[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Facebook is more efficient but you get significantly less money. A tot swap shirt that would sell for $2.00 would get .25-.50 at best. Facebook folks in less they are asking for something often want it for free or close to free saying its a yard sale. I've had a few people constantly ask me for like new stuff for free that was very expensive to purchase.[/quote]

That's not my experience.

TotSwap -- Item sells for $2, Tot Swap takes their 35%, so I end up with $1.30.  I also have to subtract the value of my time spent tagging and hanging as well as my time and gas to deliver to TotSwap.
Facebook -- Item sells for $1.  (I price my lots at a $1 per item and I state up front that I don't negotiate).  I don't have to tag anything, just take a picture.  I don't have to hang anything, just toss it in a bag.  I don't have to drive anywhere, just wait for buyer to come to me.   I come out way ahead with FB.  I WOTH full time; if you are a SAHM with more time on your hands then TotSwap might be worth it to you.[/quote]

I gave up with the Facebook after several no shows or those who get there and offer you next to nothing and its hard to get them to leave.  I've done pretty well even with their % and have learned not to sell any expensive things like barely used shoes or good jackets.  Once you get hang of it, its not that big of a deal but the first few times its very time consuming.[/quote]
