Like in the 40 year old virgin? Is that still a thing? I have 2 vintage arcade games I want out of my basement. They can’t be shipped because they’re huge so it would have to be local I guess.

Or any other means of selling these? I don’t use Facebook.

I don’t want to put on Craigslist mainly because I don’t want strangers showing up at my house.

Ebay is still used for sure. I agree about Craigslist, I don't feel comfortable with that. I know you don't use FB but maybe sign on just to get into the Buy and Sell Groups. I belong to my community buy and sell as well as the Suffolk County one and I've had a lot of luck selling things on there. Plus, with the community group you can mostly trust the people you're selling to, MANY of them end up being friends from the district or friends of friends. It's the only method that I use to sell things now.

Facebook marketplace and buy sell groups along with Amazon has taken over Ebay it seems. I have a family member who sells on ebay.....like $50k a year in stuff. But, this past year sales have dipped dramatically. No one wants to pay shipping on most things...and the post office rates are high these days for packages. I know you said you don't do FB, but that is where I get rid of most of my stuff! New and used!

I do! I am not really comfortable with selling on either craigslist or FB groups. I have for large items like furniture here and there, but thats about it.

I have sold a ton of Michael Kors handbags on ebay, wallets, name brand clothes, cameras, etc.

And yes, the shipping is expensive, but my husband owns his own company so I ask him to ship under his business account since he gets a hefty discount lol.
