I was cold, a turbo session has warmed me up now.
Cheaper than a new fire as well.

Morning all :hello:

Been having a clear out of stuff these past few weeks and thought I'd try selling on Facebook.
I don't 'do' FB - ie no personal posts or photos, friends, comments or other stuff, but the response from my ads has been phenomenal. Beats Gumtree and Ebay by a mile.
Quickest sale was for my old pub bike which went for £30 within 2 minutes of me posting the ad (I only paid a tenner for it a couple of years ago :smile:)
Sold some fishing gear for £150 last night, guy's picking it up today.
I'd recommend the FB platform to anyone for selling stuff. :okay:
How does it work Dirk?
Do paople bid or you put a price on it?
Does FB charge?
Anything else youcan think of.

I am a "member" on FB although I very rarely use it.
I live in a place called Orford which is a small area of Warrington.
How would I find local groups to advertise on ?
Would I find Orford or Warrington?

Just go to market place and you can type in your area and the distance you want to cover.

Market place ??
Had no idea there was such a thing :wacko:
TBH I only joined FB because a my SiLs brother died and all details etc were done via FB. I go on maybe once every 6 weeks, look at the utter sh*te some people post and switch off.
At first I got friends requests. One young girl (daughter of someone we used to know) put in a 'friend request'. I thought "why"? and typed no.
I had no idea it reported back to the person concerned:eek:. Apparently she was very upset. I didn't make that mistake again.

Years since I was up there. It's a lovely area. Is the hippy community still there.............are you even allowed to call them that in this pc world! :laugh:
Yes the Findhorn community, located incongruously close to the military base, is still thriving. Judging by all the fancy designer houses and luxury car brands parked up outside them I think they are get well off hippies as hippies go.
