    I figured this had to be another story of the pain of dealing with buying / selling on FB Mktplace…. (I’ve been trying to sell some pretty recent 911 parts on their for months, so many messages, so many promises to come by, so many flakes), but then it’s this amazing win! Love it! Genuinely smiled.

    Yeah, I've found FB Marketplace is good for selling strange cheap stuff, but not real stuff, i.e. quality Porsche parts. Like when I put my wife's Hyundai Sorento with a bad motor for $2000, I had 100 people who wanted it, could have sold it many many times. But anything real you either gets flakes who try and re-sell it before they buy it, or just plain no-shows. Or my favorite, "Is this Available?" then crickets when you say it is.
