Craigslist
Strengths:
- Older sellers who are less tech-savvy (more willing to take cash)
- Less competition from other buyers
- Still strong for vehicles 10+ years old
- More scams and fake listings
- Photos are often terrible
- No messaging history like Facebook
Facebook Marketplace
Strengths:
- Largest active user base for cars
- Sellers are accountable (real profiles)
- Better photos and descriptions on average
- Faster response times
- More competition from other flippers
- Algorithm sometimes hides fresh listings
The Strategy
