Ebay is still the best. It sucks that local thrift stores are such garbage these days. Goodwill, Salvation Army, Knights of Columbus, they’re all pretty crummy these days. Goodwill went super corporate and became more like Big Lots (buying unsold department store stock) rather than a perpetual garage sale like it used to be. And prices for anything good are Ebay level.
Facebook marketplace seems to be a bunch of scams these days, not to say it isn’t useful for some stuff but I’ve noticed niche items are often scammers/fakes. Not sure what their goal is. Craigslist depends on location but in my area it’s shit now.
So since Ebay charges to list and sell stuff it’s still best since that weeds out most scammers and you’ll probably be paying Ebay prices wherever else you look at these days.

Goodwill has shifted to putting their best stuff on their website which is run like eBay.
Really sucks that you can’t find the one-off awesome stuff there anymore.
yea i did have to find a couple things i couldnt get elsewhere, or is sold in stores anymore on ebay.
I haven’t shopped in a thrift store for a while but I absolutely hate that they’ve turned into that. It used to be great shopping there.
