Some props for a guy who sells on Facebook.

Is there another way to see what you are selling without having a FB account? V/r Shawn

Come on, Shawn, everyone is doing it! lol

Thanks Joe, I am officially liking your FB page!

To each their own I spose . Feebay unfortunately / a couple threads on RRB and I'm gonna post on here too soon . I'll try all options before feebay . And the seasons just starting . I had 106 bikes about this time last year . he he . Ask springer tom about all the parts I sent to him in Florida the past couple years.

Hmmmm.......FB to sell stuff.........whodda thought. Do you use and auction type selling format or just list a price or OBO? While eBay does charge fees (still cheaper than an auction house fee of 20 or 30%) you do reach an S load of prospective buyers and have a better chance of making a higher sale price (maybe). Having multiple irons in the fire is a good idea and I had never thought about FB.....nice

I draw the line. No face book. No way.

Text, email, phone and the Cabe is totally enough. I have a membership with rat rods and I'm rarely on there. All this technology sucks way too much life away let alone the regular stimulations of modern life. It's bad enough having iPhone for me. I mean look, I'm on right now conversing through my cell.

Remember the days of calling someone, the snail mail you photo and you send a check if you want the bike? Only cost were the phone call, stamp for the envelop and shipping. Totally private and no trace of sale or purchase. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to business quickly if needed, there can be a lot of competition with the world needing the same part. But I think too much technology can take the personal respect away from and the human contact. A lot of good people in the hobby, it's nice to hear a voice directly once in awhile. Keeps it in perspective.

If there is another option for selling other than eBay and here for the masses great. Facebook is another company I will not use in doing so. But I like your thinking. eBay has become a bit much with rules and fees.

Anyways, there's my rant. Not bothered. Just saying. No face book for me or anything of the sort. Don't need it. Thx

Good luck with your endeavor Joe! Facegoop is unquestionably another way to reach out to more people. And it seems to be the beginning of a trend that a lot of people will be using to hawk their wares. It's a logical progression, but I'm old, in the way, and not gonna' play.

Dave, I didn't hear that!!

And by the way "your not in the way at all!"

I know someone that might argue that point though, but.....

I made a comment with Chris. It didn't come quite right. My apologies to you.

Good luck with reaching out to more folks on Facebook.

Have a good day.

It actually makes me happy to see all the fb haters come out. I had friends telling me I needed to sign up long before it was a household word and I was like "No, I don't want to!" and I never did. But I do use my wife's sign in to access it when I need to. I often turn to this page when I start to feeling a little too happy and that there's not enough bad things going on in the world. https://www.facebook.com/Urgentdeathrowdogs

Besides, someone has gotten very very wealthy $$$$$ "a billionaire" $$$$$ since he came up with the idea......
