On Closer Inspection


Based on an actual listing on the Facebook Marketplace that I haphazardly stumbled into a few months ago. If you want my unsolicited opinion about the platform itself, it seems to suffer from the same problems that sites like eBay and Gumtree have to deal with, namely falsified seller reputation and listing subversion (e.g. some sellers set the price label of items to "Free" just to gain attention but then mention the actual selling price only in the listing description). Then again, I rarely buy anything from these online marketplaces, so what would I know about buying a cheap second-hand T.V. from some random person on the Internet?
