Up until a few weeks ago, I had never really paid attention to Facebook Marketplace. What started as a simple search for some vintage sixers apparel ultimately led to my complete fascination with the marketplace items in the philadelphia region. I decided it was worthy of chronicling here. so, without further ado, my favorite listings from your friends and neighbors in the greater delaware valley:
what A steal! at $4500, you can ride around in what is clearly not a stolen truck from a favorite philly food brand. that’s too tasty of a bargain to pass up; selling this will be a piece of kake.
The audacity of this brave philadelphian to list a ben simmons bobblehead for $20 is unmatched. jUst move the decimal place over two spots and you’re almost near present value.
at first glance this looks like a fun deal, $90 for the phanatic’s oversized shoes. unfortunately after actually reading the headline, for that price you get the privilege of owning a signed photo copy of bryce and the phanatic holding the sneakers (no, bryce didn’t sign it).
you’re telling me you can walk into any nightclub in philadelphia and show off the coolest piece of jewelry in the city, for only $4? I am Immediately buying a jim thome medallion.
my favorite listing: a $25 Curt Shilling (?) form letter, in which he apologizes to the fan for being too busy to personally write back. A small price to pay to own the sacred prose of curt’s overworked assistant in between pharmacy runs.
wait a minute, something looks off here…
everything i thought i knew about measuring my growth spurt in 5th grade was a lie. Thanks scott.
finally, as a PSA for all philly facebook marketplacers, let’s just agree to not put up decrepit daycare facilites for lease on here. there has to be a better, less creepy way to find the right tenants.
that’s all for now!
