Granted Im selling on FB but I think the coal companies are destroying demand at 500ton pricing.
We just got hit with the artic zero and here in Western NY can't get anything but no shows for 425 ton rice bagged.

Maybe someone on FB is selling for $424.99 ?
Or people on FB are not a target audience. I'm not on FB.

Works both ways. I called a guy to buy a motorcycle 4 hours away. I called before I left telling him I was on my way. I gave him another call when I was about 20 minutes from his house. He says “oh I sold that about an hour ago”.

I have sold about 10 items on marketplace with no issues at all, including a pickup truck. Probably depends on what you are selling, location, etc.lincolnmania wrote: ↑Thu. Dec. 29, 2022 5:37 pmThat's just the way marketplace works. people are no shows whenever i try to sell something.
As for rice not selling at $425 per ton, I am not sure why. Maybe the coal burners in your are already have what they need or decided to do something else.
