Face the Facebook

I’m slightly obsessed with Facebook Marketplace. Spending hours scrolling through random ads gives me the same thrill as digging through crates for vinyl or pawing through racks of clothes at a thrift shop. It’s also easier on my aching bones. Here are two gets from last week. Pictured up top is an Eli’s Kuapi for Kupittan Kulta caged Chrysoprase ring. A lovely lady in Richmond Hill was selling a lot of silver rings and I spotted this one immediately. How was I able to pick it out from the crowd? Because I had this ring before. Why did I buy it? Because I lost it some ten years ago.

There is a dark side to FB Marketplace. Selling things through the platform is extremely trying. Just now I’m waiting to hear back from a guy who was super stoked to negotiate a deal and is now ghosting me once a plan was in place. Why are people so flakey online?

Anyway, here are a pair of Red Sky barrel pants that I picked up last week. Another fun thing about FB trades is getting to explore new neighborhoods.
