Re: Facebook Marketplace finds
I have to agree with DavisChevy, I have been using Facebook Market place regularly as my go to place to find what I am looking for. Let me tell you how it worked out for me today. I was looking at a Facebook group that is just for 67-72 Chevy and GMC 4x4. people showing their rides some selling parts, some selling trucks, some just sharing their builds and stories.
A gentleman posted a couple of pictures of a original paint and straight 68 K20 long bed stepside truck. He stated that he had this truck for a long time and did not know what he was going to do with it. I posted back that I thought the truck was really cool and that if he ever thought of selling the truck to let me know. Thirty minutes later he sent me a message on Facebook messenger and we struck up a conversation about the truck. not doing to well the last few years and his wife would like him to get rid a few things if possible. His story is he purchased the property eight years ago with several vehicles on the property including this 68 K20. He said that his health has been not doing so well the last few years nd his wife would like him to get rid of some of the cars on the property. We came to an agreement and I made a deal that was both fair to him and good for me.
About three weeks ago I was on my lunch hour looking through Facebook again on one of the groups and someone posted that they were looking for a Cheyenne K10 for a project. I reached out to the gentleman and told him that I had a project truck that I might be willing to sell. He sent me a message asking him to call him so I did. We made a deal on the truck in about ten minutes and the next morning he wired me the money.
I am not saying that Facebook is the end all be all, its just another avenue that sometime works. Just like planting the seed of interest to the farmer that has the old truck sitting in the field.
