US most popular selling platforms
 

Im looking for a platforms in US where to place adds. This is for the bigger side antiques which needs to be picked up individually and paid on pickup so no integrated payment system is needed - just a most popular place to place adds.

FB marketplace works very weird and after using it for a while looking for more normal alternatives.

Could anyone recommend most popular websites for placing adds in US?

paid on pickup...just to clarify, you would want more local exposure right rather than countrywide ad-style?

Re: US most popular selling platforms
 

I would like to place an add with a price and location and phone number and leave it visible to all US and if someone likes it there is a phone for call and they are free to come and collect and pay cash on collection.

i tried use FB adds for that but marketplace by itself gives zero rezults and advertising in a groups gives some results but adds sink down pretty quickly and after few hours zero views.

Antiques? If I were you I'd search for a good antique dealer, even places like Sothebys, Cristies etc.

FB marketplace is for degenerates IMHO.

eBay seems to be pretty popular for antiques as well

where are your antiques?EU or USA?

Re: US most popular selling platforms
 

I was thinking that, a EU forum member wanting to sell on a USA platform on pay on pickup. Is it a scam seller?

fairly clear - thanks

But so happened that you are not me and as a rule every post of yours has zero touch with reality.

Would be very complicated to run such a scam by offering things like furniture to collect and only accept payments as a cash on pickup after inspection.

Re: US most popular selling platforms
 

here are some popular platforms for placing ads for larger items like antiques, especially those that require pickup, include:

Craigslist
eBay Classifieds
OfferUp (now merged with Letgo)
Nextdoor

Ebay is a good place to sell antiques,antique dealers and private collectors do browse on Ebay.
But if you are in EU and I assume your antiques are in EU,how do you expect US shoppers to come and view the item?
Rubylane is also a good place to list your items ,you may even drop these items from Rubylane to Ebay,it used to have this feature,I dont know if they still do.
I would list them on Ebay,listing is free and auto renewal every 30 days? you would get the best exposure online,whether it would lead to sales,hard to say as consumers are pretty tight with money right now,collectibles and antiques are discretionary items.

Another place would be ASPIRE AUCTION,they have a new auction going on right now,but they will have your items ,take photos and arrange delivery,you may want to inquire .

Re: US most popular selling platforms
 

I would not waste my time on Craigslist.
