How and why the fuck is liquor being sold on Facebook? No licenses? Fucking absurd
People literally sell plates of food from their dirty kitchens on Marketplace. I've seen it, wild prices too, like $15 for a BBQ plate.
I honestly have not used it so this is just.. Astounding
A lot of low income people will use their food stamps to buy food and then make "plates" of food and sell them to convert food stamps into cash. Less shady and illegal than using a independant convenience store or bodega to make "withdrawals" from your food stamp account.
Another version of this is people waiting at gas stations offering to buy your gas if you pay them in cash, while taking a discount obviously.
They get cash, you get cheaper gas. Ive never accepted the offer, but been solicited several times
Its crazy. I used to buy edibles off someone I seen advertising on Facebook myself. They sold them on Etsy.
love this
Do they deliver? Or is it pickup only?
I got mine delivered, but they also had a local pickup option. The "company" is in a legal state, I lived in a different state where its not legal, they didn't care.
