The Goals
The groups consist of facebook users who want to sell their items in a more intimate setting, whereas Craigslist or eBay is as public as it gets. Users offer items for sale by posting details+images about it on groups and as soon as a person comments of the item, they are connected offline with the item’s owner. The groups are similar to forums and are not formal; they often focus on particular neighborhoods, brands or items.
