IMHO, it's easier to just drive around looking for local yard sales than to find current FB listings.
It's getting to be that time of year when a lot of people in my area start having more garage/yard sales. There once was a time when you could go to FB Marketplace and easily find listings for any upcoming or current sales. Lately, however, in spite of the fact that I have my search setting for local (within 20 miles), I still end up with a lot of garage sale listings that are over 50 miles away. Also, there's the large number of active listings for sales that happened weeks and even months ago. Would it be so hard for Facebook to set up a system where garage sale listings are automatically deleted at least a week after the sale has ended?
Yeah, I know there's bigger problems to worry about but this is just frustrating.
