I listed a laptop on FBM, and out of probably 30 contacts, 29 were pretty obvious scammers. Really bad experience. I've had much better luck on CL.

I mainly have been buying and selling photography gear and outdoor power equipment of late but when I did list my 2019 15" MacBook Pro a couple years ago I got nothing but ridiculous low-ball offers and scam replies. The scams were the typical "I will pay over your asking price plus shipping via PayPal" to which I always responded with "I don't use PayPal but I will accept your offer if you can pay with Bitcoin, here's the payment address..." which always ended the conversation.
