At a macro level Amazon has usurped eBay's marketplace, but at a micro level FB marketplace has really hit its stride.

I will often wait until someone on FB is selling what I want within an hours drive, rather than buy the same thing to be shipped from afar. Skis, bikes, fermentation gear, Ring cameras, etc.

Mainly this is the result of being repeatedly burned on Amazon/eBay, but it's also related to the fact that I can often get the same thing cheaper when the competition is local.
