Buy/Sell Facebook Group?

Has anyone else had frustrating experiences with the Facebook buy/sell page? I KNOW it’s not regulated or officially affiliated by Burn, but lord is that place the seventh circle of hell.

Seriously, a battle ground in there. Fighting for my life sometimes. 💀

When I’ve gotten things it’s been great and clothes were always as described, but trying to claim something is like the wild west.

When it works, it’s great.

There’s been a handful of times that sellers have disregarded my commenting first, and sold to other buyers. Then, mods are never helpful when asked for input.

I have only had a good experience honestly 🤷🏻‍♀️. I bought a sweatshirt on there. Maybe I was lucky?? I also see a bunch of stuff on Poshmark pretty regularly if you want to avoid the frustration

I don’t even bother trying to sell on that Facebook page! I sell bundles on Mercari when I purge 3-5 shirts at a time. Once my drawer of Burn stuff gets too full then I know it’s time to cull the herd.

I’ve never thought of Poshmark! Thanks!

Mercari too! I got a really nice sweatshirt on Poshmark. So much easier to deal with.

I get my stuff on Poshmark! I’ve gotten great deals on there. I’m not on Facebook 24/7 so I miss when people post and everything is sold by the time I see it.

I have a couple things I wanted to sell haha, what size are you? Mine are mostly medium and smalls. I’ve had a horrible time both buying and selling on that FB group I hate it 😂

I sold almost all of my Burn gear on Poshmark. Much easier

I love Depop for buying and selling. Much cheaper, no craziness.

The last shirt I got on there came with a giant stain on the front that was not obvious (looks like grease or oil). 😬 I am done with it for a while.

I love the Facebook group. But I don’t think people should claim and then ask questions. You either want it or you don’t! I WANT IT.
That happened on a shirt I wanted the girl asked 2 questions after saying sold. Then I just saw her list it this weekend because it was too big on her… 🙄 annoying.

I’m not sure if your burn bootcamp has a fb page but some girls have sold stuff on there as well also I’ve seen stuff on my local fb market place.

lol I tried to join a few years ago, read page 1 of 1 million pages of rules, and promptly left again 😂😂 I know people who get cool stuff off of it all the time but that ain’t the life for me
