If you change something in the post -- maybe just change the order of the
pictures -- you can (could) post in different venues. I changed the title
of my posting of our Peterbilt 386 so I could post it in different places.
(A fellow near San Antonio was the one who bought it.)

 I know. I don't know how it happens but there are people that make the same 
post every day or even twice a day and spam the crap out of the search. I tried 
it once and got a duplicate listing warning so I'm not sure how they do it but 
they do, or did anyway...

 On the other hand it will weed out a lot of the unsellable cars. The ones that 
should be going for scrap that somebody thinks they're going to actually get 
paid for.
It might also weed out the crazy cross posting or over posting. When I was 
shopping for my TDI there was a guy posting his same 7 or 8 cars twice a day...

Agreed. The FB search function blows.

I think the CL $5 is a good thing.

Not successfully. I don't use the FB application on my phone, I use the mobile 
Firefox browser to search FB marketplace.  It truly sucks.

Actually many of the cities I search had no new ads at all for MB in the last 
day or 1. The larger cities might have had a dozen if that.
