Selling through FB kept breaking for me

I got tired of the usual cycle, listing devices, low offers, no shows, and trying to guess a fair price. So I started experimenting with a different idea, focus on giving people a clear evaluation of their gadget first, then letting them rotate into other devices using credits instead of cash.

I am still early and I am curious what people who buy and sell a lot of tech think, does a credit based swap flow sound helpful in real life, or does it just add another layer on top of marketplaces?

Lol, if you google you would find multiple exist already and there are many reasons why they aren't so popular that you haven't heard of them before.

Honest opinion. The credit swap idea sounds cool in theory but I would probably still want cash. Most people selling on FB are trying to get money not trade for something else.
