Weekly Marketplace Thread

This is a trial, community input on the want/need for this post will be appreciated.

Buy, sell, give away, or offer services to your fellow Atlantans.

Safety First

You're dealing with strangers on the internet. r/Atlanta and Reddit cannot verify anyone's identity or protect you if something goes wrong.

-----You assume all risk-----

Protect yourself:

  • Meet in public - Police station parking lots, busy coffee shops, bank lobbies. Many police departments have designated safe exchange zones.
  • Bring someone - Don't go alone, especially for high-value items.
  • Cash in hand - Verify payment before handing over items. If using apps, confirm the money hits your account.
  • Trust your gut - Deal seems too good? Buyer acting weird? Walk away.
  • Never share personal info - No home address, no workplace, no financial details.

The mods are not involved in any transaction. Buyer beware.
