Thread: Long Island Bids opens!

  1. #1

    Long Island Bids opens!

    Long Island Bids was created to make a safe place to buy/sell locally on Long Island. With the recent events surrounding craigslist and serial killers, I felt necessary to provide a free medium for Long Islanders to safely trade items.

    With that said, Long Island Bids has undergone significant changes to the website!!

    With your help we can launch a successful and SAFE website!

    Stop by and take a moment to provide feedback.

    www.LongIslandBids.com


    100% free to use, we are not trying to solicit or sell anything, just inform the public of another means to buy/sell items.

    Li bids is associated with the liguns forum. They seem to be a good bunch.

    Thanks everyone for the kind words.

    We had an incident where I put something on 'craigslist' and a 'crack head' came to my door demanding to see the product for sale. A day later, unexpected foot prints appreared in snow on the side of my garage....

    Thus we felt it might be a good idea to open another means/medium to buy/sell locally with ease and confidence using a feedback system etc. There is no cost to use this system. I'm surely not in it for the money.

    If there are areas/topics that you think might need to be added to the listing, let me know. It was created by Long Islanders for Long Islanders.

    Curly,
    Thanks again for the support.

    Just stop by the site. Surely we all have something we can sell and cash in on

    Now, let me go read some forums here!!

    As far as the ebay comment:

    ebay is full of 'china' items and dealers now overseas. No real 'deals' or online swapping of items like it use to be. Frankly, the cost alone to sell a car is CRAZY! ebay is more of an online store now, not a one on one selling.

    Craigslist comment:

    craigslist as you know has no real security. Heck you can purchase a hooker and or buy drugs on the site.. That's not family friendly..

    I created a family friendly means to safely sell items locally.

    I looked at the site quickly and seems to be good. You are right Latley ebay is all chinese and it is ridiculous $$$ to sell a car or motorcycle on there. My husband decided to sell his cycle through word of mouth instead
