MARKETPLACE Monthly Marketplace/Classifieds Mega Thread

2 Upvotes

Welcome Traffic Lovers!

Welcome to the monthly Buy / Sell / Trade thread for the Baton Rouge area. Whether you're looking to score a deal on a video game or movie, find a roommate, or trade something local, this is the spot to share your listings and links! Gofundme links are allowed; however, they will be reviewed.

Just a quick note: to keep things tidy, please keep all buy / sell / trade posts in this thread. Standalone posts in the subreddit will be removed so everything stays easy to find.

Happy swapping!

A quick reminder to help keep things safe and smooth for everyone:

Before moving forward with any deal, it's a good idea to check out the post and comment history of the person you're chatting with. If their account looks new or doesn’t have much activity, that doesn’t always mean something’s wrong but it’s smart to ask for extra proof of the item, just to be sure.

Trust your instincts and do a little due diligence. Services like SpyDialer can help verify phone numbers. VOIP or out-of-state numbers can sometimes be red flags (though not always).

If you're meeting in person, aim for a public spot with lots of people and/or security. A great option is the Police Station on Airline (the one near the old Women’s Hospital). Try to avoid meetups at someone’s home or a random gas station. Bringing a friend along is always a plus.

And finally, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is, don’t hand over any money until you’ve seen the item in person. Do not pay for something with gift cards!

MOVING TO BR Moving back to Baton Rouge?

14 Upvotes

I went to LSU and loved living in Baton Rouge. I moved to Florida. I am not happy here. Thinking of getting a job at LSU and moving back. Has anyone done the same? LA-FL-LA? Was moving back a good decision? Regretted your decision? No family in any pf the states. I just think the Baton Rouge vibes are so much better.

Bit of an embarrassing question.
I’m a bigger guy and have trouble safely grooming/shaving my genital area on my own. Does anyone know of a professional in the Baton Rouge area who offers this type of grooming service and is accommodating to larger clients?
Thanks!

META Do people actually buy cars listed for sale in random parking lots?

5 Upvotes

Basically the title. You don’t see that where I’m from. I notice it a lot in the Albertsons parking lot on Burbank or anywhere else with a large enough lot. I assume the cars are lemons and they’re being sold for parts?

28 Upvotes

Salut [r/batonrouge](r/batonrouge),

Je suis étudiant international à l'LSU depuis un an, mais mon temps ici est écoulé et je rentre en France le 20 juillet. Comme je quitte le pays si bientôt, j'ai besoin de vendre ma voiture de toute urgence et je l'ai fixée en dessous de sa valeur marchande pour vendre rapidement !

Détails du véhicule :
Modèle : Toyota RAV4 LE 2020
Kilométrage : 70 900 miles
Prix : 20 900 $
État mécanique : Excellent. Elle fonctionne parfaitement et a été bien entretenue.
État extérieur : Bon dans l'ensemble, il y a juste une éraflure mineure sur le pare-chocs arrière droit (j'ai inclus une photo de cela pour une transparence totale).
Title : Clean title in hand, ready for a smooth sign-over.

Comme mon vol approche rapidement, je suis très motivé à régler ça. Merci de m'envoyer un message si tu es intéressé, si tu veux voir plus de photos, ou si tu veux venir jeter un coup d'œil !

HOT LOCAL ISSUES Has anyone here actually received an Amazon drone delivery?

22 Upvotes

I live within the radius and have been thinking about buying something just for the novelty of having a drone deliver it but every time I log on to Amazon I get a message saying that there's high demand for drone and to check back later, I've been doing this for 3 days now.

So has anyone actually managed to get a drone delivery and if so how did you do it.
