I have bought all my rugs in my apartment from Facebook marketplace. All wool & hand knotted. For someone who has had success at shopping on Facebook marketplace, here is how you will go about it.
1: search the item you need
2: like and save each listing even if it’s outside your budget – this teaches the algorithm to know your preferences.
3: you can simplify the search by creating folders for your items
4: learn to negotiate with the seller
5: send straight concise messages not “is this still available” they never respond to that.
6: ask for close up photos especially when it comes to rugs in the vintage, antique category
6: turn your notifications on so when your save items reduce in price you will be notified
7: be proactive this is a game of an early bird catches the biggest worm.
