    Hey Gang,

    First time potentially purchasing from facebook marketplace.

    Any tips or what I’m in for?

      Cash, cash only. If something feels too good to be true it probably is a scam so trust you gut and walk away.

      Beware the "is this item still available"s…it’s a stock quick reply.

      Edit. Just re-read that you’re a buyer. Hopefully the item is still available.

          Oh look you’re probably okay, a counterfeit copy or damaged disc/card is possible but seems unlikely if it’s a cheapie. Just meet in a public place if you can.
