Making money from Facebook

[mnporter2001]

Just thought I would share something I did last week.

I guess we have all seen and may even be members of the "buy and sell" groups on Facebook, I even admin one of them

Anyway whilst browsing through a local one to me the other day, wishing I could afford this that and the other, I came across 30 xbox360 games for £30 well i'm no game wizard but having children and having to buy them the games I knew that these games were worth more than £1 each.

So I made contact and purchased all the games, I then took 4 games out that my children wanted and sold the other 26 on a different local group for £70

I was well chuffed not only did I provide my kids with some new games thus keeping them upstairs instead of annoying me downstairs but i also made a profit, and the bets bit was there was no fee's for using the Facebook platform.

Just thought I would share that with you, its possible to earn money online whilst browsing Facebook

Cheers
Mark

I'm going to bring this thread back to top. The topic but not really the content is related.

Someone I know runs a Facebook page promoting different activities. She doesn't sell anything from it, I really doubt she gets paid by the companies and on the face of things there's no money changing hands. I seen a similar page though with 300k likes and lots of activity.

Would someone be earning money doing something like that? Advertising?

I have never trusted groups similar to this. I have heard a lot of scams come from doing this kind of thing.

May I ask though, how did it work? Did you send the person the money via PP and then he sent the games?

I am seeing more and MORE of this going on now.

I can see Facebook taking over Gumtree if it wanted to.

Seems to be VERY popular in 'mum facebook groups' to sell your old baby/toddler items on there.

Clearly it is a captive market.

If I had baby stuff to sell I would join a baby/mum facebook group and sell the stuff.
If I go on gumtree I am hoping that people find my item
