Commerce in the time of Corona

[Today’s run: 6+ miles on Heritage Trail]

I’ve bought 3 things recently from local sellers on Facebook Marketplace. One was a florescent shop-lite fixture (with bulbs). Next was a long HDMI cable. And today was a set of 3 gel-cel batteries.

I haven’t actually seen any of the sellers. I would converse with them via Facebook Messenger, then follow their directions to pick up the item and leave the money. It actually worked out pretty well I think.


About that motorcycle in the last blog. I had told the guy I wanted to come and see it on Saturday. I believe that was Thursday. But Friday it was marked “sold”. That frequently happens with these things.
