I am so frustrated trying to buy and sell things here.  I just moved here and I have never had such a difficult time buying and selling items online locally. So maybe some of the natives can educate me on how to buy and sell here in the Houston area.  I have used Facebook, the free classifieds, Craigslist and it seems like I am just spinning by wheels. 4951

maybe it's because you have a non local number and folks might not like that... 4951

That's possible, but so do tons of other people that have moved to the area.  Half of my friends are from out of state and still have their phone numbers from out of state.  That's becoming a more common thing. 4951

@kalynmn2:
 
I would also be leary of contacting an out of state number. Just say you have recently moved here and are a carpetbaggerEmoticon kidding. 4951

To be fair, this is an issue that has been brought up a number of times on the forum. I still have my 602 Arizona area code phone number and don't plan on changing it any time soon. Like the OP said, this is becoming more and more common. @kalynmn2  Maybe you can make a point to let buyers/sellers know you just moved to the area -- just in case they're wondering about that phone number. 4951

There is an item that I really need, because we moved here with nothing for furniture and we finally got a place after staying in a hotel for 3 months.  I have left 2 messages and haven't heard back from the poster.  That was last night and then again today I sent a message.  If the item is gone they should remove it or at lease reply and say that it is sold.  I get the number thing, but there's not available Houston area code numbers on Google and I have too many people that have the other number to just change it. 4951

An out of state number would be an issue for a lot of people.I can't imagine anyone using Craigs list for anything.  Everyone who uses that dies.  I swear I saw that on TV.  lolThe classifieds here rock.  But you still have no shows, and other nonsense to deal with.  But overall I think this classified section is the safest and easiest to use.

You must watch the ID channel also. Definitely NO Craigs list. 4951

I have literally lived in every area of this country at some point in my life.  We are wanting to make this our forever landing place to raise our kids here.  I think that ultimately once we get settled we would like to get a little space in Porter or Crosby and have gardens and fun stuff like that.  My husband loves the dealership that he is working for selling cars, so I think that we are on a good start. 4951

Dunno how you feel about thrift/resale, but if you time it right there are often some good buys on furniture etc at HAAM in Humble.  Goodwill not so much. 4951

@Sparkles: The wifey makes me send her the address/phone number whenever I meet someone off there...And it's the ID Channel's fault! It's also the same reason I do all the cooking, and don't go to sleep before her. Those shows are nothing but training videos on how to kill your spouse! Emoticon 
@kalynmn2:Your phone may have something to do with it, but more than likely it's just a lazy or non-seasoned seller. More often than not, you're dealing with someone that's just using it for the first time, had someone else post for them, or is just flat out not paying attention. It's part of every single online sale site. I know it's frustrating...I deal with it quite often myself. I hope you find what you're looking for, and welcome to KDC! Emoticon Come back and post often. We're a pretty good bunch for the most part, and there's usually a giveaway going on as well. Emoticon  4951
