Medicine Hat Buy & Sell (Facebook Style)

I never realized this, but there is a huge community for buying and selling (garage sales) in Medicine Hat. Most of this community exists spread throughout several Facebook groups. Overall, it’s probably not the best system or way to do it; however, considering it’s Facebook, you’re going to get a lot of users, visitors and searches for items you are buying and selling – and most importantly, for FREE. In this post I will give a breakdown of all the Medicine Hat Buy & Sell groups available on Facebook.

I’m going to try and post all of them even if they don’t have much business going on because if anybody is trying to sell something (especially fast), it would be easier to post on every one of these groups to get maximum coverage (granted the item is compliant with the group’s rules). Sorry about the length on this one, there’s so many (redundant) groups!

GARAGE SALE MEDICINE HAT

One of the largest, if not the largest Medicine Hat based groups out there. There is over 6000 members, thousands of items, hundreds of posts. There’s a lot of business going on here. Who needs real garage sales anymore? GARAGE SALE MEDICINE HAT

ANYTHING for sale in Medicine Hat

This group is another big one with close to 1000 photos listed. Plenty of users and discussions going on. As the title suggests, anything is allowed on here. ANYTHING for sale in Medicine Hat

Medicine Hat Moms Swap/Buy

Medicine Hat Buyers & Sellers

The master of all Medicine Hat buy and sell groups – tons of items and tons of members. This group is split up into several other groups for more categorization. Below is a list of all the different groups under the main Medicine Hat Buyers & Sellers group:

A Real Garage Sale…Medicine Hat

A fairly obscure group with a weird name. It also has weird rules: you can’t sell cars, pets (unless they are cheap?), houses, wedding dresses, or rings. There’s a few members with a decent amount of postings. A Real Garage Sale…Medicine Hat

Garage Sale Medicine Hat Phase 2

“Just another place to look for sale items” in the description pretty much sums this one up. Fairly small and not a lot of stuff going on. Garage Sale Medicine Hat Phase 2

Another garage sale style group only about toys and books. Low amount of members and items. Medicine Hat Garage Sale – Toys / Books Only Group.

This group is all about buying and selling Christmas decorations. Not a lot of members of items right now, but might heat up a bit during the holidays. Medicine Hat Christmas Garage Sale!

MEDICINE HAT COMMUNITY BUY + SELL

This one seems to fairly dead with almost no members and no posts of any kind. It is strictly for computers, electronics, stereo equipment and books only. MEDICINE HAT COMMUNITY BUY + SELL

Closing

Please note you will need a Facebook account to see any of this stuff. Also note that you do not actually have to join any of these groups to message the seller of the items to arrange for purchases/pick-ups; however, you will have to join if you are selling so that you can post. If I missed any, please submit them so I may add it to the list.

    Way to steal me linking that to you on MSN. I only did that cause I assumed you would troll it for hours finding NES games.

    WOW!

    It must have taken quite some time to gather this information. You’re doing a great amount of good by going through the effort and sharing this list with everyone.

    Btw, Wonderful blog!

    Thanks! I think this list is getting kind of out of date by now (there’s a couple new ones), but for the most part it is still a great resource. I may have to update it soon. Like for Garage Sale Medicine Hat, I said there was 6000 members, well there is now over 8000!
