MrEarl Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) I have been looking for alternative Buick car/parts "wish book" sites. Considering a large number of the listings in the AACA Buy-Sell originate from Facebook I used my wife's FB account to scout out FB Classified and some Buick oriented groups and found quite a few. As I haven't created my own FB page yet and am not up on how to navigate and discern what sites are good or bad, I thought it might help me and others here to seek guidance as to good and bad FB sites to look at. I have however become familiar enough with some of the groups and their members to know I will likely limit my visits there and participate in discussions very little. Too many "Oh my uncles daughters first cousin once removed had a car like this but it was an Oldsmoblile" comments The Buy-Sell sites I've found thus far Buick Swap Meet Buick Owners Parts/Swap... Most groups also allow or include Buy-Sell ads Classic Buicks HomeTown Buick 54,55,56 Buick Enthusiasts 1953-1958 Buicks Worldwide Waterfall Buicks Please post your favorites or any that you think serve the Buick community well Edited February 4, 2021 by MrEarl (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jscheib Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Lamar, I peruse or follow all the later on your list, but not looking for anything. I feel those I follow are pretty straight forward, but do not much follow the Buy-Sell aspects. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 thanks @jscheib after all these years I've finally fallen prey to the outside world of FB and registered. It does seem to be a good venue for marketing cars and even more so parts. While I think I will be using it in the near future mainly for that purpose, friends here will get first shot for sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the world of Facebook, social media and spyware! For personal reasons, I created a facebook account with a FB only email on gmail then used a fake name. Keep no friends, shut down all access and limit my activity to parts searching. I never was interested in electronic friends and what they ate for lunch. So far this isolation has served me well. I'll take your phone call or a personal visit anytime! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 What a great needlepoint sampler! Grandma would smile the whole time she stitched that up for me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
