I would drop Facebook in a heartbeat but Facebook Marketplace is a strong pull for getting bargains in my local area.

I have alternatives like eBay and Gumtree but they have their own shortcomings.

Examples from Facebook:

- Antique lumber planks 50p a plank

- 4 sticks of DDR4 16GB SODIMMs, £60

- Garden tools, £10

This stuff would be slower and more expensive on eBay, and Gumtree is more of a waiting game as its userbase has definitely shrunk.
