    Craigslist is better for finding apartments and roommates as well. Also finding handymen or off the books workers of any type.

    Marketplace is good for used tools, selling stuff, buying stuff.

    Nextdoor is a cesspool, populated by paranoids that find each other and reinforce their delusions, calling the police on “strangers,” fielding grand conspiracies, and otherwise talking trash without cause.

      Perhaps it depends on the quality of moderation for your Nextdoor area. But those issues you listed are separate from the buying/selling part of it anyway. I’ve generally found Nextdoor & Craigslist to be sufficient.
