A little bit and a bit are common idiomatic phrases in English meaning "a small amount."

I got sucked into using FB marketplace to sell some baby/kid gear with an uncommonly smooth first experience. First person to enquire showed up when they said they would, had the right amount of cash, no loving around.

Next items: 10 "is it still available" messages then nothing further, 2 scammers wanting to transfer money and claiming their son will collect it, and one person asking a billion questions that are answered in the ad

I just want some cash :(

I've had better luck with gumtree. Still some dickhead no-shows but less bullshit than fb marketplace.

More often than not if it's an item worth less than $50 I'll try and give it away to a friend or donate it if I can because the stress of trying to sell it isn't worth the cash. Someone on fb arguing with me wanting to pay $2.50 for a brand new, in the box slip n slide that I'd advertised for $5 broke me.

There's still a lot of people seeking gift cards as trades in mine which kinda defeats the purpose imo.

Just ask for money at that point, especially if you're gonna make it against the rules to trade booze.

Yeah, I wouldn't bother with anything less than $50. I did a massive cleanout, donated things to friends, put a few things on the local buy nothing group and booked a hard rubbish pickup for the leftovers, so at least they won't be taking up my space any more. It's just the stuff over $100 (mostly fancy bike seats) that I have to deal with lunatics for.

edit: I had nothing but bad experiences with gumtree

Sold an e-scooter on gumtree and it was 90% time wasters and one guy who wanted to meet me in the middle of a reserve in Park Ridge (presumably to wear my skin as a tuxedo).

Took like 2 months to sell it at close to asking.

All said, want to find a circular saw now and not looking to buy new.

I love marketplace. Theres a group of us that all live in surrounding towns and we look out for each other for games/tech whatever we are all interested and once a month do a meet up at a pub. It's great. One of my bests mates I met on marketplace.

Gumtree and marketplace is a must for people wanting to buy second hand guitar pedals. Didn’t want to wank off with any of the people I met up with though so congrats if you find that.

We all join the buy/swap/sell groups covering the regions. In a groupchat we discuss who can get what, transfer money and then when we meet up, trade. Like at the moment I have a bag of Gameboy games to give to one mate, and he has 3 xbox games for me. A third is getting me to check a potential scammer here selling an iphone.

EDIT:

Been looking up information on an old pub in my area:
