There are tons of great stuff that shows up on Facebook. But I know not everyone is on Facebook, and understandably so. Would like to use this thread to post some of the pictures of the great items that get posted.
Please do not turn this into a Facebook vs OldGas discussion, and please do not PM me for any details regarding if an item is for sale or not.
I just want this to be a showcase page, where items can be posted & shared and added to the wonderful OG archives. Please feel free to contribute.

Bryce, thanks for taking on this project. As one who is not on FB, it's nice to see other things.

For those of you who are not on Facebook just know that a lot of us members are and considering all the problems with eBay it's a wonderful place to buy and sell. you'll be amazed how many members are on there.
Thanks

Maybe it's an 'if you can't beat 'em, then join 'em thing', but I don't understand what's wrong with just buying and selling here on good ole Oldgas.
I don't facebook. At least not yet anyways. I suppose I'm going to have to give in one of there days. I get nauseated just looking at a facebook page. The layout and function, from what I have seen is terrible!!
Like above talking about groups. Can't a link to these groups be posted?

Hey Bryce originally designed this thread to display/showcase items that members have seen on FB and not to be a discussion on the pros/cons of FB. But since that has happened and is done with, can others post their FB pictures. That GMC neon sign is spectacular.

I like to post my petro keepers here on oldgas where the audience is smaller and more concentrated on collectors and knowledge. I do enjoy looking at some of the great items that show up on FB. I try not to do more than like a post or wish someone happy B day. I do post items for sale on FB from time to time as the process is quick with many spots to sell. With that said I'm waiting for BOTW to post my Peotone buys only on oldgas.
