[WHY?]
-
Because eBay is not a specialty site. Car guys (hobbyists of all kinds really) want to hang out and do business with others who share their enthusiasm. Connections are just waiting to be made!
-
The shared enthusiasm ("for enthusiasts, by enthusiasts") ensures knowledgability of subject matter, proper packing methods, values of rare and obscure items. - Because Facebook Marketplace is the wild west. "Is this available?"... UGH. FB Marketplace is fine if you can drive to the person and observe the item in person. But falls apart if shipping is involved. Nobody will come to your aid if you get wronged on Marketplace.
-
Because Forums were good years ago, but still didn't offer much in terms of buyer protection except the risk of ruining one's reputation within the forum.
