Is There a Chinese Craigslist?

[coryg]

Does anyone know of a Chinese site that is the equivalent of craigslist in Chengdu? Moving into a new apartment and looking for a bunch of miscellaneous items. GoChengdoo used to have a ton of ads from foreigners leaving China but now there are very few ads posted.

Or if you know of a site that where middle/upper class Chinese sell their goods, please let me know. A friend mentioned 58.com but the classifieds section is mostly overpriced junk.

Thanks!

Ok I’ve been looking around http://cd.58.com/ and found the section that has what I’m looking for (appliances/furniture).

The main two are:

• 58.com
• An app called 闲鱼

Craigslist is basically dead here. A lot of the buy/sell ads in the expat community have migrated from the internet to WeChat groups. There are a handful of buy/sell groups for expats in Chengdu, you might want to look for those if you don’t speak Chinese. 58 and 闲鱼 are 100% in Chinese.

DO you mean that you get a problem on buying a second-hand furniture or something else,actually you can go to the market,there’s many flea markets around you.Maybe trying to use the map and find these markets.

https://2.taobao.com/ is another option.

Thanks for all the info. I ended up giving in and just buying the items I needed from Metro and jd.com. If anyone has a multi function laser printer for sale, please let me know.

Best wishes,
Cory
