>Craigslist is the only one that comes close for replicating fb marketplace.

FB marketplace is an incredibly weak attempt to replicate craigslist and its only advantage is that FB polices its userbase so you are a bit more likely to know who you are dealing with. Nextdoor polices the userbase more.

"and its only advantage is that FB polices its userbase"

I find the biggest advantage is the network effect. In my experience I have found a lot of things through marketplace and fb groups, in addition to craiglist.
