Thanks for the shout out and ideas..I would put the emphasis on two things:
1 - with free listings (both on the FB marketplace and on other classified sites) there is no limit to where a student would post to get exposure
2- there is plenty of distribution/technology opportunities outside of Facebook. Granted facebook is a huge platform that is impossible to compete with - we know that. But people use other sites and always will, and there is always room for innovation. For example, Facebook doesn't have a global marketplace search.
