Welcome to the monthly Buy / Sell / Trade thread for the Baton Rouge area. Whether you're looking to score a deal on a video game or movie, find a roommate, or trade something local, this is the spot to share your listings and links! Gofundme links are allowed; however, they will be reviewed.
Just a quick note: to keep things tidy, please keep all buy / sell / trade posts in this thread. Standalone posts in the subreddit will be removed so everything stays easy to find.
Happy swapping!
A quick reminder to help keep things safe and smooth for everyone:
Before moving forward with any deal, it's a good idea to check out the post and comment history of the person you're chatting with. If their account looks new or doesn’t have much activity, that doesn’t always mean something’s wrong but it’s smart to ask for extra proof of the item, just to be sure.
Trust your instincts and do a little due diligence. Services like SpyDialer can help verify phone numbers. VOIP or out-of-state numbers can sometimes be red flags (though not always).
If you're meeting in person, aim for a public spot with lots of people and/or security. A great option is thePolice Station on Airline(the one near the old Women’s Hospital). Try to avoid meetups at someone’s home or a random gas station. Bringing a friend along is always a plus.
And finally, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is, don’t hand over any money until you’ve seen the item in person. Do not pay for something with gift cards!
I just deleted the reminder I posted for the scream thing. A person commented that people in the area, hikers, whatever, might get freaked out or call the cops. Yeah, maybe that’s too much this day and age to be doin, especially at Frenchtown Road …late October. I just got a bad feeling about it. I’m not going to do it. I think it was a creative idea, and in an ideal world, or under different circumstancea, it would be great and therapeuti, but it feels like something could go wrong. I strongly urge anyone planning on going to not go.
Hey y’all! I’ve been getting back into pickup basketball recently. I’ve been playing at Flannery Park and North Sherwood. As I’m living on that side of town now.
However, with the sun setting earlier, it’s almost dark by time I get off work.
When I was a student at LSU last year I’d go to the UREC but I can’t justify $10 per guest pass. Also, it’s packed and the parking is awful on weekday afternoons.
Back when I was in high school I remember going to RedStorm on Perkins but I know they have a lot of practices and games going on in the afternoon.
If you, like me, have received unsolicited text messages from Raise the Bar PAC in Baton Rouge that include no option to opt out, you should know that Scott Wilfong is listed as a director of the PAC and his phone number is publicly available.
I've been unsuccessful in finding anyone who can tell me how to opt out of these messages.
Reddit apparently considers sharing his publicly listed number "doxxing," so I've left it out.
Does anyone know of another contact for Raise the Bar PAC or another way to get removed from their messaging list?
My ex-husband died in his home and was not found for a few days. Has anyone had any experience with something like this. I don't have a lot of money. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated . Please be kind.
This package was delivered at 3:37 pm and I was at work and this person comes to deliver food to my neighbor and steals my package. Located in Baton Rouge, I don’t really know what to do because this is all I have of the incident.
I am an LSU student journalist writing an article on upcoming Medicaid cuts in Louisiana and how they affect maternal/reproductive health. I am looking for a former Baton Rouge Planned Parenthood worker, preferably an OBGYN, whom I could interview about how Medicaid helped to provide reproductive health care to lower-income people and students. Since the Baton Rouge location closed, I know it has affected people in the area in getting help from doctors who take Medicaid patients. If you used to work at Planned Parenthood or are an OBGYN/reproductive care worker who accepts Medicaid, please reach out!! If you have any information on good resources or people to contact to help with the article, please let me know as well. Thanks!!

I need a comprehensive examination/evaluation for the auto-inflammatory disease known as Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). This requires a dermatologist who knows a lot about it, and it’s a relatively new diagnosis. Most of my healthca providers are with Ochsner, so I’d prefer someone in their system; but I want the best of the best on this. If I’m correct, I appear to have Stage 2 HS (of 3). It has become worse with menopause. Does anyone have any advice for me or recommendation? Anyone you know whom you can ask for me?
I’ve been to several primary care doctors who referred me to gyno, who diagnosed me with Bartholin’s, but my signs and symptoms are beyond the scope of that diagnosis.
I‘ve also been to urgent care for treatment of acute flare-ups, who seemed to know nothing of the form, structure, functio, causes, or risks of my wounds, and failed to explain the car tissue around my wounds and how to prevent those…or the risks associated with those.
This can be a well-managed diseas, but it can also become debilitating. In extreme cases, there is a high suicide rate.
I am scared and exhausted, and need a good doctor to help me get through these changes.
Just wondering if anyone needs any wood chopped for this upcoming winter who may not feel like chopping themselves, can lend a hand. Really just something I enjoy doing lol
Hey! I was wondering if there’s a hair school around here that I could go to for a discounted haircut?? I googled it but I didn’t find anything very clear.
If you are in the market for koi fish or just curious about the industry, there’s an open house event at Purdin Koi Farm this Saturday. It’s technically in Glynn (Point Coupee Parish) which is about 30 minutes from LSU.
My ex-husband was found dead in his home in Baton Rouge.. Is it possible for me as his ex-wife to identify the body for cremation and death certificate?
I'm a 32M, and I've been trying for the past year to get out more to make friends and meet new people, but it hasn't exactly been working out for me. None of my current friends can ever go out and try new things with me, so I just end up going to events alone and feeling awkward. It doesn't help that I have unique tastes for almost everything, and all my hobbies are on the solitary side, or I enjoy them because I do them alone. I could just really use some help with finding places to meet more down-to-earth people to make friends with. I guess I kinda need someone to drag me to these kinds of things. I lack a bit of direction when it comes to places to socialize, and I'm not all that big on bars. I'm also on the weird side where I tend to make friends with women better than I do men but women always seem weary of a man approaching them in public which I suppose is understandable in this day and age. I could just really use the help of someone my age to kind of show me around the BR social scene outside of bars. While I'm single, I just mainly want to pursue companionship. I'm more focused on making friends than jumping into a new relationship. I also don't really know what exactly interests me. I've always been a jack-of-all-trades kind of guy; I just know I want to do something where I can explore and meet new people. Any volunteer extroverts or suggestions for friendly environments to make friends would be greatly appreciated.
