Trade, Buy, Sell
User to user sales and trading.

This is for used computers, parts, software, and accessories. You may also sell homebrew gear that you have built.

Also, the forum operators provide this service as-is. The individual buyers and sellers take full responsibility for the transaction.

Some additional rules:
1. All items must have a price listed in the ad. "Or trade" and "best offer" are fine, in addition to a real, reasonable proce.
2. Don't just link to a storefront somewhere else. Include a full description and contact details (even if it's just "PM me.")
3. Update your listing on the first post if an item is sold or if the price changes. Update the title, as well, with [sold]. If your item is no longer for sale for some other reason, please delete the post or update the title with [retracted].
4. Restrict replies to inquiries about price, payment methods, availability, or details about the item.

Legitimate payment services include PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle. We recommend NOT paying someone in any form of crypto, gift cards, or personal check.
