Computer geek swap sites?

Jul 9th, 2004

I know you guys are going to probably think this is a stupid question but I am a teenager on a very limited budget. Are there any "swap" sites out there that computer "geeks" like myself can swap computer equipment? There is a site called freemarketri.org which is where I live and you can swap stuff but no one seems to have computer equipment they are willing to swap. Sorry if this is in the wrong board. Also are there any computer clubs or swap meetings in Rhode Island? thanks

lol yea I know. I'm 14 and 1/2. But my original thought was that there other sites out there like www.freemarketri.org but they do everything from appliances to furniture. I didn't know if there was one that did just specifically computers. thanks

I had a friend who swapped his 32MB video card for my 16MB one... not really sure why... the video card works fine and I'm using it now... maybe sometimes we get lucky and we have to make sure we make the most of it...

Heck, you could check out Hardware Trading at:

If you post something that you've got or that you want to get, someone might pop up with something you're interested in.

If you're looking for old stuff visit the Obsolete Computer Museum Swapshop.
http://www.obsoletecomputermuseum.or...in/swapshop.pl

To buy/sell/trade newer stuff, you may want to check out Uncreative Labs' Forum (forums.uncreativelabs.net) or our (Uncreative Labs) affiliate 386page.com.

Since very few people at either location will be local, you probably will have to pay shipping. It's usually not too bad.

Old computers are getting to be a lost art. Here at Uncreative Labs, we still enjoy using the old computers. Sometimes we want to see how far a particular system can go, other times we use a stock system to remind ourselves of what we once had.
