eBay but Mostly for Developers?


Developers use many devices (e.g. keyboards, mice, monitors, etc.) and sometimes the costs are too high. (e.g., Apple's Magic Keyboard is $94). Do you know of any platform that connects developers to potential buyers who are interested in their gadgets? There are sellers on eBay, etc., but I'd trust a fellow developer more than them.

Let's see, you might pound on a $100 keyboard for two years, maybe 4000 working hours, that is 2.5 cents an hour.

If that's the way you think you aren't certainly valuing yourself and the only way I would count on you valueing me is if I use force.

Some forums have marketplaces. I haven't looked for any technology related ones, so I can't give you any examples.

I use a keyboard that costs <$20, a 13 year old laptop,and 8 year old desktop. I'm cheap and don't upgrade unless there's a compelling reason.

/r/mechmarket looks like a working model of this but only for mechanical keyboards

Choose:

- A decent, ergonomic keyboard

- Reduced productivity, pain/discomfort, physical therapy, wrist brace, etc...
