Facebook marketplace, kjiji, etc

Everyone here thinks their shit tier 2018 laptop is made of gold or something.

Yep. My FB Marketplace is 75% crackheads flogging off stuff they stole from shops/actual tax payers/their neighbours/ the train, 10% delusional idiots with shit that isn't worth half of their asking price, 10% scammers, and 5% not shit listings.

'Gaming laptop, only used occasionally. Been sitting around for a while because my kid's got a new hobby. £1,200 no offers. I know what I've got'

The pictured laptop has a Centrino sticker on it and looks like it's been used to dig a garden

Same here in México, a lot of people think their dual core Intel from 2011 (and even older than that) is still worth more than +$100USD. Even worse, companies usually want to resell devices to recover some of the cost, so even that option is kind of expensive. I'm waiting for some friends that can buy company devices for cheap so they can resell them to me for cheap too lol

Pawn shop I would say but they are expensive too... Their is some carricatibe structure which refurbish computers and sell them gor dirt cheap. 20 Buck per tower. But that crapy computers.

I wouldn't touch Facebook with a 10' ethernet cable. Haven't heard of kjiji, I'll have to check it out.

It's essentially Craigslist, but in Canada.

Craigslist doesn't really have a user base here.

Except in Vancouver. It’s a Craigslist city.

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

Interesting.. I wonder why?

[-] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

You're missing out, Facebook marketplace is THE place to buy local secondhand goods for dirt cheap without getting scammed. You do need an account but you don't need to install anything, and the payments are not done through FB

Did someone fall asleep on the keyboard when they came up with kjiji?

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

I think it's secretly Khajiit's new marketplace for wares if you have the coin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
