Good place to buy used hardware?

FidelZastro · 1 Oct 2011 at 21:48

Hi mates,

I just moved to London from Germany and sold my computer before since I wasn't able to take it with me anyway. I used to buy the parts used in a large forum (about four times as much users as this one) where the prices were better and the sellers more reliable thank on ebay. Is there anything similar in the UK? I dont want to pay the premium for new hardware or for international shipping, but I would hate not to be able to play modern warfare 3, Battlefield 3 etc.

Also, my library of 200+ GB of Images somehow outperforms my D430's 1.2ghz Core2Duo.

Any suggestions where to look? Thanks a lot!

Get some more posts (250) and use the members market on here?

Otherwise you could try B grade items on ocuk website, with the added bonus that they will have some warranty left

There is a market in here? I didn't know that

Sounds like what I am looking for, the spam engine is getting started

Thanks, mates.

I assume you're joking but just in case:

Members Market?

The members market is provided as a free service to active and contributing forum members. OcUK are not liable for any deals that are done in the Members Market, you are free to buy and sell at your own risk. Please read the rules of the Members Market before you proceed to make your first sale.

Access to the Members Market forum requires two things. Firstly, you will need to have over 250 posts and have been signed up for at least 90 days. Please note that this does not mean you spam the forums simply to increase your posts, as this action will result in posts being deducted, and if you continue this behaviour, your account will eventually be banned/suspended. Once you reach 250 posts, you will need to activate your trust.The Trust system is for Members Market feedback only and not to be used for general user comments. Abusing the trust system will not be tolerated and such abuse will result in your account being suspended/ banned. Trust activation is either found in your UserCP, or you can press the trust button that appears at the bottom of all your posts.

Once you satisfy both of these criteria, Members Market access will be granted within 24hrs. Please do not post on the forums asking why you cannot access the members market, if you have any queries, email one of the forum Dons/Admins. The contact addresses are available in the FAQ. There is no buying, or selling allowed outside of the Members Market.

Can we join the trust system if we have less than 250 posts and were members for over a year?

Yes, you can join at any time.

Just click on the trust button in one of your own posts.
