I know it's against the rule to post an ad here, so I'm going to be indirect about it...

I'm trying to sell a laptop so I can get desktop parts but gumtree and craigslist aren't working. Anyone know a decent place to sell a laptop? It's mid-ranged, £475 so no one on Gumtree can afford it lol...

A Buy it now on ebay is your best bet, yes the fees are killer but unless you know someone in your friends or family circle you're not going to shift it. Most forums you need to be a member for a while and have minimum post count.

*sigh* I have absolute zero cash until the end of August...I don't even know what the fees are for eBay...

I think it's around 10% upto a maximum of £40 plus paypal fees on top. What about free ads paper or list it on facebook

If you're friends with someone who goes to uni, ask if they can put it in their universities classifieds or similar.

I think I may have a buyer on Facebook...though she wants the SSD... ._.
I was hoping a buyer would take both the HDD and SSD, so now I'm stuck with a 250GB 5400RPM HDD.
