Hello! + Some Questions

[OutThereSomewhere]

Hi,

New here from the UK.
Been lurking for a while so decided to join.

Quick question and I apologise in advance if it's in the wrong forum.
Apart from eBay where would be the best place to sell my unwanted hardware in the UK?
Not here to just ask this question BTW

Well, we do have a Buy/Sell/Trade forums here, to blow our own horn. However, most prefer someone to have a little Heatware or Ebay history to provide background, or at least a little time here on the forums before selling. That's not to say we don't stick to "innocent before proven a dick", it just makes people a little more comfortable

Heatware also has it's own marketplace, and from what I've read, pretty reputable place to sell or buy.

Whatever you do with your items, welcome to the group

Thanks@ahhzz

I fully understand.

I recently closed my eBay account after 15 years, all in good standing.
Reason: Like many I became disheartened by the way eBay was going + High and higher fees + Paypals fees + Postage hikes + all the hassle that come with freeloaders lurking on there + fake bidders etc, etc. Never had anything returned to me and all transactions went smoothly.
But of course you can only take my word for it, should have kept it open as proof but all is lost now :/

Isn't Heatware for US customers only?

Not their rating system. You should sign up for it now, and once you’ve passed the new member wait time here on TPU then you can sell here with UK (or EU members, I assume).

And welcome to TPU!

Thanks for letting me know. All I could see were goods in USD.

@rtwjunkie Thanks.

This is all new to me being a long time eBayer. Should have looked for an alternative sooner.

Just joined Heatware. Kinda makes you sick when you see US vs UK prices
