Ask HN: Where to get used hardware cheap?

3 laserstrahl 5 5/12/2025, 4:23:27 PM

I love tinkering and it’s sometimes expensive to get hardware. Do you know sites like Craigslis, forums(?), discords where a sell section exists? I am happy for every answer.

My favorite sources are garage sales, swap meets, thrift stores, and storefronts for recycling centers. I haven't had much luck with online sources.

Liquidation auction sites, estate sales, the like. Govdeals or equivalent.

eBay is fairly cheap for commodity hardware. Especially the off-lease commercial desktop PCs.

Some bigger cities have electronics recyclers and upsellers. Look for them on Google Maps or such. Thrift stores will often have printers, routers, etc.

Best Buy actually has a good certified used section (open box and returns) that sells them for like 20% to 30% off.

A patient future of regular market monitoring accompanied by ready cash is the best preparation for scoring a lucky bargain.

Basically, you can trade time for money.

There is no website for easy arbitrage.

It also helps to be able to service/repair the tech you want...again trading time for money.

Paying market rate is fast and convenient.

Good luck.
