What is the most overpriced used tech deal you have ever seen?

Because Aussies DO NOT use craigslist by default, they use Gumtree.

Thats why Aussies call gumtree the craigslist alternative, because most people find gumtree first.

 

We both could go and ask "Whats the cheapest way to advertise/sell something online, alternative to ebay?"

Gumtree is the Aussie's answer.

Don't you think calling it the 'craigslist alternative' implies that craigslist is still the household name, not gumtree?

The only person I know that has ever used gumtree is a guy I went to tafe with who stole tools from the work shops.

edit: to sell the stolen stuff, if you didnt pick that up.

I call it the craigslist alternative because I'm not on an Aussie forum, but an international site that more people are familiar with CG.

 There are more people HERE who use craigslist by default, but Aussies alone... use Gumtree and I've no doubt in my mind, they've also never heard of Craigslist.

Sony's PS eye is quite expensive. I find it hard to believe that the PS eye is much different on the insides from a 15 dollar Logitech webcam.

I actually used a standard webcam on the ps2

honestly, 38 for checking email and such might be a deal for some. even though its rare

256mb ram might be limiting though^^

AHAHAHAA

A 3970X with a 8400 GS, for 1.5K? No. The CPU is worth a decent amount, but not that much. I think the GPU is funnier.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)
