You can't really.

Overclockers uk have a members market where you buy/sell things, sure there are some other forums around which do the same thing.

But it largely a grey area since the forum/site is responsible for what happens.

Yes http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/

However, you need to have been a member for awhile and have quite allot of posts (I can access it since I'm a regular on there)

Its a way to protect people who are buying/selling in there.

Also get free 1st class delivery for being a member with enough posts on there store.

You don't have to, anyone can buy this.

The thing that @Matsy was talking about was where forum members sell stuff in the forum itself, not this. :)

Don't worry about that, you can talk freely about what are you going to buy and where from you're going to buy it, but you can't sell anything on the forums, as in literally sell, or link to your ebay auction n stuff.

Buy a Sandybridge system off eBay that someone is trying to get rid of.

 

You can always buy old gen parts but new

(same performance as a 760, but £20 less)

 

There was an offer for a GTX 580 for £160, but I guess you missed it.

Compatible with Windows 95

Sorry, missed that - I'm afraid nothing comes to mind other than what has already been suggested.
