Hey guys does anyone know a place where I can sell some used comp. parts? I'm looking at upgrading my video card and processor soon. I don't want to use ebay or an online source.

I currently got a AMD Sempron 2600 and a evga 6800gs.

Thanks.

Sell? You'll get more money on eBay than anywhere else. If you go to your local chop shop, they may take your old parts and give you a small discount on the new ones, but that's about all I can see you getting locally. If you put a classified ad in the paper, you're not apt to cover the cost of your ad for used parts.

Got a local college? You could try tacking up a notice in the student union or something.

eBay's still your best bet. Why don't you want to sell through them?

Maybe for the same reasons I hate ebay. In short, that they are as crooked as a bent corkscrew.

Couldnt agree more. Though I dont really know of a better way to sell PC hardware that is used.

If you live near USF, try advertising the parts there. Usually, there are a good many students that want/need computer parts....
