325480 2005-02-20 02:04:00 Why would somebody sell something......

It's old
It's out of date
It's been superceeded
They no longer have a use for it
It doesn't suit their purpose
It no longer works even

what effect would that have on installing such in another machine, it'd probably slow it down or stop it from running.

Therefore I have come to the conclusion the site should be called www.retardme.co.nz

Especially if we get people selling their broken motherboards for $50, or Jack trying to sell his fried CPU with bent pins, or Metla trying to sell his broken glass...

Yeah www.retardme.co.nz sounds fitting. :thumbs:

:2cents: :( How sad that such a negative outlook can overlook all the positives that metlas site could provide! Hopefully the above quote was sarcasm that didn't survive my interpretation of the printed words.

There's heaps of good reasons why people sell what they no longer need, and there's plenty of people out there who may want that "old" pair of 80gig HDDs that just got made redundant by the sellers new 200 gig HDD, or perhaps a second computer for personthingy, so visitors can get email etc without interrupting personthingy at "work"

Those of us who don't need the biggest bestest fastest newest machine with a big red racing stripe are glad to get our claws on other peoples hand-me-downs, at a reasonable price of course. :D

325485 2005-02-20 07:04:00 $50 to Metla if he names it Tardme (http://www.tardme.co.nz/). ;)
There could be several unhappy people if he did that.

I just happen to have a near new computer for sale . Three auctions on trade me and the only response was from people who seem to think that second-hand means almost free .

325487 2005-02-25 23:00:00 well people, we are definitly going ahead with the project, much work has been done and its all starting to come together.

2 weeks time the site will be up and running in a beta stage, where everyone can hammer it to death, then give forth there ideas,opinions,any bug reports.

What is currently under discussion is the amount of time an add will stay live, In my opinion I think a week, then the add is removed and the seller is emailed to tell them if the item is still for sale to relist it, It has been put to me that a month would be better, so have at this stage settled on a 2 week cycle.

Its still open for discussion,but many are bound to disagree no matter what the final decision is.

Colours for the site are being looked at, with blues being the likely choice,and the ability to upload a photo with the listing is in the works.
