VOGONS is not a marketplace. However, I want to ask a question about vintage hardware marketplaces, and am hoping this is allowed. (The "VOGONS is not a marketplace" sticky was closed nearly 8 years ago, hence the new thread.)
Background: I have some vintage hardware I'll never use. I would like to sell or give it away to people in the hobby. (If giving away for free, I'd ask they pick up the shipping cost.) I know about the big three typical marketplaces for this kind of thing (ebay, vcfed forum, amibay), but if there is no interest there, are there others that have cropped up since 2011 that I should know about?
The Vintage Computer Festival Midwest event in Illinois every year has a "free pile" that these items will end up in if I find no online interest -- they won't go into the trash, I'm not a monster! -- but I wanted to give the international community first pick.
(BTW, to prevent polluting this thread or my PM inbox, please don't ask me WHAT I'm giving away or trying to grab it first; that's not the point of this thread, and such PMs will be deleted.)
