Hi, I am currently trying to sell my collection and old hardware but, other than ebay, I cannot find a good platform. I heard that Facebook has some kind of Marketplace but I am not on Facebook and done plan to. I also read some recommendation in a different thread about "gametz" but it looks like trading only.

What do you do to shrink and expand your hobby?

Vogons doesn't allow selling or links to eBay, but perhaps the mods will simply remove the link and provide alternative suggestions for site that you can sell stuff through.

Thanks a lot. I changed the topic so I do not upset someone.

You can try Amibay. It's a forum which is for buying and selling of used computer hardware. It tends to be a bit Euro-centric in my experience, so if you're outside of Europe it might be a bit more challenging connecting with buyers.

You could also try Craigslist or Kijiji (if you're in Canada).

Not so sure about gaming stuff, but for classic/retro systems and related material,
check out: "Classic Computer" mailing list - you often see things for sale...

Facebook marketplace if you can deal with the format. There are also dozens of hardware and software support and buy/sell groups on Facebook.

Links to Ebay /markedplaces depend on the context. Else it's correct as Trashbytes says, no selling or promoting sales here.

I suggest local retro computer Facebook groups. The interface sucks and you have to have a Facebook account, but there are some deals to be had.
