TO THE TROLL STALKING THE COMPUTER SEC FLAGGING ADS & MAKING COMMENTS (DO YOU THINK WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS NORMAL)

YOU'VE GOT A PROBLEM AND YOUR SICK,DISTURBED AND DARK MIND IS IN NEED OF HELP! PLEASE BEFORE YOU HARM YOUR FAMILY OR EVEN YOURSELF ... YOUR PROJECTION OF SELF-LOATHING IS BEING PROJECTED ON INNOCENT PEOPLE AND NO DOUBT YOUR FAMILY SUFFERS TREMENDOUSLY AS WELL. YOUR SUCH A SAD LITTLE PERSON AND IT BREAKS MY HEART TO SEE YOU SO BROKEN. GET HELP. BY THE WAY, YOU DO KNOW WHAT A TROLL LOOKS LIKE DON'T YOU ? YOUR HEART LOOKS LIKE A TROLL - UGLY, MISERABLE, DISEASED. YOU POOR BASTARD. SHAKE OFF THAT DARKNESS AND EMBRACE A BIT OF "LIGHT" IN YOUR LIFE.

2 PNY geforce 7900gs DDR3 $300

That about sums it up for me here as well. I expected with the economy in the shitter that I would find a lot of good deals. That is not the case at all. Everyone thinks that their old tech crap are worth their weight in gold. It was much better a couple years ago.

Because it gets sold to your average noobs.

I built my system for $450 (see sig), and sold my piece of shit 2.4 Ghz Xeon desktop for a whopping $250 + 9500GT for $30.

I can usually sell computer related stuff on Craigslist for the same price I paid for it two years ago.

So you enjoy being unethical and ripping people off?
there's nothing unethical about it. if someone pays the advertised price and it is more than what we as computer nerds feel it is worth, no one is getting hurt. cry moar, no one is holding a gun to their head forcing them to buy it.

caveat emptor

If he were misrepresenting what he was selling then I would agree with you. But asking a high price and finding someone who is willing to pay it is a skill and is at the heart of capitalism.

yes craigslisters in san francisco where i live vastly overprice their stuff. they want like 300 for old p4 laptops with win xp. youre better off spending an extra 50 to get a brand new laptop with win7

Every time I look, crap costs as much or more than I would pay for it new (or newer version of it).

Not much computer items listed in SA CL. Usually old, broken, and over priced as well. Houston was a bit better.
