Items for sale/trade ok?

I took a quick look and did not notice any specific rules regarding posting items for sale on this forum but thought that common courtesy demands that I get an OK before putting anything on for sale.

I should mention that I am an Arduino Newbie and love the forum. I have not posted much as of yet because I have not had too much to post about. Anyway, I came across a bunch of surplus components etc that I thought that many people on this board might be able to make use of.

It would be an opportunity for me to be able to finance some xbees or wiport stuff to expand my fun/learning with arduino. Most importantly, I would not intend on making lots of posts with stuff for sale most likely a post or two with what I have to see if there is any interest. Again, I am not a dealer or other commercial enterprise. Just looking to finance my learning experience.

I look forward to your responses!

Thank you!

people pop up threads in the bar sport forum about this topic, but I dont think anyone has had much luck

Why don't you start by posting a list of things for sale.

I may just buy some if the prices are good and you're in the USA :).

Some people have suggested a specific subform be made for this very purpose, but so far that hasn't happened :P.

I will play it by ear for now and see how things go. Since it was asked directly, I will respond with one of the things that I have for sale; 5V 10A Power supplies as shown in the following ebay listing

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260536130508&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

I have 10 or 12 of these of which I will be keeping 1 or 2. Seem like a natural for powering arduino based projects on the bench or even to power up a breadboard. I am interested to see how these do on ebay but will give preference to buyers on this board if there is any interest.

I also have a bunch of IC's that I am still sorting through.

Also have a good deal of 7908 & 7912 3 terminal voltage regulators 8v and 12 v respectively.

Still putting the list together but wanted to know if this would be a good place to post some of them.

Please PM Me if you have any interest. Will look at putting a more exhaustive list together soon.

Thanks!

P.S. I am located in the North Eastern part of the US

Your 5V, 10A supply listing on E-bay looks to be a great deal to me. I presently have all the PS I need but can vouch that your $10 buy it now offer is a lot of watts for the bucks :wink:

Yeah looks good to me too but I am currently using a coverted computer PSU with 35A at 5V! :smiley:

I did make a suggestion about a for sale/wanted forum section but no success on that yet :stuck_out_tongue:

I agree that some sort of 'trading post' would be a good thing.

I can also understand that the administrators may be reluctant to implement it due to liability, and other issues (such as it devolving into large amounts of SPAM).

I think that the best solution would be a third party with no economic interest in any particular vendor to set up such a trading post.

In the absence of that, Bar Sport seems like the place to go.

Bring on my website. :wink: Soon. I am waiting to hear back about the domain name registation for it. If I don't hear anything soon then I will be doing it myself so it shouldn't be long.

I was also thinking of using YaBB for the 'forum'. Anyone see any disadvantages of it or know of a better free alternative?
