    'Gaming laptop, only used occasionally. Been sitting around for a while because my kid's got a new hobby. £1,200 no offers. I know what I've got'

    The pictured laptop has a Centrino sticker on it and looks like it's been used to dig a garden

    Same here in México, a lot of people think their dual core Intel from 2011 (and even older than that) is still worth more than +$100USD. Even worse, companies usually want to resell devices to recover some of the cost, so even that option is kind of expensive. I'm waiting for some friends that can buy company devices for cheap so they can resell them to me for cheap too lol

    I wouldn't touch Facebook with a 10' ethernet cable. Haven't heard of kjiji, I'll have to check it out.

    It's essentially Craigslist, but in Canada.

    Craigslist doesn't really have a user base here.

    You're missing out, Facebook marketplace is THE place to buy local secondhand goods for dirt cheap without getting scammed. You do need an account but you don't need to install anything, and the payments are not done through FB
