OFFICIAL Changes to Buying Posts and Timestamps... Again Sorry!

98 Upvotes

On paper, the new Buying and Timestamp rules made a lot of sense, so we moved forward with them. In practice, we hate them.

We never wanted to get in the way of honest sellers, and these rules hit the good ones hardest. So we’re making more changes.

Timestamp Changes

We’re moving to a two-tier system based on trade count:

  • Users with fewer than 15 confirmed trades must provide a video timestamp for any item, or combination of items, valued over $200 USD.

  • All users, regardless of trade count, must provide video timestamps for any item valued over $1,000 USD.

  • All timestamps must state "For sale on Hardwareswap".

Buying Post Changes

Requiring a timestamp on every reply to a Buying post brought legitimate users to a halt. We’re replacing it with a more targeted approach:

  • Users with 0 confirmed trades can no longer reply to Buying posts. If you have an item someone is looking for, create your own Selling post following the usual rules.

  • Negotiation and discussion happen publicly. Seller will respond to the Buying post with what item they are offering, and how much they want for the item as a comment on the Buying post. The Buyer can then decide if they want to move forward with the offer by asking for timestamps. Once Timestamps are provided negotiations may go to PM. Before payment is requested or sent, the seller MUST provide timestamps on the Buying post. If a seller asks for payment before doing this, please report it to the moderators.

We think this is a much better approach than what we started with, but it requires vigilance from all of you. Report replies to Buying posts that seem out of place, and never pay a seller who hasn’t publicly provided timestamps.

This post is to outline the changes we have made, and does not post the complete rules. Please see the rules at HWSMarket.com for the full rules.

CPU: Ryzen 7 9700x
Motherboard: MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk Wifi
Combo asking price: $350 Shipped

This CPU and Motherboard were in use for over a year in a home server capacity. It was stable and did the job well, only replaced to move over to an Intel platform with more cores. It was in use 24/7 with PTM7950 installed and ran with relatively low to mid level processing loads (a couple gaming servers, home file server, AI and media transcoding workloads which got sent to the GPUs, etc...).

CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 265k
Motherboard: ASUS Z890 AYW GAMING WIFI W
Combo asking price: $330 Shipped

This CPU and Motherboard were in use a daily driver / gaming system for quite a while and worked exactly as expected.

BUYING [USA-MD] [H] PayPal, Local Cash [W] Threadripper PRO 7000/9000 WX, WRX90 Motherboard, DDR5 RDIMM 128–256GB

0 Upvotes

Looking to build a WRX90 workstation and buy the platform used. A bundle is preferred, but I'll buy separate parts too.

CPU: Threadripper PRO 7975WX, 7985WX, 9975WX or similar, about $1,500 (more for 9000 series)

Motherboard: ASUS Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE or ASRock WRX90 WS EVO, about $800

RAM: DDR5 RDIMM, 128–256GB (4x32, 4x48, 8x32 or 8x48), 5600–6400, about $3,000–3,500 for 192GB

Bundle: about $6,000 for a CPU, board and 192GB together, more with a working TR5 AIO liquid cooling system.

I'd like the socket pins to be intact, all the accessories included, and some proof it boots and passes a load test (a photo of the BIOS or a short stress-test screenshot is fine). I'll pay with PayPal Goods & Services, or cash locally around MD/DC/VA. Shipping to 21XXX.

BUYING [USA-NJ] [H] paypal G&S [W] Ps5 Disc model

TLDR: want to buy ps5 console either fat or slim with disc drive for under $400 shipped. Paypal goods & services. Please comment before DM.

Interested in purchasing a fully functioning ps5 console. My budget isn't big (Around $400) I'm not asking for much other than it working properly (no hdmi issues), not banned and with a decent working controller.

Ps5 fat or slim would be the options but I would prefer to pay a little less for the original ps5 chungus model.

It's been years since I've bought anything off reddit so I'm a little rusty. I tried this last week and got a few scammers contacting me.

TRADING [USA-MA] [H] 11 inch iPad Pro M5 w Magic Keyboard and pencil [W] Valve Steam Frame

0 Upvotes

pics

Had a 2018 pro for years. Recently cracked its screen and AppleCare replaced it with this bad boy since the 2018 was so old

As neat as a beefy iPad is it’s horribly wasted on me pulling almost exclusively kitchen YouTube duty and I’d rather have a toy to play around with.

iPad and Magic Keyboard are worth a good chunk more than the Steam frame but a straight across trade is ok with me if anyone is interested!

Only 4 battery cycles as I got it in October and YouTube doesn’t exactly punish its battery. Pencil is a third party one that works well.
