Ive seen so many posts here in the past few days like:
-
“Is X a great deal?”
-
“Got X for a steal from ebay for $(n+100)”, where n is the price on r/homelabsales
-
“r610, r710, is it worth $someamount”
Folks, give r/homelabsales a try. Typically the deals there are MUCH better than ebay, helps with waste (personal sellers are more likely to landfill than recycling businesses), and is a good way to support fellow reddit homelabbers. There are also TONS of free stuff all the time, and if you need something, a [W] post can get tons of great tips and offers. Most things are negotiable!
Also: Dell poweredge R_10 and older are NOT worth paying money for. This gen of product is typically scrap metal. If you really want one, someone on homelabsales will probably give it to you for free.
