The video is supposed t be funny because, IMO at least, the guy in the video is poking fun at 75% of the kids who own these cars. The same ones who actually do say shit like this. IE the rocket bunny and talking smack about other cars. He totally missed out on vape though. The guys skyline video is much better. |

Well, after using reddit for multiple for sale posts, I think I've had someone do me in for using that platform for selling.
Trying to sell a Sandisk X300 256gb SSD. I'm asking $70 for it. Guy messages me, and asks "hey, if I pick it up, will you go down in price?" I say "Sure, I can do $60 on it". He replies with "It's an SSD from 2014, I'll have to get back to you." Now what I'm wondering, is just how skint are some of the people who are buying used computer parts, that they seriously have to question spending $60 bucks on a 256gb SSD? The cheapest brand new SSD of comparable capacity, is over 100 bucks (Thanks Newegg and Amazon) how do you need to consider an SSD with just over 2100 hours of use? That means it has less than 100 days of on time. You're saving 40% on the SSD I'm selling compared to brand new. How does that even take consideration? |

It's annoying when people are cheap.

Yeah, and it's not worth the fees to use ebay. I have a spare 240GB Sandisk that I don't know where to sell. I hate using craigslist but may go to that in another few months |

If I was in the market for an SSD of this capacity, I'd jump right on that deal. Hell, even if it only lasts me a few months, it was sixty bucks. I can afford to replace it. |

Am I the only one paranoid enough I won't sell used storage?

I use it till it crashes then destroy it with a hammer personally. the one I'm selling is brand new Quote:
I really don't know. Not much into used computer parts but 50-75% of retail seems pretty fair. Maybe because SSD have a shelf life to some it isn't worth much to risk. I don't even know but are their ways to prove how many hours its been under use? |

It was just an OS drive. I guess really, for how much trouble I've had trying to sell it, it's not worth it, so I don't need to worry.

In that case I feel like people just like to lowball because they can. |
