Hello fellow Carbonite members!
I am new to the forum. I was led here by a post I made on /r/AskSouthAfrica - everyone seems to think this forum is the best way to safely buy and sell tech in SA.
In short: I live in Somerset West, a small town/suburb of Cape Town. I'm looking to sell a PC along with monitors and peripherals for a fair price, but I don't want to be limited by having no reputation on this forum. I don't want to get scammed either, so having an experienced seller helping me would be beneficial.
How can I go about finding someone to facilitate the sale of my rig? Is there anything I should look out for when dealing with a middle-man/facilitator besides their reputation on this site?
I would be willing to have my hardware tested and to travel to areas around Somerset West, such as Stellenbosch, if necessary. I would prefer not travelling far, though. Are there standardised benchmarks I should be aware of, such as Memtest86?
I'm looking to use PayPal for payment, as it offers solid buyer/seller protection and feels safer than an EFT. Is that acceptable?
Apologies if this is not the correct thread for my post. I can try moving it elsewhere if necessary.
Thanks,
V.
