    Any Alternative to Ebay/Craigslist for Older Parts?

    As the title says...looking for somewhere, anywhere that I can find some older parts besides these two. Not that I have anything against them, but the particular part I'm searching for can't be found on either. Not for a reasonable price anyway. That part being an HD Radeon 6990. I used to see a lot of them on ebay going for about $120 and now that I actually have an interest in buying one...they all go poof except for that $750 one.

    So, any other suggestions on where to look?

    Check out the Let it Go or Offer Up apps.

    Also see what Amazon has.

    Thanks for the responses guys but, I actually did end up finding what I was looking for on Craigslist (messaged sellers out of my state). Amazon, letgo and offerup were all dead ends. But, I finally landed my white whale of GPUs, Radeon 6990. Yeah it's old, but I have my reasons for wanting it :P

    I gotta ask.

    A) How much would you pay for it
    B) Willing to share what its for ?

    I ended up paying $150 for it. My budget for the card was around $100 to $150. The only one that was on ebay before was $750...that's waaaaaaay over the usual price they go for.

    As for what it's for, just doing a video comparing some old GPUs to the newer budget cards. I'm kind of doing it because some kids who follow me on twitter were shit talking the 780ti and now I've gone kind of overboard with the video idea LOL. It gives me an excuse to buy and appreciate old hardware though. So far I've got the 780ti ($160), the GTX 590 ($100) and the Radeon 5970 ($60) with the 6990 on the way. I've still got a few more old timers to add to this list.

    The 780ti isn't that old and is still a respectable budget card imo. Why would anyone shit talk that card

    Kids these days man LOL. Seriously, some of my twitter followers who are way into PC gaming are just high school kids. All they know is the Nvidia 900 and 10 series cards. So they talk shit on what came before. I guess you could say that this video will be for educational purposes.
