electronics for sale

[fantasmabob.livejournal.com]

Hey Davis Square! I got an iPhone, so I'm finding several of my old electronics redundant these days. They (+others) are for sale behind the cut. I've also got a lot of bric-a-brac that I've been keeping around for projects I'll never do (let's be fair--who doesn't?).

Drop a comment if you want any of it. You can come grab it from my place near Ball Square. Possibly willing to trade for different electronic crap.


Consumer Electronics:

MP3 player (8 GB), $50
http://reviews.cnet.com/mp3-players/creative-zen-mozaic-8gb/4505-6490_7-33183861.html
Comes with all associated cables & software. About 2 years old, the screen has some wear & tear but still completely readable, no big scratches. I love this player, super recommended.

Cell Phone w/ QWERTY, $200
http://reviews.cnet.com/cell-phones/lg-env3-slate-blue/4505-6454_7-33665842.html
Comes with all associated cables & software. Only a couple months old. Verizon. Has two games installed.

MP3 player (1 GB), $10 each
http://reviews.cnet.com/mp3-players/sandisk-sansa-m240-1gb/4505-6490_7-31563923.html

http://reviews.cnet.com/external-hard-drives/western-digital-my-book/4505-3190_7-31793425.html

Desktop RAM (512 MB DDR2 667), $10 each
http://www.pacificgeek.com/product.asp?id=50932
I have two of these.

Thumb Drive (32 GB), $40 each
I have two of these. They're no-name and crappy looking. I've had some trouble w/ data corrupting when I try to fill the whole thing all at once, but no problems at all when using incrementally.



Hobbyist:

FPGA Dev Board, $75
http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?NavPath=2,400,799&Prod=S3BOARD
Comes with both USB->JTAG and parallel->JTAG programmers. 200K gates. Xilinx. Guys, FPGAs are so awesome.

eeePC, 700 series "Surf", blue. $30.
This will run off battery, but there's some problem between the jack and the battery-charging circuit. Won't run off the AC adapter, which I don't have anymore anyway. It's also missing a lot of screws. An enterprising person with more free time than I could surely get it working. The battery works fine, which is why I'm asking $30 for it. I'll put on a fresh install of eeeBuntu before I give it to you.

Crappy old cell phone, free.
The programming interface is bent, so it might not be possible to actually get it activated. But you're welcome to try. The exterior screen is damaged. The battery is still good & charges fine. For the enterprising person, a perfectly good LCD screen and keypad.

Things that came out of a dying laptop, free:
- 2 sticks of 512 MB, DDR 333 ram - (it's possible these are what caused the laptop to fail, I have no way to check)
- 100 GB harddrive, PATA interface. I need to wipe this before I can get rid of it. If you have a setup that can wipe it (i.e. a small form pata enclosure) & will let me borrow said setup to do the wiping, it's yours.
- The laptop itself -- enclosure, mobo, wireless card, lcd screen, dvd burner, power brick. http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/toshiba-satellite-p35-s605/4507-3121_7-31416533.html

Random crap, free:
I've got several mice, cables, interface adapters, video cards with blown caps, power converters, things that seem like they'd make good enclosures. If you're the sort of person who feels like they can always use more electronic crap, please inquire.

If you don't get a buyer for the crappy old cell phone (or the cell with QWERTY, for that matter), please consider donating them to The Network/La Red (http://www.thenetworklared.org) which does anti-domestic violence work in the Boston-area LGBT community. There's a cell phone drop-off box for them in the Wainwright bank on Elm street.

Can I take:

MP3 player (1 GB), $10 each -- silver one

External Harddrive (500 MB), $50
Western Digital, USB connection.

I don't have spare electronics to trade (at least none that actually work) but am happy to give you cash :)

Sure thing! I'm formatting it for you right now. You can come by later tonight, sometime tomorrow, or between 7pm and 10pm on a weekday. I'll send you my address in a private message.

If you can't unload your stuff any other way, perhaps these folks might want some of it.

The 100GB 2.5" drive would be much appreciated so I can fix my own dying laptop. I've got a 2.5" PATA enclosure (USB) that I'd be happy to lend to you for a format. I'd be happy to take the 8GB microSD for $10 too. Thanks in advance.

Sure thing! I'll send you my address in a private message. You can come by later tonight, sometime tomorrow, or between 7pm and 10pm on a weekday. You're welcome to hang out for awkward smalltalk while the drive formats, if one trip is more convenient to you.

Thanks, reply sent.

I'll bid on the FPGA, at the asking price, and make a grab at the breadboards.
Same MIT email addy as my LJ username.

[fantasmabob.livejournal.com]

After digging around a little, I only have one bread board and it's occupied--sorry, I really thought I had a pile of them.

But the FPGA, it is yours! I'll send you my address in a private message. You can come by sometime tomorrow, or between 7pm and 10pm on a weekday.

I'm interested in the eeePC if it's still available.

[fantasmabob.livejournal.com]

Sure thing! I need a day or two to get it in (sort of) working order. I really wasn't expecting anyone to bite!

I'll send you my address in a private message. You can come by between 7pm and 10pm later in the week, or sometime next weekend.

(I see you went to WPI--represent!)
