I’d love to have one of these but they’re not made anymore. Anyone still making / selling them?

    is still /r/mechmarket on reddit which you may not wish to use
    I would suggest asking in relevant community discords

    • using Discord (with its blatant disregard for privacy) is just as problematic (if not more so) as going back to Reddit
    • OP’s request could just as easily be interpreted as asking for vendor recommendation
      • if so, maybe an addendum to the B/S/T rule to indicate people asking need to clarify wording?

      Yeah, I’m aware that Discord isn’t great either but there really aren’t any other marketplaces for direct trades between users and allowing them here would open the door too easily to scammers. Whilst it’s not like we’d accept liability for bad trades, we’d also not want to foster a community where that’s a common occurrence. So really you want something like a reputation bot, etc. For this like mechmarket has. There just isn’t an open and distributed place where this community exists enough for buyers and sellers to find each other.

      It could not be a vendor recommendation question, since no vendors carry the gergoplex and it’s not open source. It’s definitely trying to solicit an aftermarket sale. Which is understandable, but just not something we want to encourage and moderate here.

        As I just wrote, I didn’t intend this to be a trade. I wasn’t sure whether Gergoplex was still in production or not, so I was trying to find vendors that might still have PCBs. Haven’t found anything which makes sense since it appears it’s not on production.
