A resale market is on our roadmap, but in the meantime we’ve seen the secondary market popping up on our community forum, a subreddit, and our Discord. We definitely agree that it’s beneficial to have an dedicated marketplace for this though, especially as the number of Framework Laptops and upgraded Mainboards continues to increase pretty substantially each year.
- erohead 3y agoMaybe ask Swappa to open a section on their site? I think it's one of the best marketplace platforms these days.
- bogwog 3y agoPersonally, I don't think I'd trust an "official" second hand market. My go to's are usually eBay, Craigslist, and FB marketplace. If framework parts are only being traded on Discord servers and subreddits, it makes me think there just isn't that big of a market for those parts for whatever reason. I don't expect Thinkpad levels of availability, but I've only ever seen one listing for a Framework mainboard on eBay in all the times I've looked. But tbf, the internet is very strange nowadays, and maybe Discord is the new eBay? To be clear, I'm not trying to imply nobody is buying frameworks, just that nobody is reselling them. I upgraded my laptop not too long ago, but I already decided my next one will be a framework. So keep up the good work!
