| Episode 9: Cheap or free electronics! Ever shopped for a computer and realized that you couldn't afford it? Stephen and Thomas discuss legal ways of obtaining electronics cheaply or even at no charge. Show Notes No matter where you search for computers and electronics, always keep in mind that caution is very important. Always ask for a receipt where applicable. If on E-Bay, check the seller's listing. If you're using Craigslist, always meet in a public place where other people are surrounding you. Whenever possible, make sure there is a paper trail. If there is none, create one. E-Bay: Website devoted to selling unwanted items. You can even make a profit depending on what you sell. Craigslist: Free online classifieds can be listed here. This is a great place to obtain computers and electronics. If at a pawn shop, always take a can of air to whatever you buy. You never know where it came from.
