Some months back, I posted a “feeler/trade” post on the MR Marketplace: Collectibles forum, and today I decided to re-visit that post with a twist on an old idea:
Take the resourcefulness of the WikiPost feature and apply that to a place where our community can easily find, then trade or barter long-discontinued parts to help keep our “obsolete” PowerPC and Early Intel Macs running and out of landfills, boxes, or even shelves!
The new WikiPost is pretty straightforward, and the how-tos within should be, as well.
Access, as with any Marketplace post, comes with the usual requirements set by the MR admin team and is completely out of my hands, but adding items to the WikiPost “bulletin board” is editable by anyone with that access. I’ll try to keep out an eye and make sure things stay in check, but it’s really up to everyone now to try it out and see how helpful it is to find stuff we may have which ordinarily wouldn’t be worth the energy and time to post a whole new thread.
Give it a go and let’s see whether this idea is worth its salt!
