I've been quiet lately allowing the people of the page to trade without my input. Right now. I feel i need to speak up and out and followers please share tgis!!!!! im asking for a call to arms! Most are aware of the forced GPU shortage by scalpers purchasing limited supplied cards and reselling them for 1000 to 2000 dollars and even re selling their old used cards at astronomical prices $700 for a 5500 xt. 1300 for a 5900xt Its insanity!!!!! One of the reasons this site was made was to combat things… See More
like this! If you have an old card il, even if you cant donate it you im sure could post it at a reasonable price (less than what you paid for it!!!) here and have it purchased. We're Gtribers together we are strong of 1 tribe and we take care of eachother. Dont fall into scalping your brethren. If you can donate then do it. The gold rule guys do on to others as you would have them do on ro you! Its for the love of the game friends and if you need to sell it we all cant afford to donatr we understand sell it for an appropriate amount meaning less than what you initially paid for it and not less than what scalpers are selling em for. we know how much we paid for our cards, and it should be less than what WE PAID!!!!! No one should make more off a used card they paid less for initially. It will save a lot of people heart ache, stress, money, and you can feel gokd knowing you did a good deed! Make sure the people are real gamers via their profile page use the same checks GTribe does. Their pic? Pic of rheir setup etc age of account and amount of posts and friends. Also only 1 card per verified person. Lets do it guys!! Time to gear up, tribe out, and game on!! PLEASE SHARED AND GET YOUR FRIENDS IN ON SAVING THE GPU GAME. LETS MAKE THE SCALPERS WISH THEY MEVER BOUGHT VIDEO CARDS. We can lower the prices by not buying their and taking care of eachother its simple and we are one huge f'n tribe baby!
I wish I could help others on here more right now, but I do always help my immediate freinds and family. They always get my used parts. Freinds will often get my stuff free or near free. My sons PC was built from my left overs, he is 7 and is just starting to appreciate it. I was kind of lucky to get my GPU when I did right before this GPU bubble really started to get bad, around November. I have never seen anything like it before in my life, I remember once upon a time a RAM shortage and also a… See More
HDD shortage, maybe late 00s? I hope to be able to gift others on here one day.

I wish I could help!!!! I was helped!!! I'm still gratefully using that help!!!
Most I could do right now is offer older CPU's and DDR3, not a lot, but some... maybe some laptop DDR3. but shipping one of these full would be too expensive!!
I have some I7-2600, I5-4570, Core 2 Duo E8500, that last one isn't much help, mostly something retro builds would be into. I'm not sure about the laptop memory, HP 2GB PC3 10600 CL9 BPC SODIMM - 572293-B88, they used to make it so they only work on some systems,… See More
and proprietary.
But the best way to hurt the scalpers is to let them sit on the parts. But, sadly, there will be people with tons of disposable income who don't care.

Even if I could have interest, I have ditched all desktop parts (sold everything) and went to the laptop only because the desktop was too big for my desk and I couldn't bring the desktop with me to the student dorm or at the ranch for radio hobby. I have been learning and found out my desire to have the laptop only to have much less hassle.
Also even if you tried to sell the GPU at a sensible price, that GPU, once you sell it to someone, that someone will actually put a higher price and it will be… See More
the same all over unless you sell the GPU to Gtribers.
