How come there isn't an area on here for people who either want to sell a computer or want to buy one?

My PC is working just fine but my Dell Inspiron 8100 is running out of gas. I need to get another laptop. Where do I look on TOTV. I put an ad in "wanted to buy forum" and didn't get one reply .

I have had the same experience with a couple of my posts.

If you look, you had 132 hits so people are looking at it. But then maybe they were just curious as to what Laptop and a Flugelhorn had in common. Since I do not have a laptop to sell that is why I looked.

Actually if you look at the Wanted to Buy thread, there are not too many replies to any of them. Some are still at zero.

Maybe it's just me, but I would NEVER sell my puter to a stranger without removing and destroying the hard-drive.:Screen_of_Death:

:024:At very least you should degauss the hard drive, and no deleting or reformatting are not acceptable alternatives.:Screen_of_Death:

I always though degauss was for the monitor and defrag was for the hard drive. Defrag will move the files around to different sectors and make it hard to recover the data but if the file was contiguous it could still be recovered.

I still have every hard drive I have ever owned and I have done a low level format on them when not in use. I use to have a program that wipes the drive clean and then writes 1's to all the tracks and then over writes that with 0's. I think it does the entire drive 3 times but for the life of me I cannot currently find the program.

A large hammer and a cold chisel will do the trick.:boom:
