Spring cleaning gadget sale!
Not that anyone should find this surprising, but I have like way, way too many gadgets around the house. Poor Veronica has to wade hip deep in boxes and gear (not that she dislikes it too much) but Spring is upon us and now’s probably as good a time as any to trim some fat and get rid of some excess toys. Seems only fair I should let the readers of my blog get first crack at it before I put this stuff up on Craigslist.
All gadgets should have all their original parts, cabling, packing, and boxes (unless otherwise noted). Almost everything is mint or near-mint. To price them I looked up the going rate on shopping sites and eBay and knocked it down a reasonable bit. I’ll even pay FedEx shipping! If you’re interested or have any questions, please hit me up at contact at ryanablock dawt com. Please, serious offers only. Payment should be made via PayPal or bank/cashier’s check. Onto the gadgets!
Acer TravelMate 3002WTCi - My former mobile Engadget workstation. I already owned four laptops when I got this one, but it was by far my favorite. I love this ultraportable. Really love it (and so does PC Mag). It’s incredibly small, very light (3.2 pounds), and even comes with two batteries. (Using the larger one this thing gets a LOT of run time.) It’s still one of the only devices in its class to actually offer a PCMCIA slot (3G!) and a proper Pentium M (1.7GHz) — no underpowered ULV chips here. It’s also got a 12.1-inch SXGA display, Bluetooth, WiFi, a media reader, 512MB RAM, XP, and a 60GB drive. I’m sorry to see this thing go but I just don’t use it very often anymore. Very light wear, otherwise pristine condition. Asking $1,000.
Pics: here, here, here, here, and here.
Pepper Pad (link) - First gen; I bought it to read eBooks and surf the web around the house, but I never use the thing! Brand new condition, almost never used. Asking $350, OBO. Pic here.
D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router (link) - Got it as a replacement for a bad D-Link router, but by the time I got it I’d already moved on to another type. This thing is sick though, 802.11 MIMO, gigabit Ethernet switch, QoS, everything you need. Plugged it in once to confirm it was working. (It is.) Asking $125.
D-Link DWA-652 802.11n PCMCIA adapter (link) - Goes well with the DIR-655, but can be sold separately. Never opened or used. Asking $75, but will sell together with the router for $190.
Pics: here and here.
MOTOPEBL, unlocked (link) - Matte black, never been used. A gift for being one of Paper’s Beautiful People. Looks ain’t everything though! Asking $125.
Pics: here, here, and here.
TiVo Series2 40 hour (review) - Veronica’s and my TiVo. We ditched our second HD DVR and upgraded to a Series3, so now away our trusty little Series2 goes! Goodbye, friend, we will miss you. Doesn’t include service. Asking $25 (mostly to cover packing/shipping etc.).
Pics: here and here.
Rio Karma (link) - Dead. Jog wheel missing. God I miss this player. Probably salvageable for parts; includes player (what’s left of it), cradle, and adapter — no packaging. Make an offer! Pic here.
I’ll tick these off the list as they get snapped up. Thanks for your interest!
The PEBL is in a T-Mobile box, but do you know if I can use this on Cingular? My RAZR V3 just broke, too late on the warranty, and I’m still under contract…Can I just stick my SIM card in there?
…Sorry I don’t know much about cell phones and carriers ;)

It would have to get it unlocked. I could see about that.

I’m interested in the Tivo. Can you send me an email?

Sorry Adam, looks like someone else got it a minute ago! Will let you know if they choose not to buy it.

[...] We’re cleaning house. This is all personal stuff that we’re getting rid of, and it’s just gonna end up on Craigslist anyhow! [...]

Dude, how can you sell your PepperPad? ;)
Comment by Marc Perton — Monday, May 7, 2007 @ 5:33 am
Ha! Yeah Marc, who would have thought I would actually sell the PepperPad?? Eliot hack a day / Netscape snagged it, I knocked off fitty bucks. Kind-face discount.

Ryan, my offer still stands. You can pay me $350 to take that Pepper Pad from you. ;)
By the way, looks like you might want to lower that PEBL price:

Sorry, Pepper Pad was sold. For money. That I will receive. ;)
As for the PEBL, now it’s worth MORE. Collector’s item. Hm, maybe if I signed the box?

Dang, and if I did get it for my offered price, I was going to ask if you could autograph the box. ;)
