Show HN: Low Cost Mini PCs

Yes, should be easy. Would it work if it used the region's ebay marketplace to get results? The following could be added:

  EBAY_AT - Austria (ebay.at)
  EBAY_AU - Australia (ebay.com.au)
  EBAY_BE - Belgium (ebay.com.be)
  EBAY_CA - Canada (ebay.ca)
  EBAY_CH - Switzerland (ebay.ch)
  EBAY_DE - Germany (ebay.de)
  EBAY_ES - Spain (ebay.es)
  EBAY_FR - France (ebay.fr)
  EBAY_GB - Great Britain (ebay.co.uk)
  EBAY_HK - Hong Kong (ebay.com.hk)
  EBAY_IE - Ireland (ebay.ie)
  EBAY_IT - Italy (ebay.it)
  EBAY_NL - Netherlands (ebay.nl)
  EBAY_PL - Poland (ebay.pl)
  EBAY_SG - Singapore (ebay.sg)

As others have said, a filter on item location would be ideal, but the region might also work. Specifically UK/GB for my use case :)

Thanks for putting the site together!

Yes please, this would be very helpful (I’m in Australia).

region can help but Item Location is the important one

yes that'd be great!

and if the price could somehow include the shipping rate to the country, that'd be awesome

ideally you would add regional popular second hand websites too.

I don't know about the USA but in most europe countries ebay is less and less the default place to look for second hand items.

What are some alternative EU sites?

leboncoin.fr in France, subito.it I believe in Italy, in Spain Wallapop.es although wallapop also exist in some of those euro countries, anibis.ch in Switzerland, I am not sure about the rest and I guess they don't have a public api so you would probably have to rely on web scrapping.

+1 for Wallapop in Spain. There's also MilAnuncios, but Wallapop is what people say when they say they want to sell second-hand stuff

I don't think there's an EU-wide site for used items unfortunately. Each country has a couple of local sites.

marktplaats.nl is the big "eBay-like" for the Netherlands.

kleinanzeigen.de for Germany

blocket.se, tori.fi, huuto.net or huutokauppa.fi. I think.

ebay isn't widely used in the EU. Sure the sites exist, but they're just filled with ads, not by listings put up by consumers.

You'd need to support national alternatives, like marktplaats for NL

Re:Show HN: Low Cost Mini PCs by Tepix on Friday August 30, 2024 @03:33AM (#41398508)

It is still widely used in Germany.
