Looking on eBay, it looks like I'm spending quite a bit more than $100 to get an old thinkpad of this era.

Re:Ask HN: Without Upwork, what's the best way to find clients remotely?
on Thursday February 15, 2018 @03:34PM (#16387374)
I have done this a few times. Do one job on the upwork platform with a given client, then move to working independently. Its an easy sell to a client: "hey, now that you know I am good, lets work without upwork. I can charge you less because upwork won't be getting a cut of your payments."
Re:Ask HN: Without Upwork, what's the best way to find clients remotely?
on Thursday February 15, 2018 @03:33PM (#16387360)
More on this - Toptal does have a much more challenging screening than upwork does. I signed up and had a skype interview with a real human, mostly to make sure my English was good. I then had to take a programming challenge. I think of myself as a reasonably good programmer but I failed the test on my first try.
I haven't taken it a second time yet, but its enough to show that you have to be good to get on their platform.

I don't have any first-hand knowledge. From what I've read, three main sources are: word-of-mouth, stack overflow, and github.
