I'm a web dev, and had never fixed hardware before, but it was so much fun, and I've probably added ~£200 in value from only ~£50 in parts.I now want to have a go buying a faulty device and fixing it up (mainly to learn, and hopefully make a bit of money by flipping it).

Hi HN,

One Item Store let's users create an online store in minutes. You can just get online, sell your stuff, and get paid.

Its aimed at users selling a single item on mass, and want a more professional online presence compared to something like eBay, but don't want the bulk and cost of a full-scale CMS like SquareSpace or Shopify.

This makes it great for just whipping up a page to test out products and ideas.

I built One Item Store as part of my Tiny Projects year long challenge: https://tinyprojects.dev

Hey econcon, I built One Item Store, which solves your exact problem: https://oneitem.store

You can just set up a really simple page, accept payments, and manage orders.

I built a simple example site for your filament: https://oneitem.store/3dfilament

Let me know if you want any more info :)
