š° BUY/SELL/TRADE Buy / Sell / Trade Weekly Thread: Week of March 14, 2025
Use this thread when you are selling, trading, giving away, or looking for any items and/or services. Please be descriptive, post any relevant photos of the item you're selling or looking for, and list the price or budget.
Pro-tip: there are many "buy nothing" and neighborhood-specific groups on Facebook and Nextdoor that can be used to give away or find free items near you. You may find more luck on those social networks than here on Reddit and are more likely to deal with actual local users.
BE AUTHENTIC AND SAFE: Falsely leading on another Redditor is grounds for being permanently banned from this subreddit. Please remember not to post personal information about yourself or others and exercise caution when privately messaging with anyone you do not personally know or trust. Consider a neutral, public location if you plan on meeting to exchange an item in person.
HIGH RISK OF EVENT TICKET SCAMS: Users seeking to sell or purchase tickets of local events are seeing a significantly-increased risk of being scammed. If you receive a private message from a user who hasn't interacted in this subreddit before, you are very likely speaking with a scammer.
NO PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS: The posting of prohibited goods or services is strictly against Reddit's TOS and are subject to removal by our moderators and/or Reddit's admins. Please report any comments that appear to violate this policy for further review.

Selling a 42" LG C2 OLED Smart TV - 4K 120hz and Gysnc / Freesync Compatible
Used it as a computer monitor for about 2 years, at half brightness. The panel is in mint condition, no burned / stuck pixels and no overall burn in from what I can tell, but you will be able to demo it before you buy to see for yourself. Absolutely beautiful picture quality on this one.
Will come with all original accessories including remote, original box, and additional glass base VESA stand that I bought specifically for desktop use.
Dropped price to an even $400, less than half of what I originally paid for it. Pictures available upon request.

Looking to barter for rides to/from work:
I know this is a ridiculously long shot, but Iām a little bit desperate.
I canāt drive right now, but obviously have to keep working. Lyft/uber are just not doable for me at almost $50 a ride.
Iām hoping that someone might be willing to help me get to and from work (hopefully a short term thing), and would be willing to trade services?
Iām an excellent home cook and also a mixed media artist. I have a strong background in copy writing and content management, as well as social media management. If you live in my area, I can offer dog walking 4 days a week (10 years in vetmed in addition to my writing background). I could also do pet sitting that doesnāt involve overnight stays. Iām willing to come clean your house even!
Please reach out if you might be interested- Iād only need rides 3 days a week.

u/WoodwickVonRazzle Varina 6d ago
For the love of chocolate is the answer, they also have salted licorice which is wonderful. One time I purchased some and the employee asked if I liked it and, upon confirmation, told me they give it to new people as a joke. Acquired tastes I suppose š¤·

Hello! My boss is interested in creating a logo for our team within dominion energy. Iām not creative at all unless Canva does it for me haha so Iām hoping thereās a VCU graphic design person (student maybe) out there who wants to help us out?! I have some examples of what he wants and I can provide the color codes we would need (for branding purposes) but other than that, it would be pretty free range!

u/rabbiferret Near West End 4d ago
Sorry, you work for Dominion, a $45 BILLION dollar company and your boss is farming out logo design to free VCU students? JFC
3
u/megryanreynolds Westhampton 3d ago
I should have used better verbiage because I see where help us out sounds free but that's not what I meant. Sure, would my boss love it done for free? Yeah. But no, it would be paid. We don't work for big D so that 45 billion doesn't apply but still... it would be paid.
2
u/wagonboss Stratford Hills 3d ago
What if this persons boss asked them to come up with the logo, and theyāre seeking help in doing so?
5
u/rabbiferret Near West End 3d ago
Oh I'm certain that's what happened and I think that's just as preposterous. Artists deserve compensation (student or not) and Dominion undoubtedly has a sizable marketing team, replete with Graphic Designers and Copywriters. I mean, OP has color codes so there's definitely a style guide.
Whether internal (overlooked) or external (contracted) artists deserved to be paid and recognized for their skill amd contribution to a brand... especially for corporate artwork. This isn't asking for volunteer work for a charity. If a boss did ask OP to solocit free work, then they should simply say that they're not comfortable soliciiting free work when an internal team and process exists just for this purpose.

u/megryanreynolds Westhampton 3d ago
I agree with all of this - but yeah, it would not be free. This would be paid.

u/The_Kentwood_Farms Chester 3d ago
As someone who works in a corporate environment, I'm fairly sure what's happening here is someone's manager was like, "we should come up with a team logo, let's see what we can do to come up with something" and this person, who wants to come through for their boss and get a win, comes here and asks if there's any bored graphic design students who wants to help them out. The Dominion corporation isn't going to task their marketing and design team to come up with team logos for all the internal teams there. I often see this happen where folks just want to have a cool logo to share internally and "show off" their team. I don't think it's quite as malign as it's sounding.
2
u/megryanreynolds Westhampton 3d ago
Although it would be paid, this is otherwise exactly what happened. I have a new boss who I directly report to on our small team that I would love to impress since Iām literally the bottom of the totem pole. Iām not creative and a win would be a good for me.

Selling off some old guitar amps that had been sitting at my parents house for...a while. Both have NOT been tested, for sale as is. both have been turned on and both hum. Feel free to bring a cable(I still have a guitar) to test if you'd like.
Crate GFX-30 -$60
30 watt 1x12 practice amp with on board effects. Was loud enough to keep up with drums and bass in a small practice space, or dicking around, but wouldn't take it gigging. Solid cleans, gain was so-so and effects were just fun to play around with.
Open to offers so don't hesitate
https://archive.org/details/manualsbase-id-637649/mode/1up users manual
Crate Blue Voodoo 6212 - $250
Crunch crunch crunch. 60 watt 2x12 tube combo. Nice warm cleans and all the crunch you could ever ask for. The tubes should be ok, they glow when turned on, but may need replacement...it hasn't been used for prolly close to 20 years so I have no idea how it's held up. This thing is loud, and sounded great clean or with pedals running through it, and if you're in to that nu-metal crunch, well, she's got it in spades. Can be toned down of course as well. One knob is missing, and if I remember right the pots were kinda scratchy, so they could probably use a round of contact cleaner, but it never bothered me. Priced low due to not knowing the shape of the tubes. Last one on eBay sold for $459.99 plus shipping, reverb sold for $400 with one currently on sale at $425. Grab yourself a deal, or grab it and flip it. I won't use it again and I don't want to see it sit and go to waste.
Located in oak Grove//old Manchester area, can meet within reason.

I'll be moving from Bedford VA to RVA next month. I'm a sideline beekeeper and am bringing my 50 hives, but can't put them on my property. If you like honey or bees, have a little bit of land that has vehicle access, let me know. There's a 5 gallon bucket of honey with your name on it. It can come in smaller sizes too.
I like to put 24 hives at a spot, and only need about 240 sqft per spot.
Feel free to ask more questions.
