Where to sell home automation stuff? (lemmy.world)

Sorry if this goes against the community rules, I haven't included links or descriptions to anything just in case.

I have a few smart switches that I "tasmotified" and an air purifier that I re-flashed for ESPHome. I'm moving overseas and I feel like selling them on craigslist or facebook would be a pain if they end up in the hands of someone that's not into home automation.

I don't know if it would be ok to post them here or if someone knows of a more dedicated community where they would be a good fit. Would appreciate the help.

Sorry for the slow reply. I'm not sure if you're even still trying to sell!
Yes, selling posts might be a little problematic.
As if we let one usual member who happens to be selling something to advertise, I'll probably end up with a modqueue full of adverts from people running a drop-shipping operation, and people saying "but you let that guy do it".

Lets maybe have a little trial: As you've got a sensible reason for selling, I wouldn't object to a one-off post with details, your region, and maybe a link to whatever ebay sale you do.

Thanks for your reply. I managed to sell some of the things already but I agree that it might be a pain to have the group full of selling messages, so for now I’m ok. I did get some good feedback.
