scene.market — trade your retro stuff at demoparties
category: general [glöplog]
hey friends! 👋
we just launched scene.market: a community marketplace for trading physical items face to face at demoparties.
what is it?
a simple platform where you can post offers and searches for retro hardware, disks, magazines, merch, and other scene-related stuff. no shipping, no payment processing - just arrange a handoff at the next party.
how it works:
pricing options: free, buy me a drink 🍺, fixed price, trade, or surprise me
upcoming parties synced from demozoo: Revision, Evoke, Assembly, Deadline, Edison, and 30+ more already listed.
the whole thing runs on Go + HTMX + SQLite, and is operated by Computerkunst e.V. - source will be made open soon.
we'd love your feedback. try it out and let us know what you think!

greetings to everyone who still has a box of old hardware in the attic. time to find it a new home. 🖥️

how it works:
- login with your SceneID
- post an offer ("i'm bringing my spare Amiga 500 to Revision") or a search ("looking for a C64 PSU, will be at Evoke")
- pick which demoparties you'll attend
- someone interested? they claim your item, you get their contact details, sort out the rest yourselves

Awesome. Hopefully good stuff gets traded to those who want to use it
Cool idea.
great initiative ^^ I have been asking around for some specific things I'm wanting to get my paws on, so this is great!
I'll have stuff to list soon enough too, I think :)

This is an awesome initiative! Hopefully this will keep prices affordable within demoscene circles.
I'll list a few things later this week as well.
Awesome job! <3

Great idea 🙂
Nice initiative! I organised a small retro/electronics flea market at Edison a couple of times, it was pretty successful in shifting hardware. Keeping it within the scene should mean keeping the scalpers out as well.
cool idea indeed
