👋 Welcome to r/usedtechpune! Start here: Posting rules, title formats, and safety tips

Welcome to the community!

This subreddit is built as a dedicated, hype-free space to buy, sell, trade, and price-check used tech, PC builds, laptops, Apple gear, and peripherals locally without courier stress or shipping scams.

📌 Strict Title Formatting
All posts must follow one of these three formats so the feed stays organized:

Selling: ⁠[WTS] [Item Name] [Area/Locality] - ₹Price⁠
(Example: ⁠[WTS] MacBook Air M1 8/256GB [Kothrud] - ₹34,000⁠*)*

Buying: ⁠[WTB] [Item Name] [Area/Locality] - ₹Budget⁠
(Example: ⁠[WTB] RTX 3060 12GB [Hinjawadi] - ₹18,000⁠*)*

Valuation / Advice: ⁠[PC] [Item Name]⁠
(Example: ⁠[PC] iPad Air 5th Gen with Pencil 2⁠*)*

🛡️ Mandatory Trading Rules

1. In-Person (Face-to-Face) Deals Only:
   Never send advance UPI payments, courier deposits, or shipping charges. Always meet in a safe public spot (metro station, café, IT park food court) to inspect the device and complete the transaction.

2. Timestamps Required for Sellers:
   Every ⁠[WTS]⁠ listing must include clear photos of the physical item with a handwritten piece of paper showing your Reddit username and today's date.

3. No "DM for Price":
   Every listing must state a clear asking price. Zero bidding or opaque negotiations in DMs.

4. Verify Devices Thoroughly:
   For laptops and phones, ensure iCloud/Google/MDM accounts are completely removed and the device is factory-reset in person before transferring money.
