In the Edmonton area and looking to find a good home for hardware you no longer use? Looking for some "new to you" hardware? Have something cool you want to show off? Just want to meet and hang with other technologists in Edmonton?

If you signed up for a table (PIN 3 or 4 ticket) you can show up between 6:30pm to 7:00pm to unload and set up. If you signed up just to browse (PIN 1 or 2) please show up at 7:00pm or later unless you feel like helping us setup.

The buyer and seller are responsible for figuring out payment methods (e-transfer, cash, swap for other hardware, free, etc). All sales are final by default. I recommend sellers or buyers confirm the item works before the sale which might require brining a monitor, computer, and other items not for sale to demo the working item.

There is paid parking close to library and free parking in the neighbourhood if you don't mind walking a block or two. Please read and obey all parking signs.

The Edmonton Strathcona Library is one of the oldest libraries in Alberta which means it looks cool, at least in my option, but has the downside of not being the most accessible. The swap is on the 2nd floor of the library and their are stairs to get into the main door. If you need to use the elevator it is on the side of the building.
