Hi, please see the rules around BST. I’m aware though that the alternative listed is still /r/mechmarket on reddit which you may not wish to use. I would suggest asking in relevant community discords like the low-profile keyboards discord or regional ones for where you live as many of these have trading channels.
Yeah, I’m aware that Discord isn’t great either but there really aren’t any other marketplaces for direct trades between users and allowing them here would open the door too easily to scammers. Whilst it’s not like we’d accept liability for bad trades, we’d also not want to foster a community where that’s a common occurrence. So really you want something like a reputation bot, etc. For this like mechmarket has. There just isn’t an open and distributed place where this community exists enough for buyers and sellers to find each other.
It could not be a vendor recommendation question, since no vendors carry the gergoplex and it’s not open source. It’s definitely trying to solicit an aftermarket sale. Which is understandable, but just not something we want to encourage and moderate here.
As I just wrote, I didn’t intend this to be a trade. I wasn’t sure whether Gergoplex was still in production or not, so I was trying to find vendors that might still have PCBs. Haven’t found anything which makes sense since it appears it’s not on production.
This was a poor post on my part. I was looking for a vendor that might still be selling these (not for a private trade like mechmarket). Was also curious about alternatives to the Gergoplex since it’s not longer in production AFAIK. The thumb cluster on it is really unique, so while I know there are similar sizes boards out there I was really looking specifically for this board.
Ah, then disregard. Poorly worded as you say, but okay.
Anyway other than the open source promicro-based homage that broom made (as linked by @[email protected]). Germ is no longer around in the community/Internet so it’s not being made or sold anymore, indeed. It was a closed design so the only hope would be for a clone or something similar.
