Do you have projects that need a home? Used gear you are ready to part ways with? Tech you have been meaning to sell for two years? Bring it. We are looking for the tech stack that you need out of your basement.
When
Tuesday evening, afterhours. Start time TBD, probably around 6:00 PM.
Where
Hyatt Place Provo, west side conference room
Format
Buy, sell, trade, give away
Signup
Not needed
Bring
Cash as backup

Computers, servers, networking gear, maker equipment, and related electronics. If it is tech and someone else might want it, bring it.

You do not have to bring anything or buy anything. Attending just to judge the rest of us for what we have been holding onto too long is a valid option.

Game Night runs in the same room at the same time, so the karaoke, board games and soldering stations are a few steps away from the tables.

The start time is TBD, probably around 6:00 PM. Watch the schedule and the comms log closer to the conference.

Finding the room #

The conference room on the west side of the Hyatt Place Provo, entered off Freedom Boulevard. The hotels page has the address and the conference rate.

How it works

  • This is a buy, sell, trade, or free giveaway event. Choose your terms and advertise them clearly when you arrive.
  • If you bring it, you must be able to take it home. Anything unsold cannot live at the con, and SAINTCON will not hold leftover items. Space and time are both limited, so plan your transport before you arrive.
  • Everyone accepts different digital payment methods. If you plan to buy, bring cash as a backup.
  • Keep it PG13 and follow the Code of Conduct throughout.
  • Keep it related to computers, servers, networking, maker equipment, and electronics. Nobody wants your treadmill.
  • Use judgement on size. If you are unsure whether something is suitable, bring a printout or a photo instead. Please do not bring a full 8ft rack.

What to bring

Whatever you are sellingCashA way to carry it home

First time at one of these

Come look. There is no pressure to buy anything or bring anything, and browsing is a good way to see what the community builds and collects. Plenty of people turn up empty-handed and leave the same way.

If you came to move hardware

This is the place to offload the server rack that has been gathering dust, or to find something for the home lab at a price nobody outside this room would offer you. Set your terms, say them out loud, and be ready to carry home whatever does not go.
