    junk computers online

    Found this one last night, had to snatch it up quick. About 6-7 towers, not all complete, 2 laptops, monitors, loose ram and motherboards.
    Computer Junk - Ontario Computer Parts For Sale - Kijiji Ontario Canada.
    nice part the guy only wanted 20 dollars for everything.
    So far found a couple of gold top cpu's. Really like those. So shiny...

    Tried to see if they also had listings in the States. A search for "Kijiji Rochester NY" took me to a Google page with that very same worded link on the page. I clicked the link and wound up on ebay classifieds. What, are they trying to upstage Craigslist or something? I really, really hate ebay!

    That's strange...I used to be able to go the local Indiana Kijiji website (it's been awhile). I tried it just now and as with you, it takes me to eBay classifieds. Well that sucks...

    Maybe back in the day ebay kept it hidden that kijiji is a subsidiary of ebay.

    Looked up the site and saw this sentence:
    Kijiji's owner eBay is also a minority shareholder in Craigslist.
    Ugh!

    ebays mantra is......... if you cant beat em, buy em

    ebays billpoint could not compete with the upstart paypal that we all loved in the beginning......so ebay bought paypal

    blackthorn auction software is another that ebay snagged

    ebay bought skype and some people still dont know why

    there was also a photo hosting company......ipix that ebay bought that made your item photos look worse

    ahhhhh, the good old daze

    Ever since ebay bought paypal, they get you coming, and going, and while you're in there, they get you sideways and every other which way.
