    Hi everyone, Im looking for a place online where people can post for laptops for trade +/- cash. I just got a M14xR2 and dont need my 14r1 anymore. I also really miss my old 11r1 and a few days ago started thinking " I wonder how hard it would be to find a someone with a 11r3 that want to size up?" It may be easier to just eBay mine and buy someone used 11r3 than to find someone to trade, but I would rather do a single transaction and not mess with auctions and what-not. its MAXED-TFO spec-wise and I know the $450 cpu i got would earn me crap more on ebay. id rather give it to someone that will appreciate it.
    I also was wondering how such a transaction would be performed safely?
    I mean would there be some sort of mini-escrow or something? Im sure any such trade site has something in place, im just trying to get a plan of action so i dont keep throwing it on craigslist, lol. any help would be greatly appriciated!
