Freegeek is pretty safe. ;-)

Lots of people buy off craigslist. Quite a few of the "new, in box" machines are bought from loss-leader sales then resold for a profit (eg. NCIX sold about 20 $100 701SD EEEs a few weeks ago, and newegg, woot and elsewhere will occasionally have similar deals). If you do buy off of Craigslist, you should probably show up and make sure that the hardware is all correct for whatever model, that the screen works and it boots etc. etc. etc. Caveat emptor and all that, but if you ensure it works before you buy it then odds are it'll keep working once you get it home/to VHS/wherever. Note that a shrinkwrapped box doesn't necessarily have a working machine inside, as it's not all that hard to get access to a shrinkwrapper.



Cheers,

Shouldn't I be concerned about buying second hand computers on line?

Where would be a good place to look for an inexpensive little laptop for around $200. So I can learn to program my arduino.
