If we're voting now, then my voice goes to no marketplace. There's so
many other places to sell or trade modules.
Completely other thing is trading self built circuits, sometimes ugly,
on stripboards, non working or unfinished, or even selling used test and
measurement equipment, not to mention selling parts - this is the
essence of DIY. But modules (think eurorack) has very little to do with DIY.
For me synth diy is about making stuff out of nothing, but recently the
definition of any kind of DIY is "buy full kit and watch youtube video
with detailed step by step instructions on how to build it". I have no
problem with that, I do buy kits myself too, but I don't need any social
media and in particular this list to buy them. Like it was said already,
trade/sell eurorack threads might generate enough traffic to discouorage
anyone from reading the list at all.
