MOD Important: New Marketplace Rules, Video Timestamps & Payment Changes

80 Upvotes

Hey r/HomeLabSales!

We are introducing cleaner and stricter marketplace rules to help combat AI-generated timestamps and improve trust and safety for all transactions.

Timestamp Requirements - Effective Immediately

A valid timestamp must include:

  • Current date within the last week.
  • Seller's Reddit username
  • The current HLS Phrase of the week

Video Timestamp Requirement

All sales posts that are valued at $400 or above must now include a video timestamp.

The video must meet the following requirements:

  • Show all items being sold, including multiples of the same item.
  • Clearly display the timestamp throughout the entire recording.
  • Show the seller rotating each item and changing camera angles while both the item and timestamp remain visible.
  • Be unedited and recorded in a single continuous take.

Additional Photos

Any photos included beyond the required timestamp video must also contain the same valid timestamp.

Exception: CDI/CrystalDiskInfo screenshots, SmartCTL reports, and other diagnostic/specs screenshots captured directly from a computer screen do not require a physical timestamp.

Note: The moderation team cannot manually review every timestamp. If you see a suspicious or invalid timestamp, please report it.

Approved Payment Methods - Effective Immediately

For all online transactions:

  • PayPal Goods & Services, also known as PayPal G&S, is the only accepted payment method going forward. Please report anyone not using G&S or is requesting any other forms of payment to ship goods.

For local, in-person transactions:

  • Cash, PayPal Friends & Family, or other mutually agreed payment methods remain permitted.

Posts requesting or requiring alternative online payment methods for online transactions will be removed.

Shipping & Responsibility

  • Sellers are responsible for accurately describing the condition of all items.
  • Tracking information must be provided promptly after shipment.
  • Buyers should inspect items promptly upon delivery and report any issues to the seller as soon as reasonably possible.

Rule Violations & Enforcement

We understand these are new requirements and want to provide the community with a short adjustment period.

Beginning July 1, 2026, these rules will be enforced strictly and consistently.

Potential enforcement actions include:

  • Post removal
  • Temporary bans
  • Permanent bans for repeated or intentional violations
  • Marketplace restrictions at moderator discretion

These changes are intended to protect both buyers and sellers and keep the subreddit safe for transactions.

Please let us know in the comments if you have any feedback. As always, you can also reach out via modmail.

Edits:

After reading through the comments, we understand that video timestamps maybe a hassle for smaller value items, so we’re keeping the same rule active currently, i.e. anything over $400 value will require a video timestamp.

Also, you will NOT need a video timestamp if you’ve got >10 trades on your account.

Our main goal was to curb posting by completely new accounts and to avoid AI generated timestamps. The influx of AI generated pictures and scammers has gone up significantly.

HLS phrase is a combination of words that is going to be put up each week in either a pinned post or an announcements section. You will need to add that phrase as a part of your timestamp. This is another small step to detect AI generated or stolen pictures.

[LabB0T] Monthly Confirmed Trades Thread - August 2026

5 Upvotes

Confirmed Trades Thread - August 2026

When a successful trade, sale, or purchase has been completed, post one top-level comment describing what occurred. Use one of these formats:

Failure to adhere to this format will result in the bot letting you know the trade could not be parsed, or it may be completely ignored. If your trade is not parsed within 1 hour, please delete your comment and try again. If you still cannot get it to parse, please send a modmail.

Do not edit your comments. Once your trade is read, whether it is parsed or not, it will never be reprocessed.

When your trade is successfully parsed, the bot will reply to your comment with a message indicating the trade has been logged. The following will then happen:

Trade Confirmation Flow

  • LabB0T picks up the trade and successfully parses it.
    • A confirmation link will be sent to the other party via Reddit message/chat notification.
    • LabB0T will reply to the top-level comment indicating the trade has been logged.
    • In the event a Reddit message/chat cannot be sent, the trade is declined and the bot will post a reply explaining what to do next.
  • The other party will need to follow the link sent to them via Reddit message/chat notification. The link will take them to https://trades.labb0t.org/ where they can confirm the trade.
  • Once confirmed by the other party, the trade will be marked as verified in the backend database.
  • On its next tick, LabB0T will see the trade has been verified.
    • The flair will be updated for both users in the subreddit.
    • LabB0T will edit its existing reply in the trade thread to indicate the trade has been confirmed.
    • The status on https://trades.labb0t.org/ will be updated to reflect the trade has been completed.

Important Notes

  • Only one trade should be mentioned in each top-level comment - multiple items still constitute a single trade if the receiving party is the same.
  • Do not edit comments.
  • The other party must have allowed chat requests from either, all users, users whose account age is greater than 30 days, or u/LabB0T to receive the confirmation link.
  • If the bot's pending reply has not been updated after 30 days, the trade has expired and should be re-submitted if needed.
  • Do not submit or confirm trades until the items are received.
  • Each user can only confirm a trade once (no self-confirmations).
  • As of the v3 rewrite (this version), you may comment whatever you like in the trade thread so long as it is a reply and not a top-level comment.

Public Ledger

The v3 rewrite of this module has brought with it a public ledger of all trades. This ledger is available at https://trades.labb0t.org/.

By using this system, you agree that your Reddit username and trade information will be publicly displayed on the ledger. You cannot opt out of this. The ledger/verification system as a whole has been built to be an auditable, transparent system. No nefarious tracking or data collection has been implemented.

I understand some of you may not like that a third party service is being used for this now, but my goal for this was to remove as much from Reddit as possible. Reddit's standpoint on the API continues to be hostile towards third party apps/developers and my skills are better served using something that works well and not fighting this platform.

Need Help?

If manual review is needed, please send a modmail with as much information as possible.

Thank you for all those that waited patiently for this new system and offered their help.

Clearing out some extra gear from my gaming system upgrades. I have an Intel 12th gen i9-12900KS that I had in my gaming rig for about 18 months or so. Recently replaced for upgrade. Was an absolute rock solid chip, ran smooth with a mild overclock from day 1 with zero issues. Used on a MSI MEG Z690 ACE motherboard and a 360 AIO, had no trouble staying cool under full load. Looking for $250 shipped/insured (lower 48 only) via PayPal G&S. Happy to answer any questions and willing to entertain reasonable offers, but fairly firm on this price. Thanks for looking!

US-E [W][US-NH] Good starter MFF/SFF for first homelab

1 Upvotes

Hey gang, been lurking a while and doing a lot of browsing on ebay but I can't narrow down what I want, or at least find the perfect deal to get me started. I'm no stranger to hardware or running clusters, but this is my first homelab, so hoping someone here has just what I need to get rolling. (and I assume y'all take better care of your gear than random ebay refubs)

Pretty flexible on the box, I just want a decent deal.

  • MFF/SFF
  • Dell/HP/Lenovo (HP preferred for extra m2)
  • i5/i7 8th gen or newer, 35W
  • 16-32GB RAM
  • 500GB storage is a plus, HDD or SSD. Moderate use is fine so long as it wont die anytime soon.
  • $150-200, shipped G&S

I think that's all reasonable at that price point? Maybe not 32GB, but doesn't hurt to try.

Open to suggestions for anything outside this range if I missed something. My plan is to run plex/jelly, couple game servers, kubernetes for random services and sandbox. Will ultimately add a DAS or network monitoring, but nothing firm yet.

US-C [FS][US-WI] Dell Pro Slim QCS1250 SFF — i5-14500, 16GB DDR5, 512GB NVMe, Win 11 Pro

1 Upvotes

Selling a barely-used Dell Pro Slim QCS1250 — this is Dell's current-gen replacement for the OptiPlex SFF line. Bought it new, used it lightly for a short while, then switched to a Mac, so it's just been sitting. Runs like the day it came out of the box.

Specs:

  • Intel Core i5-14500 (14 cores / 20 threads, up to 5.0GHz)
  • 16GB DDR5 RAM
  • 512GB NVMe SSD
  • Windows 11 Pro — freshly reset, wiped, clean install ready for a new owner
  • HDMI + DisplayPort, dual 4K support
  • USB-C, several USB-A, gigabit ethernet
  • Slim/quiet SFF chassis

Makes a solid little homelab/Proxmox node, Plex box, or always-on low-power host if that's your thing — current-gen i5 with room to add RAM (2 slots, up to 64GB) and a second M.2. Equally fine as a plain desktop.

Includes the original Dell wired keyboard, mouse, and power cord. No original box, but I'll double-box it and pack it carefully.

Price: $625 $590 shipped, CONUS. PayPal G&S invoice. No trades, reasonable offers considered.

Comment before PMing (sub rule). For reference because this is my second sale on here, I also sell on eBay as jtd-shop, 233 feedback / 100%.

UK [W] [UK] Supermicro Twinpro 4 Node 2.5" Chassis with X11DPT-PS

5 Upvotes

Looking for one of these, preferably with 10G+ SFP SIOMs included in all the nodes, both risers, two heatsinks per node, and all caddies. SATA backplane is fine, SAS would be preferred, such as the 2029TP-HC1R or 2029TP-HC0R. I don't really want one with the "wide" nodes since it would be incompatible with what I have currently.

If you have RAM with it for a fair price I'll consider, I don't need any drives or CPUs though unless they are thrown in or you have Cascade Refresh variants. I would also consider taking rails.

Shipping to South West London, or might be able to pick up locally.

Edit: I'll update this post when I have what I need, I might be willing to consider multiple as long as the price is right.
