Good to see some competition, the FlipperZero is very pricey for what it is. Then again, I guess you're paying for the software.

Side note that I learned the hard way; once you buy a Flipper Zero and get bored with it, they are very, very hard to sell. Both eBay and Facebook Marketplace seem to not allow them to be sold, and simply asking around doesn't do much.

I got mine awhile ago, played with it, did what I wanted to do and lost interest as I moved on to other things. So now I have a costly device knocking around in a drawer.

How do people end up selling it? If you are anywhere near NYC I could be interested in yours.

I honestly don't know. I also advertised on a few less regulated forums, but no bites. Not in NYC, but if it makes a difference, I am in the US and shipping is always an option. If we can establish contact outside of HN, I'm willing to work something out.
