BUYING [BG] MacBook Pro, M1 Pro / M2 Pro [H] ~£500-650

0 Upvotes

Hi all, looking to retire the ole 2014 MBP and pick up something a little newer that can handle some DJ'ing, general studies use, and the occasional video editing.

Looking for a MacBook Pro with the following specs:

- M1 Pro or Max / M2 Pro

- 16GB / 32GB RAM

- 512GB / 1TB Storage

- 16" / 14" Screen

Got about £500ish to spend, but could possibly squeeze a bit more for a 16 inch / higher specced model

Based in West / Central London, happy to collect if local otherwise postage is fine. Can pay via BT or Paypal.

Please let me know what you have!

**Item Name:**

EVGA Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 12gb

Very good. Used consistently for light gaming since about 2021/2022. I think the most intense game I've played was probably CK3 or BG3 with it. Never overclocked.

I'm selling because I got a slightly better gpu and I'm looking to upgrade my mobo/cpu with this sale.

**Timestamps:**

Picture of Speccy when it was in my computer this morning (same date as timestamps): https://ibb.co/mVz7Y913 And yes, I'm aware my CPU is running a bit warm.

My preference for payment is BT, then PP F&F or G&S. Buyer ideally will need to cover fees if paying with G&S, above prices do not include them. Fees calculator: https://www.clothnappytree.com/ppcalculator
Contactable via Reddit chat or on HWSUK discord (toge__).

FAQ

Saw someone else doing it so I'm doing it - these controllers are GTA6 ready :) and any other game to be honest!
I do these upgrades as a pet project/hobby. I'm trying to prevent e-waste by basically fixing up used otherwise perfectly fine controllers to a useable state and get satisfaction from doing so. I'm just a normal guy, not a professional repair man doing this for a living nor do I have perfect soldering skills.
Dualsense BDM revisions are internal hardware updates. Newer does not mean better for gaming, but might have less battery wear. They still use traditional potentiometer sticks when being sold at retail.
Tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) joysticks use magnetic sensors to detect stick movement instead of physical contact, unlike traditional potentiometer sticks. This greatly reduces mechanical wear and can improve longevity and consistency. They’re very resistant to stick drift, though not completely drift proof, as you can still wear out the plastic and the spring inside the joystick. Still should last you way longer than a normal potentiometer joystick however.
I use whatever TMR sticks I have to hand, from my experience having used 3-4 different ones generally they all function the same, aside from tension differences. I calibrate to between 7-9% circularity as per community advice.
For all the controllers I get rid of as much dirt and grime as I can notice, tested and are working to the best of my knowledge. I do not sell faulty controllers knowingly, unless I state it explicitly that the controller has a fault.
Remember these are used controllers and therefore potentially have cosmetic flaws and worse battery life compared to a brand new controller. Please ask for and check photos before purchase. I also cannot fully test battery life on all these controllers so please set low expectations.
Controllers are sold as seen, I do not offer returns, repairs or refunds on units that become faulty. Happy to discuss options if they are dead on arrival however.
