Summary

A user bought an unopened Spark device from Craigslist for $4000 to host AI models, after verifying the seller's identity to avoid stolen goods.

I’ve been tempted to get a spark for a few months now but the prices were climbing. A new one can go for anywhere from $5k-$6k. I was lucky enough to be scrolling through Craigslist when I stumbled upon this. The owner won it in a raffle and was trying to unload it quickly while they were in town. Felt sketchy, but glad I jumped on it! Edit: could’ve worded that better. To clarify, I was also concerned it might’ve been stolen so I looked the guy up on LinkedIn to verify he was who he says he was and that it wasn’t stolen before we met up.
