Does this inner monologue sound familiar?

• “Wow, Black Friday is here!  I probably have enough VPS systems, but it never looks to look….”
• “OMG, there’s an amazing deal with tons of resources at a cheap price.”
• “I’m sure I’ll find some use for it…or maybe I’ll consolidate a little…what the heck…”
• “Wow, there’s another deal.  I can always cancel…”

…and now you have a dozen VMs, right?

That’s not a bad thing.  I like to try out new hosts and sometimes you find gems that become the bedrock of your LowEndEmpire.

But if you a touch of buyer’s remorse…might I suggest passing them on to others?

I Don’t Want This VPS Any More

LowEndTalk is just the place to dispose of a Black Friday (or any other) extra.  You’ve got a community of VM enthusiasts like yourself who love to snap up deals.  I mean, you did, right?

Feel free to open a thread asking if someone wants to take your VM off your hands.  Typically they pay the remainder of the term, or take over the monthly bill.

But first, be sure to check that the provider allows this.  Not all providers allow transfers, and you can find this in their Terms of Service.  If you can’t find a definitive statement, you should open a ticket and ask if transfers are allowed.  Some providers may charge a fee for this, so you’ll want to have all the info.

Then you can get ready to gorge yourself next Black Friday…

Dread Lord of LowEnd Content at LowEndBox

I'm raindog308, techno polymath and long-time LowEndTalk community Administrator. My technical interests include all things Unix, perl, python, golang, shell scripting, vintage operating systems such as MVS, and relational database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.

I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.

I enjoy writing technical articles here on LowEndBox to help people get more out of their systems. You can find me on LowEndTalk @raindog308
