Campus electronics.

Laptops, monitors, calculators, headphones, buy from a verified student, not a stranger.

Four categories.
All the gear you need.

Laptops & Computers

MacBooks, Windows laptops, iPads. Check the listed specs, ask for battery health percentage, and always test before you pay.

Calculators

TI-Nspire CX, Casio fx-991, and every other model your professor requires. Need it for one course? Rent one for the semester instead of buying new.

Monitors & Peripherals

External monitors, keyboards, mice, webcams, docking stations. Essential for co-op terms, and way cheaper than buying new for 4 months.

Audio & Accessories

Headphones, earbuds, ring lights, microphones, chargers, cables. The small stuff adds up; buying from students keeps the price honest.

What the condition
labels actually mean.

Every Loot listing uses one of these five condition labels, the same ones in the app. If a seller misrepresents the condition, that's a valid dispute.

New

Unused, sealed

Never opened or used. Original packaging. Functionally and cosmetically indistinguishable from retail. Priced accordingly; don't expect a steep discount.

Barely used

Used once or twice. No visible wear, no marks. Works perfectly. May or may not have original packaging. The most desirable secondhand condition.

Good

Minor wear

Normal everyday use: small scuffs, faint scratches. Fully functional with no issues affecting performance. The most common condition on Loot.

Fair

Visible wear

More noticeable cosmetic damage: dents, screen scratches, sticker residue. Still fully functional. Priced to reflect the wear.

Poor

Heavily used

Significant wear, clearly disclosed. Still functional unless otherwise stated. Priced low to match. Good for buyers who care about function over aesthetics.

Five things to do
at the meetup.

01

Turn it on and test everything

Every port, every function. Don't just look at it; use it. Open an app, plug in a cable, test the camera. You have time before you confirm payment.

02

Check battery health on laptops

Anything below 80% is worth negotiating on. On a Mac: Apple menu → About This Mac → System Report → Power. On Windows: run powercfg /batteryreport in Command Prompt.

03

Meet somewhere bright and public

A library study room, a campus café, the student union building. Good lighting so you can see cosmetic condition properly. Public space so both parties feel safe.

04

Pay in-app: you're covered

Every in-app payment is backed by Loot's buyer protection. If the item doesn't work as described, open a dispute within 48 hours and we'll review. Cash deals don't have this protection.

05

Check software licenses

Some software licenses are non-transferable, including Microsoft Office subscriptions, for example, are tied to an account. Confirm whether any bundled software transfers before agreeing to the price.
