Does SatelliteGuys.US Have a Classifieds Section for Buying and Selling Equipment?

Updated

Yes. SatelliteGuys.US operates a dedicated SatelliteGuys Classifieds forum. The key rule to understand before you use it is that buying and selling are not symmetric: anyone may buy, but only Supporting Pub Members may post items for sale. So if your goal is to list equipment, you need Pub Member status first; if your goal is to find equipment, you can browse and buy without it.

What the Classifieds Forum Is For

The forum sits inside the Pub Members area of the site and is described as a place where supporting members may post their items for sale, while anyone may buy. It is a general marketplace for satellite TV and related technology equipment — the kind of gear discussed elsewhere on the site, such as receivers, dishes, and related hardware.

The forum is active rather than dormant. The site's own forum list shows the Classifieds section with roughly 4K threads and 13.3K posts, and a recent listing example ("WANTED Older iPad") dated Sep 2, 2026.

Who Can Post and Who Can Buy

Action Who is allowed
Post an item for sale Supporting Pub Members only
Buy an item Anyone, including non-members
Browse listings Open to anyone who can view the forum

This split matters for how you plan your use:

  • If you want to sell: you must first become a Supporting Pub Member. The Pub Members area exists to help support the site, remove most ads, and unlock exclusive features, and the ability to post classifieds is one of those member benefits.
  • If you want to buy: you do not need to be a member. You can look through listings and purchase from sellers.

How to Get Started

To buy equipment

  1. Go to the SatelliteGuys.US forums and open the SatelliteGuys Classifieds forum.
  2. Browse the listings for the equipment you want.
  3. Contact the seller through the forum to arrange the purchase.

To sell equipment

  1. Register for a free account if you do not already have one — the site states registration is free.
  2. Become a Supporting Pub Member to unlock posting rights in the Classifieds forum.
  3. Post your item in the Classifieds forum with the details a buyer needs.

Practical Notes Before You Use It

  • Membership is the gate for selling, not for buying. Do not assume you can list an item just because you have a free account.
  • The forum is one part of a larger site. SatelliteGuys.US covers DISH Network, DIRECTV, Free To Air, IPTV, and related technology, so the classifieds audience is people already interested in that equipment — useful if what you are selling is satellite or TV technology gear.
  • Check the current forum for activity and rules. Listing volume and any posting requirements can change, so confirm the latest state of the Classifieds forum before you rely on it for a sale.
