Hey all, I could use a hand. I want to get a WiFi Pineapple for legitimate testing and learning, but I can not swing a new unit right now and new stock has been scarce. I have not had much luck finding older models for sale.

If anyone is willing to sell a used unit, or can point me to trusted listings or sellers to check, I would really appreciate it. I am happy to pay a fair price, can use PayPal or whatever payment method you prefer, and I am open to local meetups in the US for a safe exchange. I care about buying from someone reputable, so any seller tips or verification steps would be helpful too.

Also if you have suggestions for inexpensive, functional alternatives or a simple DIY guide to build a Pineapple equivalent from a router, those leads would be great. Thanks in advance for any help or pointers. I am new to this community and would love to learn from folks who know the space.
and if needed, I have a windows pc, debian VM, I just love to tinker with those programs and products. I just don't want to commit to a top of the line $1000 device. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
