Yes, I have asked this in the past, but I am asking it again for a few reasons.



When I first starting reselling hard drives on ebay, I did rather well. Would sell between $20 to $45. Depending on manufacturer and size, and whether IDE or SATA.

However, in the blink of an eye, I have amassed over 100 hard drives (or very close to it!) Desktop and Laptop both! Everything from 20gb to 350gb!

I am trying to decide on the best course of action...which so far, I have down to these options:



  1. Sell individually (the higher ones from 80gb and up). scrap the rest.
  2. sell individually (the higher ones from 80gb and up). Group the rest and sell into lots.
  3. Sell them all into certain size lots.
  4. scrap them all



I am looking to maximize my time and effort really. If I scrap them all or any of them, I can do probably 10 or more every evening in my spare time for a couple of weeks and be done.

If I did resell them, I would of course only do the ones that work...the ones that didnt I would scrap.

I have been doing well on selling ram (about to sell all smaller ram in a good lot on ebay, after I process the stuff I got from today's recycling event), PCI cards, a few heat sinks with fans, and 1 or more motherboards.
