    Since we are sharing info I thought you could reciprocate? Its just a question. Dont think I am going to canada for your servers.

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    I don't quite get the last question, but if it's a repair place, you can assume that they won't usually be complete.

    If you can land a repeat customer, though, it may be worth it to take a lower margin (Not losing money, though).

    Old servers are hard to sell. Maybe you can sell a PSU or the drive caddies, but that would be about it for server-specific parts.

    Of course, RAM and hard drives can be sold if they're tested and working.

    I can't give you a value, because I don't know the completeness of the machines, how much time/labor you'll have into it, the Canadian currency rates, or how buyers in Canada are in volume/price.

    Best of luck!

    I wouldn't quote a price untill you see them for yourself , I rarely arrive to the same lot that is described to me , always ask for pictures as well . People tend to over or under estimate for the most part . Better to go see them for yourself then promise a monetary amount and roll the dice . Good luck !

    Way she goes....Sometimes a bad deal is the best deal. You learn a lesson from it and never repeat it.
