    Computers

    So I bought 21 computers for 31.00 at an auction, when I arrived at the location to pick them up the guy just starting bringing them out. The people there helped me load them, and I ended up with 35 computers, 1 server, all the keyboard,cord, mice etc, and 2 tvs for 31.00. I hope they have another auction soon.

    You are going to make off very well considering you bought each computer for less than a dollar each. Nice score!

    The next best thing to the auction is finding organizations that are simply throwing them away. A few years back I discovered that governments and corporations donate their computers to the schools, however, because the schools get new computers, the corporate stuff ends up in the trash.
