Went to pick up 11 printers and two CPU's (Dell) from an online auction. Paid $7.26. Another auction winner was there and offered me $50.00 for the CPU's and three printers (HP's). I said, "it's yours".

Money talks. Nice quick turn around.

No part of that sounds like a bad deal. I don't know what kind of machines they were, but my experience with online auctions tells me that is a good deal all day.

Those must have been some nice CPUs. Pentium pro maybe?

The guy who bought them ships them out of the country. That concerns me some. I asked him if he tested them. He said no. I don't think he knew a great deal about them. He did say he was most interested in Dell and HP. He gave me his number if I came across any more. Got the impression he was from the Caribbean.

Hold on a second. I wasn't aware that Dell or HP made CPUs.Originally Posted by Steeltree
But yes, nice quick flip.

I think he's referring to towers. For steeltree, the cpu is the chip clipped to the motherboard.

You'll notice them called "cpu"s a lot in online auctions, they just don't know any better, and who's going to tell them? haha, steeltree probly just picked it up from them ; )

It was two towers. That was how they described them in the auction.....Bear was correct.

So, you got paid $42 to take 8 printers home. That's a good haul, in my book!
