Have a add posted on Craigslist saying that I will pay $4 per complete computer in almost any condition and $2 per each flat screen.

Got the first call today.
Spent $62 and got 9 Apple IBook G4 Laptops and 13 HP LCD monitiors.
Was told that none of the LCD screens worked and that the laptops had not been tested. One of the laptops has a cracked screen, none of them have a battery.

Going to sell it all in smaller lots on Ebay and hopefully get at least $200 back off my $62 investment. Hope for lots more.

More importantly made a good contact. This guy buys all kinds of stuff at auctions and attends multiple auctions every week. I'm working full time 2nd shift and therefore am never able to make it to a auction.

Good luck with it Bob : ) I'd tear one of those Apples down and study the parts. Might find some em selling on ebay. If you've learned to replace capacitors you can probly fix the monitors too ; )

Apple parts typically bring a premium. Make sure to check component prices vs a parts machine...sometime you can fo well with just a small amount of work.

One reminder...make sure to OPEN some desktops to make sure what they say is in there. You dont want to pay $4 and have say no hard drive, ram or cpu.

Good luck and good score!
