ust won my second auction...

This time I bought 20 desktops and about 15 flat screen monitors for $61. Based on the amount I paid for travel on my last trip, I figure I will have about $110 in them, or approximately 2.90 per unit. I think that is pretty good. The only thing not in the units are the hard drive. Hopefully, there isn't a bunch of empty shells in the middle of the pallet... Now, that is about $5.50 per computer, but I also get the 15 flat screen monitors and about 10 old printers. I should wind up pretty good on this load. I have a contact to whom I sell my flat screens. I'm not sure of the size of the screens, but I usually get $10 to $15 a piece for them.



I'll keep you posted and I'll post a pic when I pick them up next Friday.

Ive got to find local auctions!

I'm happy that there are auctions that some of you find computers to make money at scrap value. I have yet to run into one in California where the per unit price is under $20.

Congratulations!

At 20.00 I wouldn't scrap any computer. I would collect them, make pallets, then find an auction house.
