My local yard a while back stopped accepting computer fans.

Is there no resale value at all for fans? Iv wondered this for a while... I dont build computers or anything, just rip them apart so I have no idea if they would even sell at all as usable parts. But maybe to someone else for another use? May be worth a test listing on ebay if nobodys done it before. Easy to test them too. .05-.10 each would be a heck of alot better than even motor price. Even just a couple cents each would work out better.

I mean yes they could have a bit resale value, not much, I mean for my main computer I'm soon gonna overclock it, I can do it one of two ways, watercool it or hook up a bunch of fans blowing air in to it to make it really good, so thats the only other use I'd have for the fans. I mean the bigger fans like 120mm, they probably can bring a couple bucks, but also new fans aren't all that expensive aswell.
