    As noted, shipping whole is definitely an option if you don't want to mess with them. You will find a lot of advice on here that will tell you that everyone's situation is different and only you can decide if it's worth it or not. If the time spent breaking them down could be better spent on a higher profit endeavor, then you should probably just ship whole (or ebay as mentioned). I agree with Matty that its a PITA ...too many screws...and hidden screws...and more screws, but - in my case, as of yet I'm not exactly overwhelmed with them, so after I collect a few and don't have other stuff to do, I grab a beer, turn on the TV and start breaking them apart. It goes pretty quick once you get a rhythm. I FAR prefer PC towers, though - you can crack those and have them completely stripped in no time.

    Just tear down what you have to get a feel for it, read the threads for info on parts & pricing, and go from there. I'm still new to this, but having fun & learning alot.
