    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    The innards will determine the difference. Back when prices were better out here (Probably around what you have now in most areas- our prices are always lower), I hauled this load in:





    That was all cases, and it yielded $56. You'll get something for the cases, but that isn't where you'll make the money. For 30 machines, you'll have around 3# of RAM if each machine has two sticks. That's about $30-40 there.

    More than scrap value parts may do better, but without knowing what the systems are, we won't know what that avenue might bring.

    You'll make more breaking them down, but it won't be enough to cover the down payment on a second home. There is no way that I would throw them out, though.
