    Fastist ebay sale ever and todays computer haul

    I Picked up another load of computers from one of my scrapper connections. I got 12 eMacs and 12 towers. Plus 60 cdrom drives, 3 laptops, 14 hard drives, and 12 monitors. Paid 160 for the whole lot.

    Anyway 2 of the hard drives from another load I got a couple of weeks ago were 250gb sata drives. I put them on ebay with a buy it now for $25 each. They both sold to same person in less than a couple hours.

    I put a total of 12 drives from this lot on ebay today and I havnt torn down the towers yet. If all drives sell for my by it now price I should get $150 just from the hard drives.

    I spent the day testing them and making sure they were good for resale. Lets hope they all sell quickly

    I just saw on the news that hard drives prices are going through the roof, there is a shortage because of flooding in Thailand.

    Sold 9 for $45 with free shipping. They were the pinless processors that don't bring much for scrap. They were selling for about $5-6 each in bulk and mine were of 3 different specs and product numbers so I wanted to make sure they would sell. I also sold a single pinned P4 chip today for $12.50.

    That is pretty sweet. Especially with no pins to get damaged. I have about a half a dozen I just pulled from a batch of towers. I may have to try this. Do you have a link to this sale?
