    On this one from Craig's list. I even sent him my price list so hope that gives me the advantage.



    I have a large amount of working computers, computers for parts and individual computer parts.

    Despite attempting to sell them on Craigslist at the lowest prices in the state of Florida, I am unable to find buyers for them.

    So perhaps if I simply give them away they will find new homes and uses.

    This is a large amount of equipment left from 5 years of computer rebuilding. If it has to do with a desktop or laptop computer, I have it.

    As time is a factor, this will all be given to one person. You must arrive with a pickup or panel van or some vehicle that is at least as large as the two vehicles mentioned.

    An assistant to help you load the items would also be helpful as would a large supply of boxes and/or storage containers.

    The two times I answered a craigs list add for a free working refrigerator It turned out to be some kind of a scam and both parties never got back to me. Hope this wasn't the same thing. Both times their reply was something about Sorry it took so long to reply and that they had promised it to some one else first but didn't respond and that they would be home the next few days and off work. I responded again but to no avail. Better Luck next time ParrottHead

    I got up kind of early (for me) to answer an ad for 10 complete old computers for $10.00 and the answer was "sorry but their gone already". There's another one for my P.O.;d list, it keeps getting longer.

    You do have to be very fast for the good deals on Craig's list. Just about like freecycle.
