Is it worth breaking a hard drive down or sell it complete? Also I am looking for a buyer for the boards if it is worth taking them out. I have around 30 hard drives now. I did take one apart to see what was inside though. I want these gone ASAP. Thanks!!!!!!!

I took apart 19 today and ended up with 1 pound 10 ounces of boards.

So, how much is that worth?Originally Posted by asandahl

Parttimescrapper buys them whole if they are a certain size. You can take the info from the above post and look in the buyers section to see what a pound of boards are worth or scrap them whole to a buyer on here for about a buck a pound or less if it's missing the board.
If you need them gone ASAP...put a whiggle in it and hurry every chance you get.

How much are the boards worth? Who buys them?
|
As several others have mentioned, go to the buyers/sellers section on this very forum and you will find at least 4 or 5 different quotes from buyers around the country.
|
It takes about 12 boards to make a pound and they sell for about $11 a pound to most of us buyers here on the forum. Only you can decide if it worth it or not to tear them apart.

Offers to buy or sell go in that forum not in the general forums. Buy/sell offers will be deleted as yours was. That is why everyone was telling you to go to the Sellers forum.
People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

I just sold a couple of batches of platters on Ebay, got $10.00 for 25 of them. I'll do that all day long.

how do you manage shipping over 20oz for $2 ?
|
|
I'm eating a little on the shipping and the customer is paying the rest, seems to work but just could be a fluke.

OK here is a breakdown for you.
It takes on average 12 boards to make a pound. So thats 12 hard drives at aprox 1.25 pounds each for 15 pounds. Whole these drives would fetch aprox $15 to $17 dollars from one of us buyers here on the forum. Now one pound of boards would fetch around $11 to $12 and the remaining 14 pounds of boardless drives would fetch around $5 to $6. So your profit for removing the boards would be around $1 to $2. Now if you want to sell them whole as possible usable drives and make up to 6 or 7 times that amount check my buyers threads in my signiture for my prices.

I'm sorry....but do you even look for an answer before blurting out questions? I don't mean to sound annoyed but I am...wasting countless threads on the same questions is not only annoying but quite ignorant when everyone says the same thing...USE THE SEARCH BOX IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER...!
And for being a member for over a year...you outta know that by now...I do...
Think for yourself, do your homework, or maybe actually take a couple apart & find out for yourself like everyone else did....... Happy Sunday!

It is a forum. That is what people do. They ask questions and try to get good feedback. You on the other hand are a rude person with nothing better to do than post nasty comments about another persons post. I certainly did not ask for your advice and definitely DO NOT WANT OR NEED IT!!!! Drink another beer, it will make you drive faster.
