    you really need to check any colored boards...yes many of them or cheaper foreign (granted all board are technically foreign since we don't make them here in the US)....SOME are enthusiast boards (think gaming machines etc) that CAN have some value if the work. Just like SOME video cards are worth far more than scrap if working as well (high end NVIDIA cards for example....Quattro and Firepro cards are worth EVEN MORE)

    you will do OK paying $80 for the 1st set IF you break it down...if those Playstations work, sell them....MORE $$$.

    Some of those boards are low grade boards however (like .10/lb) that I see in your pic. You will be ok, but definitely look at what you get, along with the time to break down and see how much profit you have...you might need to be a bit lower next time...hard to say since I can see all the stuff.



    windows 98 software might be worth a few bucks to someone on Ebay especiallu since it looks like it was unopened with a valid key...ie more than what you get to recycle LOL

    Good 1st shot, but TRY hard to get stuff for free...some of that stuff is worth basically nothing (speakers have VERY little in hem..mostly shred)...same with the gun, remotes (i they work, you might can sell them for $5-10 each on Ebay...depends on model...but even $1 is more then they scrap value), and keyboards etc.

    Work through it and LEARN what makes sense to break down, pay for etc....THIS IS WHERE YOU WILL LEARN MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
    PROFIT is made when you BUY/ACQUIRE NOT when you sell
