Here is my 2 cents.
First off most shops don't want to buy used goods. They take a risk on a product that could be near its end of life and has no warranty. New products at least have a warranty. Power supplies in particular are not a highly coveted item and they can ruin a perfectly fine system. From my experience the only ones that have any decent re-sale value must contain several items.
1. Good quality name brand
2. Sata Connectors
3. 500+watts
4. Provide at least 18amps on the 12v rail for the higher end video cards.
Every shop is different but odds are you will not find many willing to take used product. The ones who might be more willing would be your basement type hobbies that build them on the side.
I would take a different approach. Perhaps offer a price list of what you’re willing to pay for each bad item? Or offer your "removal" service for free. Every shop is different and you may have to pound the pavement a lot to get some good "cliental". At the end of the day you need to create win/win scenario for you and your future clients and what works for one client may not work for the next.
