    Awesome stash! I agree with Scrappy. Why cash in now if you don't have to. I'd hate to be the guy to tell you to wait and the prices continue to drop, but I'm an optimistic..... Imagine if the price went up. Great job, I too am jealous! If you do decide to sell, please let us know the results!

    If you don't mind me asking, who will you be sending your stash to? Why not sell and reinvest the money in more computers while the price is low, you could buy alot of computers with that stash.

    Sounds to me like he already gets every computer he can get his hands on.

    Were cashing in now because we have a few things for the money that we would like to do. Vacation coming up, bills to pay and i want to get the boat fixed and back onto the water.

    I'll start saving again and as long as we dont have things come up ill keep saving. This is saving when i was doing this small scale and on my spare time. We still are small however my wife does this now as her job so we get material faster than we previously did. I should be able to get that many processors in 6-8 months instead of 12.

    They are around 17$ a piece sold to one of our buyers. Or if you take the ebay route around $30.
    Born to think, destine to succeed.

    Ebay = $30 but then factor in $1 listing fee, -%15 ebay cut the -3% paypal cut for a business account. Still come out ontop but add in listing time, going to the post office. And u just about break even.
