put it on ebay, 9.95 + $10 shipping(if that'll cover it, padding and all should fit in a large flat rate box) and then sit back and see where it goes. Otherwise google the numbers off of it and see what they're worth in completed listings

do you ever fire older computers up to see what they're made of, before you tear them down ? That's about the best(and sometimes only) chance to check things out

I try and make it a habit to fire up an old machine before dismantling. You can in a matter of minutes determine if the hard drive, the RAM, the motherboard, and the CPU as well as cards are all good or not.
I have an old one right now that I fired up and it stated there was no keyboard to it. I finished digging through the load and I do indeed have the old keyboard with the right plug to fire it up again. Have not sone it yet, but once I do, I will know what all works. This particular brand and model have no resale value, but I think the parts will have some value broken down.

I did a search and all I found was the one that you just listed. HAH! Hoping for the best for you.
I would have taken a couple more pictures. One with a dollar bill to show size and mention the weight as well. I would also have checked for sure to see if it will fit in a medium flat rate and shipping could be less for you. Just some helpful advice I hope.

may have posted this before, but bears reiteration. I bought an old IBM PS/2 from a garage sale for $2 and thought of how much I could get for the pieces. Decided to test it first and it worked great. Just sold on ebay a week or so ago for $99 incl. shipping.

Thanks everyone.. parrothead, I just listed shipping by the weight. Guess I should go to post office and get 1 of every shipping box to fit stuff next time, Yes?
Metal Recycling Entrepreneur
yes! I just realized you addressed that to Parrot. Wanted to offer an alternative to 9.95 +$10 shipping = $19.95 with free shipping, just another way to go i guessOriginally Posted by maneddi
Hope it goes well. Did you use all the names and numbers you could fit into your postings title? (that's very important, using every available space to list anything related to that item that someone might possibly use in a search for it or one similar)
Metal Recycling Entrepreneur
Yes I Did. Thanks again Bear.
