first of all i know i should post some more stuff from the 386 load i got but i have been distracted by ipods, and laptops. Recently i was given several broken ipods to scrap but seeing as how i didnt own an ipod i decided to try to fix one of the touches and i got it working so then i did another and another and another and have had no problem selling them for 50 bucks or better locally. Anyway i may have a source for alot more broken stuff like that from my future brother in law who runs a pawn shop in a large city. I didnt know if there was anyone else on here who was fixing ipods, maybe has a better source for parts, and maybe knows of a buyer for the non repairable parts. And regarding the laptops i have been able to buy several with small problems like needing new batteries, keyboards, lcd display cables, then wiping and reinstalling the OS and have been able to resell them for quite the proffit
