    LOL I hope these work and I can unload them semi-fast. I have the space to store them.

    From the other thread, it was said I can get $8-9 in scrap per so if I scrap them I am probably looking at a $300 profit from just scrapping. I would rather not scrap then, but I can recycle the CRTs so I will do this as a last resort.
    From the ones I took apart, you should do better than 9.00. It's unfortunate that you made the mistake, but I really think you will be fine.

    It it was me:

    1. List them on CL for 15.00 a piece.

    2. Get a good size box.

    3. Start pulling the memory and motherboards, throw them in a box as you go, then send the box right away to a buyer to recoup your money.

    I posted some pictures on just breaking down the computer parts.

    After removing the higher dollar parts, you also have some copper in the monitor part, but I would take the lowest hanging fruit as quick as I could and get my money back.

    Thank you!

    The thing is, I am not in a huge rush. I have 2 months on a 10x10x8 storage locker and I am not using this second. Of course I would like to unload them semi-fast but we shall see. I will need to go through them and pick out the ones that work and scrap the rest
