Alright well I have been resisting the urge to
eBay despite a lot of the good information and advice I have read here but a couple of weeks ago I put a few small things on eBay. I lost a little on shipping (charged 6 bucks and it cost me 8-10) but since it was all free it worked well! Now I think I am ready to start with my bread and butter,
E-Waste. I bought 5 working vintage computers from an estate sale the other day, paid 10$ for the lot of them and all five had 486s (still hoping for that Pentium Pro). I saved these things from that breakdown to try and sell because they looked like they might be worth more than scrap value. Since I'm newer, I don't know what these things things are called so I don't know how to list them. Was hoping ya'll could help...
1st is a motherboard. It has a 486 in it that I am going to include but it looks like it has a slot for another one (should I throw another one in to sweeter the pot?) and 8 sticks of memory in three different sizes. It was an old IBM with only a 5.25 and a hard drive.

The Center Slot
The 8 memory sticks
How would you list this and how much would you start it out? I wanna start it low but not .99
Second is the thing I pulled out of this motherboard. Thought about including it with the motherboard but thought I'd get your advice. It looks like an expansion card or something.
This is another expansion card thing, but not out of this computer, out of a different, slightly newer one.
Any help is appreciated!
As a side note I have decided to use the proceeds of these three auctions to become an official member of SMF for a couple of reasons. Information is worth $$$ in this business and this place is filled with information and also because I am TRULY curious what inside of that members only room...
