    need help with pricer per item.

    I have a guy with 20 desktops. 5 laptops and 1 server. I believe I'll still do good at 5 a piece for the desktops . And I quoted 2-3.50 for the laptops. The server. I'll say 5 maybe a dollar or so more. Just wanted to see what you guys think. He says he is the IT guy for a big organization. And said it could be a reoccurring thing.

    I pay $5 a desktop if complete still and deduct $1 for each missing part. Laptops I usually pay $2 each for unless they are dual cores or better than pay more for them. Servers I usually pay $5 per U in size. If they are the stand alone server types that look like large desktops I pay $10 for those usually.

    I pay $4 per tower if complete, $2-3 if incomplete. I pay $1-3 for most laptops, and $5-25 for servers (usually $5 for 1U, $7-8 for 2U $10-15 for 4U etc)

    You should do ok if the desktops are complete also make sure to look for resellable items that the buyers on the forum might have interest in. Good luck either way.
