They just showed 9 to give you a glimpse as to what they look like.

Sorry guy, must have miss read the description. They are flipping crazy. Only way I would pay that much, if they came fully operable. I would just slap better memory in them, update the drivers and software and sell them individually, but in those conditions, and for less than 100, I don't think so.

You can take a working p4 system. Slap in 1gb of memory, a 80gb hard drive and windows xp and sell it for around $180.

The two 512 ram sticks would cost around $10 each.
The power supply would cost around $12 each
80gb hard drive you can get for $14 to $16

So 9 laptops for $300 would come out to $33.33 add $36 for parts for a total of $69 per laptop that you can now sell for around $150 ($81 profit for each system x 9 = $729)

P.s this is a Processor Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz computer system...it can sell for around $240 here in Dallas any day of the week.

Yeah, like I mentioned, putting the stuff in them to make them operable is a snap, just finding the right buyer, and being able to turn them out quick.

Probably would take a few days, which is no big deal, but I will monitor them and see what happens.

If you sell them for $150 they will fly out the door the same day. You will have shops that will buy them all and turn around and sell them for the $240 or more for each one.

The computers are not all that old an so are worth a good bit of money. Even if you don't sell them whole as a working system you can part them out like crazy but will take more time.

With over a week left I'm guessing these things are going to hit stupid money by the time the hammer drops sucking all potential profit out of them.

Personally i wouldn't touch it with a 10ft pole! Its no deal, a real deal is something that i know for a fact that i can double my money when reselling.

It must be a regional thing because around here I look to get 50-100 for a laptop of that configuration. Anyone can buy a brand new dual core Dell at Walmart for under 300 which drives the value down like crazy. That configuration in a desktop around here brings 75-150.

We are by Mexico...alot of the laptops and desktops end up there...they want to buy as many as they can..cheap. I just wont tell them that for alittle more money they can get a brand new one at wally world.

Flea markets are a great thing =-)....you get them into I HAVE TO BUY NOW and they buy right then and there.
