Scenario: Someone calls you and says they have four computers they want to get rid of and asks how much you will buy them for.

Do you proceed to ask
1) Do they work?
2) What models are they?
3) Is there anything missing?

What else?

1) When you arrive at their house do you open the computers and inspect them?\



I ask this because I purchased four computers today for $3 bucks each and decided to part one out and weigh each piece to see about how much I made. By my calculations, this particular PC had about $9 to $10 total scrap value (it was missing a hard drive and it was a cheap processor) but the others seem to be on the $13-$16 range.

2) What better way of pricing would you suggest?
