    buying computers?

    If i were to buy computers (laptops and towers) what do you think would be a fair price to pay if i were just looking to scrap them? what do you guys/gals pay for them?

    I pay $2 for complete laptops, $5 complete desktops and more for servers, money is deducted for missing parts, I remove side panels and heatsinks to make sure EVERYTHING is there. Heatsinks will still screw and lock down without a cpu under them.
    I buy and sell all types of scrap and escrap. I buy specialty and hard to sell escrap. I buy resale items. PM me or contact me at jghilino@hotmail.com
    I AM ACTIVELY BUYING ESCRAP OF ALL TYPES. BOARDS, RAM, CPUS AND MUCH MORE

    I like to pay between $100 and $200 for a computer I plan to scrap.

    Seriously do some homework like the rest of us did. Read old topics as most every question you can think of has probably been answered.

    I had a quick simple question about pricing. I am going to be picking up a computer I know what most people pay for those.

    My question is he also has the old CRT monitor as well he wants me to take, do you deduct for picking that up with the computer? Yes it is just 1 computer and monitor but I was going to be in the area getting other things.

    Thanks
    Tom

    twmart...As long as I can continue to take them to Goodwill after I grab what I want out of there I don't mind taking them as a courtesy.

    I explain about the leaded glass inside and the disposal problem and offer to remove it for them but I don't pay for them. The only time I will pay is if it's going to cost me losing a large lot of towers. I usually can get away with .50 each in that case.
