    Computer Repair Shop in Buford, GA

    Hello all! I joined up with this forum to hopefully figure out an ongoing research that has not produced any reliable results. We have a computer repair shop which takes in a fair amount of recycled laptops and desktops. USUALLY we strip down the computers and reuse what parts we can and horde tons of computer parts we take to a regular old recycling center that gives us cash for the aluminum cases and whatever else we recycled. We tried a few escrap places that you can ship what you have and they pay you after the fact. We have gotten royally ripped off several times.

    Soooo what im trying to find is a buyer near Buford, Georgia or at least IN Georgia that buys laptop and desktop systems and parts. We have a TON of RAM sticks and processors to get rid of but are very reluctant to let it go due to so many scams going on. We can disassemble the computers and strip them down to whatever the buyer needs. I just need a company with a GOOD reputation and obviously good pricing for what we have. This would be a long term deal as we have been in business for 7 years now and dont plan on going anywhere!

    So if anyone has any suggestions please let me know!

    Hey there and welcome from Central NY, I'd like to be the first to apologize for any would-be centers ripping people off. You won't find any of that here. Give the buyer/seller section a look over and see if there's a buyer in there that meet your needs.

    -Matt

    Welcome to the forum. Do some reading and compare prices of our well reviewed buyers. I am certain you will find that shipping to one of our buyers will fit your needs. i live in coastal N.C. and have shipped to several of our buyers and am happy I did.

    I hope you will stick around and share some wisdom on repair and resale of computers. Mike

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    We have tons of reputable buyers on here. Some take all kinds of E-Scrap, and some are specialized.

    We also have a man who can arrange some pretty affordable freight shipping. For me to send to Ohio (I'm in Wyoming), it's less than $0.30 per pound.

    Welcome to the family!
