    here is the best advice to give you...READ READ READ ALL THE OLD ARCHIVE THREADS....in your case there are specific ones for computers (a whole section). I guarantee this will give you a GOOD education. It will get you up to speed very quickly.

    Do THAT, THEN ASK questions or clarification....there are MANY people that will help you here, but you have to do the work 1st.

    PROFIT is made when you BUY/ACQUIRE NOT when you sell

    I'm getting on average 20 to 25 whole computers a week with no out of pocket. I've already accumulated a lot of motherboards aluminum heat sinks, CPUs, ram sticks, and pc cards, over here they will just drop them off, as there is no place around here that buys them. Figured I may be able to make this profitable. lol. But will do some archive reading, thanks for the advice

    1st place to look since you have no buyers...BUYER SECTION....there are several really good ones. I generally use Mario (Ewasted) for many items, however, there are some GREAT buyers otherwise as well. Spend some time there and get some $$$ coming in once you know how to separate items and when to mail in...several buyers will prepay your postage and take it out of the total (and their rates are way better than most peoples rates). If you want to save up and send in larger pallets, there is a guy in there that can help you find the best rates for freight.

    that should get you started....
