    Put one together
    save the hard drive
    use the "ghost" program (also kept on flash drive)
    in a matter of a few minutes you copied the hard drive to another one
    KEEP YOUR INITIAL HARDDRIVE AS A MASTER COPY

    If you need flat screens to add to them, find someone to trade flat screen monitors for desk top computers, win win for everybody

    even if you sell at a reduced rate you still come out ahead

    Need hard drives? get ahold of Terry, he will make you a good deal outside of ebay. I have purchased a couple lots from him and never had a problem

    offer trades

    I had one extreme coupon lady trade me a couple hundred dollars in groceries for a nice computer. I had next to nothing into it and she had next to nothing into the groceries



    post in several areas. Our biggest quanity of sales come from Facebook groups, yard sale sites, and similar groups

    offer a warranty for 30 days. if they have a problem with one swap it out

    dont know how to put them together or dont have time? team up with someone. We team up with a guy who puts 5 computers together and he keeps one for himself. This allows us to free up our day to go get more product as stuff is being ready for sale

    if they dont work or dont boot part them out

    I have to say all suggestions are great but this is truely outstanding thanks for complete thought. I know not everyone is comfortable with all you have describe but I can attest to even old scrappers can learn the ins and outs of testing and upgrading computers. I have been actively pursuing this end of the scrap maket and so far it has been alot of work but its starting to show some profit. Mike.
