Without knowing how many is there you won't be able to come up with a good estimate. If the back looks anything like the front I'm guessing 40 PC's without hard drives go max of 4$ a piece so $160. Then throw in a few bucks for the misc junk in the boxes.
i'd try getting a good copy of the photo and using a photo editor proggy to lighten it up as far as possible, that might give you a better view. those may well sell far above scrap value
I actually think there's about 60 on that pallet. That's a standard 48"x40" pallet so there's probably a middle stack. The thing is.... I've learned from mistakes, only bid on what you know and see. So be careful. But I would fully agree $4 a piece should be a safe bet. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.
This is just me (but most would agree) - if that was sitting in front of me, I would pay $4/tower all day on those. Like the rest say...play it safe and only bid on what you're darn sure of! Good luck and let us know if you win it!
There's really no substitute to making an in person visual inspection, even asking someone on the phone can get you totally confusing and distorted information
If these are pentium 4 machines with out hard drives and maybe missing memory I would go about $2 ea. The recent downgrade in what my buyer is paying for these mobo's $2 maybe too much. Mike.Quote:

Im with Mike i learned this lesson already. they never sell st the scrap price. Newer the pallet the more people will be bidding to resale.
Around "here" a pallet like that goes for 240-300. Is it worth that to me, hell naw! Prob going to be used to open an internet cafe in a south american country. That will serve that purpose **** good.....hrmm new business idea..
It has 11 days left. If what you say is true then I will be passing on this lot.
Those small form factor computers get really hot so I wouldn't be surprised if some of them aren't blown up inside. A lot of stuff crammed in close together. I got 5 of them off the pallet I bought and I think their all dead.
Well the auction has ended and I did not win it. It went for alot more than I expected. It sold for $361.00.
