    All in one computers

    So does anyone buy all in one computers? Would it be of price or laptop prices?

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

    For more than scrap value, they're completely different than laptops. That's not to say that they're a bad price, per say. But, they're a completely different commodity there

    As scrap, they're going to be processed down differently. Some of them use desktop parts like hard drives and memory, and some use laptop parts. A more than scrap value buyer won't care what a hard drive comes out of. But, for scrapping them, shipping a whole assembly wouldn't be feasible. They're either for More than Scrap Value sales, or for teardown to the components

    Check with Mario. I believe he will buy them at monitor pricing. Should be able to remove some goodies before. Best bet is to ask him.
