I need some help Please

I just purchased 1200 computers from auction for 12 dollars I don't know what to do with them now. Can anyone help

Make a big pile to extend the land mass occupied by the city of New Orleans. Well worth $12.

I swear it's like 40 pallets of 30 computer each , it's a variance of dell optiplex 550 to 755 ima try and upload a picture , but it's just so much and I'm new to this so I need some pointers if possible

Step 1: buy a good screw gun
Step 2: buy a few gaylords
Step 3: research how to separate stuff
Step 4: disassemble everything
Step 5: find a buyer for the stuff
Step 6: hire a couple semi trucks
Step 7: profit

That's quite a load in the pictures. Tell me you are not going to haul them all in your car. 12 bucks is one heck of a deal. Here it would be $1200 bucks the way crazy people bid and that's plus 8.5% sales tax. With scrap so low I was considering switching to e-waste for a while but I have a problem buying scrap unless I know there is a sure fire return on the investment unless maybe it's a car to part out. That is my expertise. I don't know of anyone in my area that buys boards or hard drives. I have heard they can be boxed up and at my expense shipped to a company that can either buy them all. A few or reject the entire load. Not exactly the assurance I was looking for. Good luck with your haul. It's sure to be fun.

Please check to see if there's anything in there that can be sold for better than scrap value BEFORE you start tearing through all of it.

I do not want to cause a controversy here, but... I find it extremely difficult to beleive someone had enough brains to palletize and prepare all that for sale, and then sell it for 12.00. There is something fishy about this post.

It is a little weird that someone would have fished 1200 drives, sticks, and chips but not bothered to take the mobo, turning the rest over to auction. I guess I could understand leaving the fans and heatsinks but those boards are decent value. Maybe not enough for the extra screws. But in for penny, in for a pound, right?

Thanks for all the replies,. Charles I will pm when I get more educated on computers in the threads. In regards to the last picture , that was me taking a computer apart to see how hard it was.it took me 20 min. All computers have all components . It was a school auction with 8 other buyers. I guess I was the only one with the guts to placed a bid. There is no point for me too lie. I am just in unusual situation and wanna make sure I can make some quick money. I already spoke with cash for scrap usa. They told me they would send a freight shipment my way but the would only offer me 1 dollar per unit. Is that worth it ???

$1 per unit is the base price many folks buy computers for ... you will lose quite a bit of money !
Here is a price list from one of the buyers on this forum CLICK ME

You could make a nice chunk of change if you rip all the units apart and separate the parts. You could make even more if some of those units still worked !
