I am extremely busy with my day job/business.

However, I really like breaking down PCs for its components. It's fun and makes some $$ as well.

A guy I deal with from time to time told me, he can get me 50-75 PCs and Laptops per week for $2 each.
Now I am leary of his numbers, but heck, even if he brings me 10 a week, that would be fine as well.

I dabbled into Pcs a couple years ago and revisited the issue after talking to this guy earlier this week.

For someone that just does this small scale on the site it seems very overwhelming. Just the differences in MoBos, CPUs etc is ridiculous.

I also likely will not be able to test anything for functionality due to the time it takes and also he likely will just bring me the PCs etc without cables, etc.

I do know how to research some of the better stuff above scrap value and how to sell it. But it seems very time consuming. Also I would rather not deal with anything under $20 value individually as it doesn;t seem worth my while. But i also do not want to ignore too much potential profit.

E.g. I found 3 memory sticks in one PC that i could prob get $12-18 on ebay with free shipping. But really not worth my time doing that.

Also a CPU selling for $13ish w/ free shipping.

Anyhow.... my question is, how would you suggest I handle this?
Just break everything down and sell it by the lbs and let someone else reap the $$?
And just sell the real good stuff individually?

I sell a LOT on ebay, but my minimums are $20 for smalls and $40 for bigger stuff.

It seems counterproductive to add $10-20 items to the mix. But again, it also seems wasteful to just toss those mixed level items in the lbs boxes?

Also I need to say, I am not a very patient person. I won't spend umpteen hours on research to make a few extra bucks.I really am looking at this as a little hobby, cash making opportunity.



Thanks in advance for any input.
