You are looking at a way to lose a LOT of money really quickly. If this guy is in the computer field (which we will all assume because he has 32 laptops for parts) it would make no sense for him to sell laptops that he has the knowledge and parts to fix if they were worth fixing. He would simply fix them and sell them. Because he is not doing this, I feel pretty safe to say most of the laptops are not fixable at a reasonable price or not worth fixing at all. They are scrap. If they are scrap, to make money you need to be in the 2-3 dollar range. You are WAY out of that range.
If you think that you were going to refurbish them and sell them, you are still overpriced at 10.00. Anything below a P4 is going to be a really slow sell. The dual
cores (who knows how many) will sell but only for around 120.00 if they work perfect. A new battery and
A/C adapter will easily run you 50.00. You most likely will need a new hard drive and windows. You could easily price yourself out of the market just buying the minimum to get the dual cores working to sell, IF they are fixable. A P4 is worth less than the dual
core and command a lower price making it even harder to make any money even IF you only had to buy a battery and adapter. You throw some memory and a hard drive in the laptop easily puts you in the red.
