    Pretty sure they all loaded. I've got a few other odd and ends too. like I said, it's not a lot and I'm new to trying to sell this stuff but seems like it'd be worth a little more

    I've gone through the same thing, BigJon. My opinion would be to hold on to it all until you have ten times as much and then find someone who wants it shipped to them. That's the advice I got here on SMF and that's why I now have a 2'x3'x3' tupperware container full of video and sound cards, about 5 lbs of RAM and almost 50 CPUs. Plus now my yard is ripping people off on Motherboards (1.10/lb) so I'm saving those too and have ten already. I'll get at least triple what I would if sold to a yard on everything once I've saved up the minimum weight to ship.

    Live and learn my friend. But you still got them, that's main thing. Ditto on what admiral admiral said. Start checking out buyers theards now. More information you have the more you'll make. And hey if that is making buys at what he offered can't hurt to put your own ad on cl once you get a handle on what you can sell them for. Take into account the shipping cost. Lots of research to do. Good thing is, all the information is right here! Good luck.

    You can still try , you don't have to accept any offer . It might help if you have weights included so people know what exactly they are getting . I see a guy who wants $80 for a pile of boards on Craig's . 75% of them are low grade , If I offered him the true value he would feel insulted because he thinks they are worth %5000 more than they are .

    Call me a hopeless optimist but I like to think there are still good deals / offers out there , however to far and few between nowadays .

    Looks like you are off to a good start! Save up the stuff you find and do some reading on the site here and learn about what you have. I reputable buyer is easy to find on SMF!

    My suggestion is to either sell em to buyers here on SMF or put em on ebay. CL's only good for buying what others are selling, not the other way around.

    I'd be happy to get 1.10 a lb at yard I go to lol. They don't take them though. Saving up for a while will probably be the route I take now too. Was probably wishful thinking to think I'd get a really good offer on it on there anyway. Figure it was worth a shot

    Thanks! Yea, the threads are like a goldmine of info lol. Pretty sure I saw a buyer that buys cell phones for $1 or $2 a piece. That's part of why I thought his $5 offer was crap

    I am. Left ad up anyway just to see if any better offers pop up. Craigslist people suck sometimes but occasionally every once in a while it surprises me in a good way
