    These county surplus auctions (on-line and in-person) can be a bit rough. In my experience with these, the monitors will most likely be dead. The towers might be stripped shells or mostly full. Depending how old the tower is typically determines if it has a hard drive or not (older yes, newer no in my experience). Ram might be missing, etc. When I bid on a lot like this, the monitors I don't even consider in the pricing. I bid based on the towers and "other stuff" only. I also bid expecting to be missing some stuff in the towers. This is just my opinion but you paid 3 times what you should have. I wouldn't have gone over $3-$4 per tower. Your going to have pick-up costs, time to break down and seperate, shipping out costs, time to run the yard materials out........not to mention the overall market conditions are getting weak. Again, it's just my opinion but no way I go that high on that lot.
