The problem is your gonna have a very hard time unloading that many c2d machines. Anyone thats waited for a computer is getting them right now due to windows 8 coming out and the holiday season sales , so theres alot of older c2d machines hitting the secondary market right now. Even at the give away price of $50 each i still think your going to have a hard time moving them. Maybe on something like that its better to donate than sell? Or you could always go around to the small local computer shops that sell used pcs to see if any of them are interested.

Exactly, I was thinking of this on the way home. Too many to sell without flooding the market and driving the price down. My plan is to head to a flea market while the weather is still nice and try offloading some there along with my collection of drives and parts. Even if I could sell a few of them and use the time to pass out business cards it would be a success in my book.

We only need to sell 2 of them for $100 each to recoup our investment. I dont count labor in stuff like this due to the fact that we are bored young adults looking to expand. We got plenty of time, and even more ambition to succeed.

I agree they are a hard sale anymore.........New computers are so cheap that the used computer market is in the tank.........You can probably sale some on ebay but you have the issue of shipping etc.....The right P4 machines still move for around $50 on Ebay but after fees etc You might clear 40.....Either way its good experience!
