[QUOTE= While you think there was "enough meat" left to make a decent profit, I don't think there was ANY profit left if you were going to scrap them. Once you consider gas, time, transportation to a buyer (yourself or shipping) there is NOTHING left. You could easily lose money but at best break even. With 26 P4's you should be looking at 260.00 leaving only 49.00 left - expenses.

Consider yourself luck you didn't win the auction and learn a little bit from it.[/QUOTE]

$210 was my max. My plan was to get some of them working, hold on to them and sell them on ebay or craigslist. 4-5 would have got me around 200-250, which would have paid for the lot. The rest would have been profit. I live 15 minutes from the location, so there really was no other expenses. I've also got my A plus cert, which isn't much, but I can build/swap out some components to beef up a machine. Oh well lesson learned.
