Shipping whole desktop servers

the shipping cost sending them individually will probably not be covered by scrap yeld. IF you can get $300 each on e bay that is the way to go. if you sell all of then in a package freight shipping is the way to go. put them all in a Gylord. 500 lbs in one box should be around .20 per lb

One thing I need to do is find a local business that sells different types of gaylord boxes. The type of area I live in, shouldn't be hard to do, just need to find one.

Well, I contacted my local FedEx store, and they informed me that they cannot package anything over 35lbs. So guess I need another alternative, or package them myself.

At this point, tearing them down and selling the parts is seeming more and more the way to go.

The mother boards and power supplies are basically the 2 biggest things that was making up the $300 value anyways.

I did notice a few servers that sold for $700+ but I will not hold my breathe for all that. I am sure those prices were for brand new servers.

I guess I can try one or 2 and do local pickup only and see how it might go.
