I might be a useful and interesting excercise to know what is a reasonable bid to make when one encounters a sealed-bid auction for computer waste such as this real-life example that I pulled from an auction site.
I don't actually plan to bid on this auction; I'm only provided this example as a means for everyone to say what they would bid on this lot if they had the chance. It's a way for us, the escrappers, to gain insight into what the lowest/highest bids might be on a sealed auction such as the one for this list of equipment.
To simplify the game, we are going to assume that everything here is damaged beyond repair--nothing to resell for more than scrap value on CL or eBay.
So, what would be your bid on this lot if you plan to break it down for scrap?
