That's where I'm going wrong, I'm not scarpering them. I'll bet I'm leaving money on the table.

I think scarpering a PC is making the dust bunnies into gold.

Welcome from NY....any time you can make back 3x what you spent you did well. Did you part everything out or were you able to resell some of the computers?

Definitely check out our buyers, you could have improved your payday by a bunch. Best way is to break down the towers and sell the parts a big box at a time.

Check out of the buyers on here...lots of good ones to choose from and if you want to ship to them many will send you a prepaid label and will deduct the cost of shipping from your payment. Nothing out of pocket. Also there is a buyer in NJ....clr solutions that some of the Jersey people use. Dont know how close he is to you but he has good reviews as well. Avoid thee scrap yards for ewaste as most of them are not going to pay what the buyers on here will.

Any profit over 3% is a good day in my book. I aim to double my money if and when I buy things. As long as you are running in the black you're better off than the day before.

If I can't do 50 % then I don't go out the door.
