    Welcome to the forum.

    I would put the desktops in a dry safe place for now and start reading the old threads. Some of them or possibly all of them could be sold for better than scrap value. Check out the Buyers and Sellers section also.

    Also, your avatar. Let me guess........Scrappy Doob?

    any idea what specs do most of those Lennovo computers have?
    and do they all work?

    if u know that, then its easy to decide whether u have to strip them & sell for scrap or try and sell them whole.

    obviously, u will make more money by selling them as whole working pc's but u might have to wait a while until theyre sold
    as for scrap- as soon as u strip & separate the stuff and ship them off to a buyer- u know for sure that ur going to get paid

    Well J, I must say I'm impressed. You're here for 1 day and you've already made a bigger contribution to the forum than many who have been here for years.

    You purchased a Scrap Room Membership. CHICKEN DINNER!

    That shows me you're serious about scrapping and you want to learn more. You came to the right right place.

    Post a few more times and you will be able to receive private messages. I believe you have to have 10 posts in order to send or receive PM's.

    I'm sure my comment above will rile some "members" here but water off a ducks back.

    Also, I hope you like goats.

    might get buyers cos ppl still use computers with those specs


    test all units to see which are working 100%
    dont want to sell defective stuff to customers

    check around to see what similar systems are being sold for
    and price yours SLIGHTLY lower

    Also once they are tested you can choose to sell parts from them.

    I assume this is you: LENOVO A58-4277 | eBay

    I would change some of your description. Also can you take a couple of photos and post them here. I and others could help you with your listing. 73, Mike

    Welcome to the forum. Keep on reading the old posts about e-waste and then some. Nice score you got there, I just hope they were cheap. Dual core units are becoming harder to sell whole, if they were I-series, might sell faster. JIMO. Good Luck there J.

    Happy scrapping
