    Hey man! I strip old dusty spider infested computers! And probably for less than minimum wage, by CHOICE, like for fun lol! Maybe Im not competent lol.


    Joking aside, I am sure that the numbers just dont work out most of the time to pay people to do it for you, or else lots of state-side places would be doing it. The reality is unless you can pay workers like $1/day, like you can in much of the world, it probably isnt worth it to hire/pay someone JUST to do computer stripping. However, if its something you have your employess do on downtime, or if you do it, or you let your kids do it for some walking around money, it could be worth it.

    Me, I just like doing it and the recycling aspect of it. Not super concerned about the profitability aspect of it just yet.... but that is probably not the case if you are running a scrap yard.




    Check out the prices on here for whole computers..... that may be your best bet just to keep them moving and not waste a ton of your time..... or send em to me
