    You can probably do pretty well on those locally! I would Craigslist them for $220 OBO and see what offers you get. Just list it as if you have one system to sell, it is nobodies business that you have many. Offer a mouse, keyboard, and (if you have extra) an LCD monitor with it.



    Those PC's on ebay are fetching less than $100 when fees and shipping are considered....you can do MUCH better locally.

    This is probably usually true, but if you have someone with a call center or something like that wanting a bunch of like computers that they can just clone then sometimes a quantity is a good thing.

    Sometimes anyway.

    I am popping my cherry with the refurb thing. I have had a bunch of dealings with a local college kid that makes his extra money by refurbing. I just broke the limit on what I have ever paid for computers. I paid $15 each for these units. They are Pentium D with no hard drive and between the 2 of us we have enough hard drives to get them up and running.

    Can't shoot for the stars with out going out on a limb occasionally.

    Is he a registered refurbisher with Microsoft? I'm looking into this, I have the study guide printed out, to take this test for it, I'm pretty much thinking that it will make me look alot more professional by being registered with Microsoft for refurbishing computers then some dirtball 17 yr old asking about their computers.

    Computer should be refurbishes so that it would work properly and not get slow down because of excess of data files.After the re installation all the bugs that are produced due corrupt files will also be fixed so it is good way to keep it well.

    Anybody ever do any refurbishing to newer computers

    Newer Computer don't need refurbishing as they are newer so they are free from all viruses and unwanted software and their access.So they just need software that maintain their computer in secure form.
