SmartBoards

I picked up a few SmartBoards yesterday and have no idea what to do with them. There isn't a whole lot of scrap value in them except for a few high grade boards. However, these sell for $2,500+ brand new, so I'd imagine there's a market for broken ones to be refurbished and sold. Does anyone know of a company that buys broken ones to fix? I really don't want to scrap them out for $5 in boards if I don't have to.

Why are they broken? If are each broken for different reasons, you can switch parts.

just a wild idea here, but what if maybe contact the manufacturer, or maybe the place that marketed them, not asking for resales possibilities, but a place for repairs. If you're lucky this far and find some possibilities, talk to them, and ask if they need any parts ; )

I don't many people are in the same boat as you. I saw 8 of these go at auction for $1 each a couple months ago. No one knows what to use them for i guess.

That's something to look into, but I think most if not all of them have bad boards. Plus, they're all different sizes and one isn't even SmartBoard brand.

That sucks:-l. Were they working? That's probably less than you could scrap them for.

Good idea, but I don't know what I'd do with working ones either. I don't think these are something I could post on Craigslist and sell because the average person has no use for one. I also can't find any used or refurbished buyers for them. I think my only hope is that they need the parts
