Everyone pretty much agrees with $5 each for Desktops. but what is a pretty good price per pound amount?
I was thinking 30-35 cents per pound for mostly complete computers.
What is the consensus?

if dealing with an individual price for each is easier for them to understand, if dealing with a yard, price per pound.
watch out on per #, some of the old cases weigh well over 10# alone...
Judging by the different weights of the computers, I'd go .20-.25 lb.Quote:

So ive never broke down and actually figured out how much i am making off each computer, what do you think they are worth if you are paying $5?
I would say 688 is right at .25 cents you would make money even if it is missing something that you didn't notice
I buy them from my yard for .30 per pound complete. It's a bit more than I normally pay, but I am already there emptying my trailer and he has a never ending supply. He also lets me go through and take the ones I want. Everything gets broken down and sold back to him except for the RAM, had drive boards, and processors. This fills in the slower times when I am not getting free stuff.
What about Ac units and pool heaters? Not trying to change the subject but feel it fits here. Thanks
It has been discussed many times, but the general consensuses is that you will make $10.-15.00 per based on how far you tear them down.Quote:
