I asked about selling boards on cl before and everybody said not to. I see why now lol. I'm new to trying to sell boards and gold pins but guy replied offering $5 and for what I have that seems offly low. Moral to the story is craigslist offers do suck lol.
Posting pics of what I have soon
Pretty sure they all loaded. I've got a few other odd and ends too. like I said, it's not a lot and I'm new to trying to sell this stuff but seems like it'd be worth a little more
Ill pay $7 if the shipping Is included.
I've gone through the same thing, BigJon. My opinion would be to hold on to it all until you have ten times as much and then find someone who wants it shipped to them. That's the advice I got here on SMF and that's why I now have a 2'x3'x3' tupperware container full of video and sound cards, about 5 lbs of RAM and almost 50 CPUs. Plus now my yard is ripping people off on Motherboards (1.10/lb) so I'm saving those too and have ten already. I'll get at least triple what I would if sold to a yard on everything once I've saved up the minimum weight to ship.
Live and learn my friend. But you still got them, that's main thing. Ditto on what admiral admiral said. Start checking out buyers theards now. More information you have the more you'll make. And hey if that is making buys at what he offered can't hurt to put your own ad on cl once you get a handle on what you can sell them for. Take into account the shipping cost. Lots of research to do. Good thing is, all the information is right here! Good luck.
You can still try , you don't have to accept any offer . It might help if you have weights included so people know what exactly they are getting . I see a guy who wants $80 for a pile of boards on Craig's . 75% of them are low grade , If I offered him the true value he would feel insulted because he thinks they are worth %5000 more than they are .Quote:

Looks like you are off to a good start! Save up the stuff you find and do some reading on the site here and learn about what you have. I reputable buyer is easy to find on SMF!
My suggestion is to either sell em to buyers here on SMF or put em on ebay. CL's only good for buying what others are selling, not the other way around.

Are you a craigslist person? Lol jkQuote:

Thanks! I plan on it. Regret all the boards and connectors I've threw out before starting to save them. Better to learn late than never thoughQuote:

I sell all my mother board's, mid grade, low grade and odd board's local, higher grade, hard drive, finger cards and others I save and ship to a buyer in Cleveland OH. My ram memory and cpu's I list on Ebay and normally get 2 to 3 times as much I would selling by the pound. This has worked for me so far. Good luck.
I guess a few minutes posting is still ok with me cause its not always good but always worth the try and for $1.10lb I would sell all my p4's to save a lot of time
Update: Guy that offered me the $5 for everything in my pics, plus a quite a few gold connectors that weren't pictured has text me 3 times since thursday asking if I still have them lol. Probably a sign there's more than $5 worth there? Could be wrong. Funny how tables turn though cause I told him I was looking into selling them to a company online cause it seemed more profitable and now he wants any info I get on doing it cause he has a lot to get rid of too lol. Thought that was funny
Well let him do his due diligence. Maybe offer to buy what "he" has. Could be a good thing for you.Quote:
