    I can't (and won't) tell you an exact number but I will tell you how I figured out my buying price(s)

    Strip down a few computers, weigh all of the components, and then figure out how much each component is worth. Then average it out.

    So if each computer grosses (before shipping and other expenses) X, then factor in your expenses.

    Let's say your expenses are Y per computer. X - Y = your net per computer, Z

    Then, find out how much of a margin you are comfortable making per computer. This is something you and only you can decide on. Let's call this one A



    Z (your net per computer) - A (your acceptable profit) = B, your buying price.

    There, I did some algebra for you. Plug in your numbers and have fun.
