    Yeah depending on the model I would go $20 each...If they are the old blue clamshell type $4-5 is the max.......For OptiPlex 745 or 755 $20 is a good price.....I cannot fathom them auctioning them off one at a time..........Wait until the end and you might get some for next to nothing

    At the CA surplus auction, they do second item auctions on PCs. The winning bidder can buy one, all, or any number in between. This helps the auction move along faster while maximizing their profit.

    Good point. A few years ago the county library had an auction and I watched computer after computer go for way more than they were worth. At the conclusion there was still a stack of old Compaq boxes and everybody else had gone home or spent all their money. I bid three bucks and the guy says "three bucks apiece" and I go "no, three bucks for the lot. Thats more than the're worth" and he kinda sighs and goes "Aw, com'on" but I got 'em for about 30 cents each. Just now scrapped them. I don't see how anyone can pay much more than that if they are scrapping the box. What am I missing?
