Some businesses that repair computers and have companies that use said computers can charge an arm and a leg.
The company that uses said computers, just want it to work, price no object. If they buy 1 or 10, it's all the same.

The person or company that bought those G5's has a purpose for those computers, they are not scraping them.



even if it says "for scrap" there still are parts that they need to keep theirs going.
This is a good point, although many do overpay at auctions. I know in Honduras, old Macs sell in computer stores like our Ipads sell here. There are buyers for these parts--All the more reason to sell internationally on Ebay.

Collecting more buyers is one aspect of my e-business that I have neglected. It would be handy to know what various collectors, buyers, & service providers around you are looking for.
