I guess I was the only one with the guts to placed a bid. There is no point for me too lie. I am just in unusual situation and wanna make sure I can make some quick money. I already spoke with cash for scrap usa. They told me they would send a freight shipment my way but the would only offer me 1 dollar per unit. Is that worth it ???
as others have advised you,strip all the computers & laptops
as far as scrap value goes, the RAM & CPUs are worth the most
then the boards.
then open up the power supplies and clip off all the wires- thats a seperate price
remove the copper & aluminium heatsinks inside the power supplies
lastly, u have to strip the all the copper from the heatsinks & keep that seperate.
the remaining aluminium has to be seperated also.
the empty cases go as shred.
the boards, CPUs & RAM must be sold to your
ewaste buyer
( the ones on this forum are among the best).
the wires, copper, aluminium & empty cases should be sold to a scrap metal yard near you.
u should weigh all the different stuff u have so u know the weight & ask around to see which yard offers the best prices.
of course, if any of these systems are working, u would make more money by selling them whole.
irrespective of whether u decide to strip them up or try and sell them whole if theyre working, u will make a very good profit.
either way, theres going to be lots of work involved because u seem to have a LOT of stuff.
wish u all the best.
