    Getting more than scrap value from iMacs

    And not in the way you might think.

    I don't know if this link will work, but one of my friends just sent me this link on pinterest:



    Upcycled Repurposed Bondi Blue Apple MacIntosh by ... | Re Purposed

    That has an iMac re-made into a dog bed. There's a segment of the population that will pay BIG bucks for this kinda stuff!!

    Having scrapped a few of these, it is really tough to get the guts out without cracking the case. The extra labor involved in salvaging the case may offset the additional resale value.
