Why is this going for so much? Where is the profit at?

Lot of Computer Equipment - GovDeals.com


4700 bucks for 100 towers, 100 monitors, and 25 laptops and other stuff? How can someone make a profit off this?

I wouldn't pay that much for them personally, but there is profit left in the resale of that equipment.

They all look like old piece of crap ones. I mean if they were newer ones of like the past 5 years then maybe but most of em look like 2006 and below.

If the monitors are flat screen, and everything is working, then value could be up to 10,000. It wouldn't be fun selling all of those individually though. When reselling equipment, detailed onsite inspection is important.

Screw the screens lol. I'd love to get my hands on the towers.

figure some time to reformat and parts. Get 80 working towers, resale at 100-150

Add laptops and monitors

10,000 - 5000 auction, 5k profit

I actually bid on this lot and talked to the guys at the warehouse.....Said mostly CRT's but I didn't have to take them if I didn't want to......Lots of re-sell value there but after my time and labor (its about 6 hours away) I bid up to around 3000...........If it was in my area I might bid more but I have to let that one go
