50 or so Dell Laptops w/ no HDD's or Memory, what are they worth?

[jw7783]

I just got a call for 50ish Dell laptops, all missing memory and HDD's.
I normally offer $4 a piece for laptops complete but these are missing major components, what would you offer?
He has some power supplies also and some other things and said he could even deliver or we could meet somewhere.
Thanks for any help!

I deduct based on missing parts. I knock a buck off for all major ones. So I'd offer 2 in this case.

Just me, an it works for me.

YMMV

Sirscrapalot - I had quote but I think Hobo stole it.

I was thinking 2 a piece as well, glad to know I was in the ballpark. Especially if I don't have to drive to get them

I would ask for what version of windows they run or a model number from a few and then check ebay. I've put laptops upbin ebay without a charger, memory, or a hd and gotten 100 on some newer models.

Ultimately for you it is worth what you know in terms of the market for each item.

But I would also think about bidding on the safe side and then offering more if you see that itbis worth more. That will help secure you as honest and hopefully win a steady source.

Ya I don't know specific conditions but they sound like they are good just missing those parts. I'll definitely give more if its worth it, but I want a price that is pretty safe, 100 bucks for 50 laptops seems good to me

I don't do ebay so of course if you do JW that could change things.

Not all of us want to deal with rebuilding, or selling on ebay. I don't an do just fine.

I lack the time to list 50 computers, or screw with them more then turning them on. yes yes I'm crazy for not using ebay or rebuilding things.I know. I hear it enough.

At the end of the day, the results speak. Bills paid up, everything in order, an profit was made an tucked away.

Good luck getting them, an making it work for ya. Let us know how it ends going for ya!

Sirscrapalot - Buy low, sell high..not buy fair, sell high. - Someone else for the first part, i added the second.

Sirscrapalot, if you have some ebay worthy items I would be glad to take a look at them and make an offer when I am down that way.
