    Just won my first auction

    So i just won my first auction, a small lot of 7 towers, 1 server, 11 monitors a printer and various other odds and ends, all for 26 bucks and only 45 minutes from my house. Not a bad haul. Now what to do with it.

    Not being a computer tech, should i just break these units down or try selling hem if they work. I dont know if selling them would be worth it, with the possible problems if one didnt work right or broke soon after purchase. Any thoughts?

    You would get at LEAST $50 in scrap. Hell the server alone usually has a lot of goodies in it.

    Just broke down one of the computers from the auction lot, boards and everything will come to approx. $11.14 not including the fans, case or power cable. Will easily make my money back on the 8 i got plus all the other stuff that came in the lot
