    Look in the sold section for comparable units. Make certain that the ones you are looking at are the same as you have, little things can make a big difference.

    If you haven't yet, test it out to the best of your ability so you will have some assurance that it will work. Check out the sold section of parts coming from that model item. Selling working parts can be an easier quicker way to sell sometimes. Mike

    I do the same thing. Although I put max ram and HD in them and just sell them without OS. I do not want to turn into tech support either. Also thanks for asking Mike I am so busy I cant see straight. * boxes on the shelf right now waiting to be processed. Cant ever seem to get caught up but hey I am not complaining. Hope all is well with you also.

    Two, perhaps stupid, questions: what makes it a workstation vs a plan old tower, and why was the COA removed? Mike

    I had a similar item. It was an HP workstation. Everything worked, but no OS. I parted it out for over $600. Fans went for $30 each. Heatsink went for 75. motherboard for 150. etc.

    I thought about selling CPU but I decided to leave it whole for a quick flip

    the COA was probably removed and transferred to a newer workstation...they generally can buy licenses in bulk and have different rights than consumer licenses. I would part that puppy out...will sell faster...people looking for full servers generally buy new and the cost to ship the "casing" is a TON....you will probably make more money parting anyways...that is what I do if I can't sell to my local contact that specializes in business computer equip...

    I've never understood why people or companies remove COAs.

    Sometimes on eBay, the old workstations can be worth a pretty penny. You just have to find the right person. 5 years ago, I was selling Pentium III laptops on eBay. Anything's possible!
