Hi There,
I have a local used computer reseller that I am trying to make a deal with to buy his old towers them. Assuming that they are complete (cpu, HD, MB pci cards, memory) would a good price to purchase be $90 per ton.
Does anyone have any experience in doing it this way. I am having a hard time finding enough free computers to gather enough materials to make it worth while to refine a batch.
Factors - I sell the clipped internal wires. The cases, screws, floppy chassis as clean steel. CDroms and Power supplies as dirty steel, aluminium from HDs and Floppies clean, circuit boards.
My problem is I not sure how many machines would be in a ton. I'm guessing a machine is 20 lbs making 100 machines roughly $1 per piece.
Let me know what you guys think.
