always a bummer when you think of what you paid for it new, isn't it? heh.

Yup, reselling old hardware isn't very profitable. Because it's old and because it's used.

no shit. this isn't my first time dumping off old hardware...i remember selling a computer that cost 1500 in 1987 for $20 at a garage sale.

I gave away a machine that cost me $3000 in 1992.

I stripped down and tossed another one that cost the same in 1995.

well over $10,000 in computers over the years, and in the end, most of them are given away or tossed out..heh...

Yup. I gave a friend of mine two computers worth of spare parts for her birthday.

I'll give you $40 + shipping.

You'll give me $40 for taking that off your hands

LOL!

actually I find giving older computers to relatives is a nice way to retire them.

Give it to charity and write it off for a couple of grand.

my parents ended up with a couple decent rigs like that... then my dad went nuts and blew two grand on a p4 system that's better than my main computer. fucker betrayed me

I wish I lived in the US so I wouldn't have to pay US$300 shipping on piece-of-shit computers which are still so much better than my current computer *grumble*

Maybe a pretty good base start up for a internet browsing PC but you're better off helping a relative: let them pay what it will cost to finish into a full computer.

btw checked ebay for the heck of it and its flooded with overpriced ancient crap

Yeah, I agree. I've given up building PC's for everyone but myself.

Too much hassle.

I stopped talking to relatives that looked gift horses in the mouth.

Whats the conversion rate tho.. was thinking about that today, if a UK fellow wanted it, it would actually still be quite a bit cheaper..

dont sell the seperately. build a new computer out of it for cheap and sell it for more :icon14:

That drives me insane. Luckily I just gave away all my spare shit (including monitors, keyboards, and mice) so I don't have the ability to setup a tech bench anymore.
