Preface: I work for an insurance company. To recoup some of the cost from paid out cliams, our cliams reps sell the damaged item(s) on a internal auction site. So when your house burns down. That marble sink that was only cosmetically damaged ends up on our site.
Right now there is a computer available that suffered a power surge. It does not power up, beyond that, the amount of damage is unknown.
With a power surge what potential damage are we looking at? Every piece of equipment might be fried? Power supply only?
It is an unknown brand with the following specs: P4 (unknown speed), 256MB ram, unknow HD size, modem, ethernet, video card, DVD, Internal Zip, and floppy.
Weighing risk vs reward, how much would you pay for this?
Any thoughts on how much it is worth and what might or might not be fried would be appreciated?
