Do spare used computer parts sell easily at college?

[nater]

I'll be heading off to college in the fall and after building/consolidating my college pc, I'll have some extra hard drives, a cd burner, and maybe a full system. Have you guys found it is east to sell parts at school? Or should I just go ahead and FS/T them?

Not at Purdue. Everyone here lowballs like no other. Some guy offered me $100 for my 15" Dell LCD that I was asking $200 for. The next guy offered me $125.

I'm going to Wabash so I figured there might be some kids with money that will buy it up...I don't know

it's pretty painless to put up an ad in the FS/T forums.

college students are too cheap. better to gouge people on ebay or something.

Besides, Students going back to school are not going to be in the market for just parts. The ones that might already have done what you did (peiced together a computer) by now. The others have mommy and daddy buying them Dells. Just sell off on FS/FT or Ebay it. You will get a quicker resolution anyway.

If you have a car sell it thru ebay and drive to the post office/Mail Boxes etc. to drop off your packages. I had a bunch of hardware I needed to get rid of and everyone at my dorms wanted to buy my parts 1/2 or less of their value. (ex. my 60gb hdd used for 2 months for $25, WTF). Ebay is the way to go in most cases if your hardware is not super out of date (>1 year old).
