PC Bang / Internet Cafe going out of business? My friend owns a pc bang. Last Year he had 11 similar spec machines(Athlon 900, 256 MB RAM, Geforce 2 MX, etc) and sold them each for $600 - $700 to his customers. He waited and just recently bought parts with that money. Now the machines are upgraded to (Athlon XP, Geforce 3 Ti200, etc / quite an improvement). If you are a pc bang, why not try to sell to your customers?

Just a random suggestion, but I would try to target local small businesses with old PCs and a limited budget to upgrade. Package in support, training and limited consulting. Obviously you need a network of contacts to pull that off.

agreed, although you might need to give them a few years of warranty or support.

Pawn shops or do it one by one locally.

You don't want to deal with ~$50 shipping to ship them separately here and there.

If you sell them here, it would be best if you part them out. FS/FT is not really for people trying to make $$. Most people there know what something is worth, and from that, will give you less than retail for your item.

If you are looking to make a profit, I would put an add in the local paper. I saw an add in mine for a AMD 450 k6/2 system that sold for $700 in the paper. I called the guy's number to laugh @ him, but his answering machine said that it was already sold!
