Illiterate has some computer questions?

I am not a huge computer guy. Actually, i tear them apart more than use them. I own my own Salvage company, and have a lot of E-scrap that I want to get rid of but don't want to get hosed because i don't know squat about computers, so i figured i would come ask the smart people. I am not trying to solicit anybody, just really need someone who knows what kind of things I have and where i can get rid of them at, without again, GETTING HOSED! Any suggestions will be helpful. :$
 
Maybe set up an account for your company on ebay or somewhere similar, and sell them there? Sold as auctions, the sell price should roughly reflect what people are willing to pay, without you having to know precisely what each component is actually worth. Of course, you don't want to waste your time and money with stuff that's practically worthless, so you need to be able to distinguish the worth-selling stuff from the electronic waste.

If you intend to just sell all the e-scrap to someone to to take care of for you, I've no ideas.

Thought about Ebay, but it's like you said, knowing what's actually worth something and whats junk. I have buyers in other sates that will take it as scrap, but i just know this stuff is worth more. I have CPU's, Motherboards, Memory/Ram, Hard Drives, Finger boards, all stuff that either makes a computer fast or has gold on them. Thanks for the reply!
 
Yeah, there's no way to maximize your profit without a lot of work a research, and if you sell the lot to somebody else, they're not going to give you what the lot is really worth because now they have to put in the sweat equity.
