I get them all the time from jobs I do. They just sit around and collect dust until I toss them or recycle them at a local dropoff for old PCs and parts.

Given that everybody seems to be doing this, I know I won't be raking in anything substantial. I wouldn't be looking to make a living from this, only a few bucks.

Worth it? Yay? Nay?

selling a couple parts here and there MIGHT be worth it in the long run.

You may have better luck selling everything in a lot.

yup... esp if u have pretty low value parts. just make a lot and unload all in one shot. saves u time and money (imagine... $.35 to list an auction that ends at like $1... then paypal dips into ur wallet... u r left with close to nothing).

you can sell just about anything on ebay provided that you have what buyers wanted to buy in the first place, just don't luck out when no one buys from you. keep trying, persistent is key
