Why the fuck are used laptops so expensive? - GoFuckYourself.com

It's ridiculous, they go fast when I can get them, had four of them last week and sold them in a day.. But I can't find a good deal anywhere. Look on ebay and 50-70 for no os or even no hd old junk... I mean hell you'd think they could be had from somewhere at a decent price. I get $125-$150 for them and they're good for a quick 100, so, if I could buy them used somewhere ready to go at a decent price I could really cash in.. Fuckin' tired of buying them from individuals. Jesus christ it is annoying.

Anyone know where I can find a deal?

Secure disposal. Get paid to take them away.

A clusterfuck of nouns, verbs and adjectives.

My buddies dad runs a computer shop and they sold quite a bit of used computers and would travel to schools etc... and get tons/skids of shit for free as a secure means of disposal for them, some of it was kinda dated though, due to prices of new systems continuing to drop he say's the used market has kinda died off.

My cousin's husband has it a bit better as he custom builds powerful systems for businesses and he usually ends up getting their old systems. Garbage=recycled, Good=free parts He's also good at getting them to upgrade every few years around tax time.

So start a little computer store and have free disposal days or spam the hell outta craigslist offering free pick up but expect most of it to be garbage with a few gems.

I use to buy and sell junk hard drives, got them by the pound/ton and sold them for $1-$2 apiece. That was beautiful. Hazardous waste :D

That's an interesting thought. Interesting.
