Do people sell...  |
| |
| Do people really sell old computer parts - hard drives modems mother boards and the like on ebay...even if they don't work? I was reading online that some people look for the parts even if they dont work to salvage the gold metal etc from them? How would one list an item like that that doesn't work? The reason i ask is - its a neat idea and would be a nice way to get rid of some parts i have in storage that i haven't had time to test - or i know don't work but say the nice metal casing is still usable. | | | | | |

| | Sure you can put them up for sale. Put an ad in the electronics section, include some pictures and descriptions of what you have and that some things don't work and others you're not sure about. People do buy used computer parts on Ebay. | | | | | | |

| | Interesting. I knew people buy used parts...but i hadnt realized people would buy dead/dying/non functional parts. After reading the article seeing that certain things can be taken off like capacitors and such..and used again rather than paying a small fortune for them new. | | | |

| | I could see this happening, if people want to recycle the parts, and I think it's a great idea, if the stuff can't be sold or given away locally. When my husband left AZ, he got rid of a lot of working computer parts that he really couldn't carry up here. He gave them away for free, though. Sell it, give it away, just make sure it doesn't wind up clogging our landfills. | | | | | | |

| | I usually use the stuff i know is working to repair systems or build systems for resale. Its the stuff im not sure of. I just gave a small batch of the old not sure if its working and i know its not working away to a guy that contracts to the place i work for. He said it made good practice and make work projects when it was slow and u cant take bits off and put them onto other bits. I kind of want to try this but i never have time! | | | |

| | I've seen just about everything on ebay for sale. I don't know if people will buy them but why not post them for sale. Just make sure to be honest about their conditions and not mislead anyone. Good luck selling and happy mylotting! | | | | | | |

| | Good to know - i was doing a bit more research and saw that people are saying you need to say if its broken/how and state that it is sold as is. But if you arent honest things like ebay can block you ban you etc. | | | |

| | People sell a wide range of products on Ebay. If they do not know if the product works, they state "sold as is". This should be a warning that the product may not fuction fully. | | | | | | |

| | This is interesting, because I just watched a DIY show, B.Original, on different artistic projects to do that used computer parts. The host of the show was tearing apart keyboards for jewelry and wall art, 3.5-inch floppies for notepads, and she even turned a motherboard into a belt buckle! I thought they were really creative ideas - had me digging for some old floppies and pulling them apart. There's probably a lot of people looking to pick up those odds and ends for arts and crafts - a very "green" type of project. | | | | | | |

| | List them on eBay as not working but otherwise looks in good condition. Some computer geeks buy the stuff to rebuild or play with as I like to say. My sister-n-laws boyfriend use to get stuff that didn't work and could make a whole computer out of it. What ever you do don't ask me how because it always amazed me. He would take one part mix it with another part and bake a cake or scramble eggs. LOL | | | | | | |

| | I'm not sure it's completely fixed if there are parts leftover. LOL. When mechanics do that to my vehicles there is always trouble. Luckily my husband can fix cars so it's not too bad anymore. We only take them to a mechanic if it's a computer issue. LOL Maybe I can take it to you? | | | |

| | They have always fascinated me. I would like to take one apart sometime just to see if I could put it together. I don't dare because I'm afraid of losing something or not putting everything back in the right spot. | | | |

| | Its pretty hard to put things back in the wrong spot - you'd have to force most on a desktop pretty hard to get it in the wrong slots... I love taking them apart...and building them. | | | |
