How to make $600 out of 8 Computers through Scrapping. It's very possible

#scrapping #makemoney #ebay #PC #desktop
So I picked up a bunch of scrap from a friend's business. Last time I picked things up, I got a bunch of Broken LCD screens and about 20 really old desktop computers. This time I got really lucky. I told him even though they were not working that he had some decent stuff. He didn't want to bother and gave me everything. Well someone else trash is someone else treasure as in about $600 worth of stuff to sell on eBay.

Nice thanks.im still learning so its nice to actually here some numbers.

Cheers!

So how is this a "How to?" You dont show how to actually make money off of them. What category to list them user, what keywords to use and who to target for these items.

[@anthonycolangeli4133]

Nice video! You made a great haul.

[@champlainscrap6076]

+Anthony Colangeli Yeah I got some good stuff but it goes to show you that scrap[ping is not always about destroying everything and if you're careful you could make some good money. There was a local guy that used to go around and all the decent looking stuff he would hold on to and then in the summer would have big garage sales.

where from you get that scrap

[@michalbalecki2407]

finaly a inteligent scrapper

[@pup9et]

They two boards were server motherboards. Which is why they had extra dimm slots for ram

[@champlainscrap6076]

+Jack Mehoff I figured they were not regular desktop computers. They were the oldest ones i got and they had some good value

[@pup9et]

+Champlainscrap Yup, a lot of gamers are building systems with them these days cause of the extra dimm slots. If you get one of the cpus designed for server KEEP it! They are expensive to buy! you could get some good money from them.

Cool Thanks

It's easy to set up a few PSUs to cover everything then test parts to sell as known working. Use live USBs prepared with Ventoy and various test .isos.

I just got 25 pentium 3 computers and 10 old cell phones.10 computers still working, OS Win98 :) What do you think, how mutch gold I can scrap from them.

[@champlainscrap6076]

Probably not that much. Another scrapper had made a video not too long ago and did a test. They had about 120 Ram gold fingers that he had cut. So the gold he had was plentiful, not sure if that's the right word but I'll go with it. He ended up getting about $40 worth of gold from them. From what you have, I would say less than $40 of gold

[@christianschou7957]

The ram fingers is not at All the only Thing to scrab from old pc and other electronic scrab, money can be made easy iff you can get the stuff for picking it up its worth your time, strib every gold plated item bath them in nitric acid on some kind of heating device and when the reaction from the copper and other metals stops, you filter cleanse and in your homemade foundry;) forget Aqua regia a prober nitric cleaning is enough.

[@champlainscrap6076]

if they're working, sell them as working. someone will eventually buy even if they are old . As far as gold value, it's hard to say. I have a more recent video showing you how much material you need to make about $100 worth of gold. It's quite a lot. Another scrap had made a video saying that they needed about 100 ram to make $40 of gold. It should give you an idea of how much scrap you need.

[@MrRussian187]

what people are listing it for and what you actually get in the end is 2 different things lucky if you get $60 for everything

[@champlainscrap6076]

I literally got $600 for all that stuff 2016 :) . Also always check completed sold listings

[@Angelina_Jolie_xxx]

I want to get rid of some stuff. Bakersfield

[@cuetTimmonz]

im getting a good collection, this winter. for spring to get some cash. computer stuff. gold, silver, aluminum, copper, and copper from motors and electrical wires. tin. and scapping beer cans as well. shit... we all need a side hustle now.. bread costing u 4.00 a loaf. I found a full case of beer, someone tossed in the bin. crazy. so i emptied them in the sink, and put in my collection... people still waste!!! sorry I dont drink.. lol

[@dns938]

So you must be selling this stuff online and not sending it to board sort

[@champlainscrap6076]

Some of the working stuff does get sold online or locally

[@oryx1646]

I got a Xeon a i5-3470 i3-2130out of three and they all work

[@oryx1646]

Plus some good heat sinks hard drives fans power supplies and ram

[@AJsRemovalServices]

I have a question ... The title of your video says that you can make approximately $600 breaking down those 8 computers.. I understand you'll be selling those items on eBay not to a scrapyard and that's where you came up with that figure.. Approximately how long do you think it would take to sell all those items?

[@champlainscrap6076]

+A & J's Removal Services, LLC. If I aggressively price them, I would say in a month or 2 at most. I found that all these parts sell well.

[@jvcmercado]

@@champlainscrap6076 u still have them?

[@drknstodstny4141]

​@@jvcmercadoI guess you didn't hear. This guy got rich off scrapping 12 computers. He's now living in the Bahamas in a beautiful beach front mansion with 2.5 kids and and golden retriever.

[@alexy.9306]

couldn't u just get more money if you sell the whole pc??

[@champlainscrap6076]

Selling the part separately will almost always bring you more money

[@alexy.9306]

@@champlainscrap6076 wierd cus i began scrapping things but then realised that i can be making more bank if i just sell the thing.

[@champlainscrap6076]

@@alexy.9306 Not scrapping but taking apart the computers and selling the parts separately if they are actually working. Scraping is last resort

[@alexy.9306]

​@@champlainscrap6076 yh but usually the things i scrap work but they are super old and i think no one would wanna buy them like an xp computer

[@champlainscrap6076]

@@alexy.9306 Even so XP stuff is still good. As long as the PC is dual-core you should still be able to get some money for them. I usually get between $25 to $50 for a dual-core processor with motherboard and Memory

You might want to speak English as well as "computer" when you talk about scrapping computers. Us older viewers are quickly turned off by monotone computer talk
