You can make a
great living selling salvaged computers and parts. The easy part is actually
selling the units. The difficult part of this business is finding a great deal
on price. There are thousands of computer parts and accessories all over the
web. and Amazon are
great places to start. However, my favorite place to buy computers and parts is
Property Room
. Most all the laptops and desktops on Property Room come without hard drives
and power cords. I seem to always find them on Amazon or eBay however. You can
get great deals on drives, storage and memory parts. They also offer software on
the site and is priced very cheap. It is a police auction site for the public
that has great deals on computers, parts, accessories and other items. I can get
a good processor on this site very cheap. However, you must read all the
descriptions and understand that some of the units are salvaged and missing
parts. Take for example-- a laptop selling for 45.00 that needs a hard drive and
power cord. I simply go to Amazon.com and buy the power cord for $4 to $15.00.
The hard drive can be purchased at Amazon also and eBay. I paid 26.00 for a 40gb
hard drive for a HP Compaq nc6220 I purchased from Property Room. I then bought
a power cord for 4.00 on Amazon. So I have approx 86.00 in this unit and could
sell it for $250.00 easily. I like Amazon for parts because you can choose which
company to buy from and most the time shipping is free.
So your selling process in
this business is: Buy the computer parts on Property Room. You will need hard
drives and power cords which can be purchased on Amazon and eBay.com. I also use
Compuvest to buy
parts at big discounts. They have clearance specials that can be purchased for
almost nothing. You can then buy your software cheap on Amazon for the finished
product to sell online. Once you start this process your business will grow and
you will be able to stock more parts and sell more units online at large profit.
