GA - have HP Compaq dx2200 Microtowers to sell
« on: November 15, 2010, 02:36:06 pm »
Getting ready to put several of these on eBay to see what they'd fetch - what would be reasonable on these plus shipping and handling? The school is leaving it to me, and I have no idea myself. Some might be sold only for parts.

Here is the pic and specs - if this is in the wrong place, please move:

There are many processor options available for that pc. Which processor do these have?

Didn't think of that; I'll have to check the working ones tomorrow. There are a couple that I cannot get to boot (see Software: Boot error with Intel thread started last week), so I may have to "open them up to find out" - will post asap tomorrow (probably tomorrow afternoon, but possibly earlier).

One machine is an AMD 64 Athlon processor (normal, no FE or anything after it); the other 2-3 that I have here that don't work at the moment are Intel Pentium 4's.  If I learn different, I will let you know, but it's probably a safe bet that as these were bought in bulk that most of the others in the warehouse are likewise.

Two of these here I believe will eventually work, but there's a bunch in storage.  Again, I'd like to know what you all think as a price range - we are planning to sell on eBay for $100 - 150 dollars, if that seems reasonable; in any event, the computer lab (my department here @ school) gets half the profits.   Any advice would be appreciated! :)

You're probably looking at around $50 - $75 depending on if it works, comes with operating system, hard drive, etc.

Make sure that if you include the hard drive to wipe it with something good like Darin's Boot and Nuke.

$100-150 seems a bit steep, unless it comes with a hard drive, at least 1gig of ram and an OS.  You can find places that sell barebones P4 systems for under 50 bucks for reference:

Check- I don't think they were expecting to get a fortune out of any of them- just enough to make a little on their investment and be able to afford another round of "used" ones themselves, I think.  Will check on the rest of that info.
