...

  he was a PC recycler. what he has is what you get
through that channel.

 So if people brought him all those computers with the understanding 
 they'd be recycled .... but instead he kept that all for his personal 
 enjoyment, and now he's trying to make a huge profit from them .... that 
 smells bad. 
I don;t get this

Most (if not all) people who give their old computers to recyclers don't 
much care what happens to them. They have no further use for the machine. 
They may want to keep toxic matrerials out of the landfill (but that 
would be met if the machine is kept in operation by the recylcer), they 
don;t want any personal data that may remain on  the machin spread aroudn 
(but there's n osuggestion this is occuring). 

Presumably you think it would be OK for the recycler to extract any 
nmaterials of value from the machine and keep the profits himself. So 
what's the problem with keepign the entire machine intact?
