Awesome indeed. The seller says 'They were
acquired for recycling
purposes but we have decided to sell as is to free up space in the
warehouse for other inventory.' Surely they mean 'Selling these because
the $4300 we think we'll get for them eclipses the recycled materials'
value by at least a factor of ten.' And that's a good thing, in my opinion.
I don't think it will sell for nearly anywhere near that price, but
I've been wrong before.
There isn't much recycle value in these because you have to *pay* to
have the monitor recycled. Once you subtract monitor fees from the
small amount of precious metals that are in the motherboard and
keyboard, there really isn't much left IMO. The case is steel and you
might get some money from that, but not much.
If you dribbled these out on ebay one by one in order to not make the
market drop, I'd guess it would take you 5 years or so to sell them
all off. 70 PETs is a *lot* of PETs. They're big, they're heavy and
expensive to ship.
