Ive gathered over the years a descent stash of desktop computers and parts but now i have too many and im not sure what to do with them or how to sell/get rid of them? Or even where to post them at. The computers are nothing new or special.

What would you advise?

    Depends how old.
    A 1973 pdp11 is worth a few bucks.
    A 2008 Dell Optiplex not so much.

    That said, there might be some idiot some where looking axactly for what you’'re selling.

      some idiot whose business depends on extremely niche software that only reliably runs on that exact model of PC, most likely. we’ve all heard the horror stories of 20 year old but otherwise functional, multi-million dollar machinery becoming crippled because the controlling HP Pavilion tower’s motherboard finally ate it

      Ive thought about just doing a case swap and upgrading what i can but that dosent really seem worth doing. Also yes what i mostly have is optiplex-like systems. I have found some with a i7 on the other hand, the best machine i found came with a i7 and a 4vram nvidia card. Im mostly lost on what online marketplaces to list on.
