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?

    Edit: I may have got a hold of the wrong end of the stick on this one. Leaving it for posterity.

    eBay lets you search previous sales of items so in theory, if you search for things you already have, you could get some idea of their worth. Other sites may have similar features.

    As for where to post them, it’s pretty common here in the UK to parcel things up and take them to the nearest Post Office. I’m sure I’ve heard people on YouTube talk about doing the same sort of thing in (parts of?) the US, so it might be a common thing wherever you are too.

    Some delivery services will pick up from your premises but I’m not 100% sure of the process there. i.e. where the delivery labels come from, whether you’re supposed to print them yourself or whether the driver turns up with something to slap on a parcel, etc. I presume their websites outline the steps.

      🤣

      Hah, easy mistake for you Brits to make, so don’t feel bad. In the states we don’t use the word “post” as a verb meaning to mail something out
