Phil Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Good luck! Getting set up to sell is something I've been putting off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
road-runner Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Thanks Phil, I have a lot of old 478 and 754 cpus, I do not have any off the plastic containers they come in. I wonder what I could put them in if I sell them so the pins will not get bent? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterRex862 Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Foam. You can get packing foam from any department store, just cut a recessed square out that's long enough for the pins to face the open air and tape another flat piece of foam on top. It's done the trick for me quite a few times. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what I could put them in if I sell them so the pins will not get bent? I'll buy a socket 478 if it's cheap enough and you have a board to sell with it. Why don't you put some stuff on OCbay.net? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's done the trick for me quite a few times. Anti-static foam I hope! How about these boxes? I've used them and they are great for CPU's. They are by Corstat and should be available in the USA. Your first ebay purchase? Cheers Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I'm in the same boat. I need a secondary rig, but I'm too lazy to look anywhere really. If you do have a decently priced CPU/Mobo you plan to sell (Kuronin gets first dibbs, of course ) I'd be a happy buyer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuronin Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Nah, you go first, I was just looking for something to test peanut butter with. I'm thinking CPU and MOBO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fire_storm Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Ebay's a good way to make a small amount of cash on some of your older computer parts. Just be careful though. Log the serial numbers of the parts you sell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
