Fair value of used PCs

[ATG]

Company I am working for is winding up one operation and will be getting shot of some PCs. They are a couple of years old but were quite hi spec workstations. Any idea where I can get an idea of what they are worth?

[annodomini2]

need to know the spec.

...but pretty much bugger all if 2 years old.

IIRC PC equipment can be depreciated down to zero value over 2 years anyway, so worth precisely nothing to the company?
{edited to add} you're probably doing the company a favour by taking them off their hands!

I had to do this for a leasing company - we just took a price off of ebay for something similar.

Can't you write off PC's in 1 year or have the rules changed recently?

Less than £100 per box.

Thats being generous.

I'll have em all at £20 a box..

How many are we talking here?

E-bay them, people will buy any old crap off of there at the moment.

Let me know what you have, we deal with alot of ex lease equipment and may well take the lot off you for refurbishment.

thanks for the e-bay suggestion ... have managed to find good matches on the items, which are mainly Dell Precision workstations. It's given me a basis on which to make an offer for some of the stuff, which is what I was after. Thanks again.

ATG, is there not a chance you could sell some individualy, ie just 1...for me?

I'm looking for just a box as my home pc is....er...geting on a bit.

umar ... to be honest, the kit we've got is probably not suitable for home use. They were fitted with stupidly small hard discs which anyone would need to upgrade, but they've all got SCSI controllers, so the new discs would still be quite expensive ... i.e. about equal to what the machine is worth.

If you're looking for a cheap PC, have a look at e-bay. I've just spent an hour gawping at some of the prices on there.

Umar - drop me a line if you are after a cheap used machine we have stacks of them available
