reselling motherboards??
« on: January 03, 2010, 12:07:22 PM »
I can buy some motherboards for really cheap.  They are untested though, and some have bent pins.  I was thinking about buying a bunch, testing them and selling them for more.  What do you think?

    Have you looked at the price of used motherboards on ebay? or the new prices on newegg? They would have to be high end , bought super cheap and sold super cheap. Personally if I'm going to go through the trouble of motherboard installation I want to know I have a good one with a warranty.

    They are just too hard to win.  The wons that are worth it anyways. I tried, but I guess people put a higher maximum bid or something.  Ive tried all the way up to $21 for a 790i.  Its not worth the risk.
