Are the Dells complete systems with flat screen monitors?

I don't know what kind of volume you see in donated items, but when I walked
through you had dozens of Dell PCs stacked up in the hall to the point of
almost having no room left. I would suggest you lower the cost of these
significantly to the $25-50 range and move them out. You could provide a
bench where a buyer could hook 'em up and try them before buying and then
you wouldn't have to mess with them at all.

Just a thought.

We just got a online catalog working for WorldCare to organize and display
donated product for sale to outside parties.  It is only working internally
at present but will be shared soon.  Thanks to SimplyBits for all their
support.

I sort of volunteered to coordinate the handling of server-type donations.
I will try to spend one morning a week cataloging, testing, loading, parting
out, etc.  My question is for every TFUG'er who has purchased there or
wanted to purchase there.  What suggestions do you have  about maximizing
the recycling of the product and the amount of revenue received for
WorldCare?  What kinds of things would you strongly consider purchasing
there?  What would you not consider purchasing there?  Are you more likely
to get whole systems or components?  Fully configured or barebones?  More
likely to be work purchases or personal?  
Esoteric fun stuff or basic functional stuff?

I throw this out to the group for comments but you can reply offline if you
wish.

In the interest of full disclosure, SLF uses a fair number of recycled
servers from WorldCare.  Call this volunteer project enlightened self
interest....
