Bits and pieces website

TomTom

Would any of ye guys be interisted in a site that sold old computer parts and commputer related bits and pieces?

I'm just trying to find out if you think there is enough interest for another one.

How would it work ? U the retailer sell "bits and pieces" or like an Ebay style bits and pieces website ?

Sounds like a good idea TomTom.

Will take alot of work though.

A friend of mine started a company for processing technical waste, he realised that a lot of the equipment that companies give to him could be usefull to other people and might have a bit of value worth. The majority of the stuff is shiped out of the country for processing in holland (rules and regulations) but things like floppy drives or old bits of pc's that people might want for a linux box are plentyfull. I'm going to seel if he will take on the idea.
AFAIK hard drives are out of the question because due to laws on data security he has to destroy them on site. Mabye he might have some.

Greenstar Recycling already sell parts that they remove from tech companies. Its been a while, but I never remember any restrictions on what can be bought or not.

there is a need . in work i see ppl come in with old computers that have broken mobo's or need old graphics cards they always seem willing to spend about 100 on each mobo so they never seem to mind as long as it will work in the end .. ( p2's k6's )

There are crowds doing this but they all lack proper websites. If you can make a good website then go for it !
