How to get obsolete computers in bulk

[pompom15]

How do you get obsolete computers in bulk for less that $150. The computers are netbooks, ibooks, etc.

Check with your local universities, colleges, schools, large firms etc as they have a replacement cycle usually every 3-5 years.

Post in the wanted section on craigslist, years ago we needed a bunch of free motherboards for a table project and ended up with over 40 in 2 days.

Also a old method but depending where you live if there is a bulletin board put a pposter something like will take care of old unwanted pc's etc works well in areas with higher senior population once got a truck load at a village for a project for highschool(plz note i did pay for all of those but it was something like 2 bucks pre pc's so was worth for me)

Best places are educational sites.

 

At the college where I work, we recycle 50+ machines every couple of months and have them collected in bulk - numbers of anywhere up to 200 sometimes.

Like others have said, check around in schools. They usually have old computers running XP, vista, or 7 just collecting dust. Just recently before the year ended a teacher let me take his old computer for free since he couldn't get it working. Relatives are also a good source so check with them too.

I asked school's IT guy if they had any computers they were going to throw away, i ended up spenning two extra days after school ended talking through a warehouse of old computers where i could grab anything i wanted, ended up with 18 Dell latitude e5550 (the old model, not the new one) so all you should need to do is ask around, the worst things that will happens is that you get a no.
