you might be surprised, some older stuff does sell better. Some people are just plain attached to their computers and just plain want that old memory. On the other hand, some people, buy the parts and extract the gold from them. I would probably start it out at 50 and try that. If it doesn't sell in say the first couple weeks, try dropping it and seeing what happens.
If someone wants the memory why would they spend the extra money on shipping + parts for an entire computer?
Extract the gold from them? There is no gold in a PC. There is copper though.
It was just an example, my point was there are still those people that like having the older stuff for various reasons. And actually, you would be surprised. Sure, some of your low end PCs only use copper, but a lot of computer stuff uses gold-youd be surprised how much. There are companies out there that buy old computers like that just to extract the gold out of them. For example, on my machine, the contact points on the memory and on the video card are all made out of Gold, as well as some of the wiring-gold is a really good conductor, which is why it is so widely used in computer parts. Most people don't realize this, and in reality, its difficult to extract withou the right equipment-but it is widely used. In fact, I dare say the computer your using right now has some gold in it. :D
