Online auction and local ad list. You can sell the computer for parts on ebay.com, amazon.com, You can also list it on your local craigslist at craigslist.org A good thing about craigslist is that you don't have to be a registered member and you can advertise your item to as many locations as you want. You can first start by choosing the state you are in from the right hand side then click on the "post to classifieds" on the very left hand side.

You can can choose the type of your posting and followed by choosing a category that will fir .

Craigslist or Fleabay Since these are smaller parts, I will suggest local selling in Craigslist. I managed to sell some parts like Diskette drive for IBM like this. If you don't want craigslist or are okay with shipping, then try Ebay.

EBay! I have bought LOTS of used laptop parts on eBay for computers that I needed to repair. I'd recommend looking at what the parts are selling for and what actual parts are selling as kits and by themselves, then you can decide how to sell the.

The display, if it still works, will be the most valuable. Also keyboards, hinges, fans, floppy drives, CD/DVD drives, power supplies, modems and any other removable parts can be sold separately. Search ebay for the model number of your compuater and then the part - like "inspiron 2450 display" and see what comes up!

Q (This space, often filled with barely-relevant widgets, intentionally left blank) .

Well, you can sell about anything on Ebay Now, you may not get an awesome price, but it'll be out of your house and you'll get a couple bucks for it. URL1 June 20, 2006I've gotten a lot of hits lately on my EBay FAQ, and there seems to be interest in an FAQ for new sellers. Here's a first draft.

Feel free to use the comments to offer feedback. Q: How should I set my starting price? Browse similar auctions.

Use the "Completed Listings Only" search function to compare bidding patterns. Generally speaking, a lower starting price will attract more bidders. And you don't have to worry about people thinking your item must be flawed if your minimum is too low; many sellers use low minimums and rely on the market to establish a fair price.It's common because it usually works.

Q: When is the best time to start my auction? Weekends, between 8:00 PM and midnight Eastern Time. Q: Should I use "Buy It Now"?Maybe.

This is a neat feature that can benefit everyone involved. What you have to realize, however, is you're setting two different prices for your item; so now, in addition to competing with other sellers, you're also competing with yourself. A "Buy It Now" price of $69.99 might be reasonable compared to what similar items are selling for; but if your minimum bid is only $14.99, I guarantee you'll attract a cheapskate who isn't willing to pay the market value but hopes he can win your item for only $14.99.

He'll place a bid, which causes the "Buy It Now" option to disappear for everyone else, and then he'll drop out of the bidding before it reaches a reasonable price. Remember that bidding is free, so people have nothing to lose placing dozens of unreasonably low bids. If they get outbid, they simply shrug and move on; and if they win, they get your item for a steal.

You need to set your "Buy It Now" price low enough to attract serious buyers; but if you're going to pay that fee, you can't set your opening bid so low that it attracts penny-pinchers. Q: Should I set a reserve price?No. If you have a minimum selling price, that should be your starting price.

Using a reserve simply tells bidders that you're not being forthright, and many bidders will ignore your auction altogether. You also risk attracting bidders who will bid repeatedly until they discover your reserve limit; and once they do, they'll realize they didn't really want to pay that much and they'll retract their bids or refuse to pay. Regardless of what anyone tells you, there is absolutely no reason to use a reserve, ever.

It's like Priority Mail, which costs more than First Class but often takes longer to deliver. It's a special service that is, at best, equal to the standard service; but as long as folks keep paying for it, eBay will continue to offer it. Don't use it.

Q: Should I offer free shipping? You'd think this would matter to bidders, but it doesn't. Check similar items in your category.

You don't want to be the only seller not offering free shipping; but if you think people will bid more on your item because you've promised free shipping, they won't. You're better off stating a reasonable shipping charge and setting a lower opening price. Q: How much should I charge for shipping?

Figure out your cost. Remember that "shipping & handling" includes more than postage. Depending on what you're selling, you may have to buy boxes, padded envelopes, packing peanuts, bubble wrap, packing tape, etc. You should also consider the time you'll spend driving to the post office.

If you're sending a package outside the country or via registered mail, you'll have to fill out forms. You should also know that it's standard practice to absorb the various fees charged by both eBay and PayPal into your shipping charge. Make sure you clearly state your shipping charge in your auction.

I can't stress this enough. Bidders don't understand how much it costs to sell and ship items via eBay; many of them think "shipping" should include only the cost of postage. This is a frequent area of contention between bidder and sellers, and the only way to avoid trouble is to clearly state your charges up front, before anyone bids.

Q: Should I purchase additional listing features like a second category, bold, gallery, etc.?This depends entirely on what you're selling, but the bottom line is that you need substance to back up the gimmick. If your item is unique in a popular category, it's worth a few dollars to grab people's attention. But if your auction is just like everyone else's, bidders will know and you'll be wasting your money.

The blue-chip promotions like featuring your item on eBay's home page are strictly for auctions that will benefit from a high profile. If you're selling a piece of toast shaped like the Virgin Mary, it's probably worth your money. If you're selling an antique coffee grinder, it's probably not.

Q: Is the 10-day auction a waste of money?Yes. Q: Should I ship internationally? You might attract more bidders and a higher selling price.

You'll definitely have to pay more for postage and fill out US Customs Declarations. Since 9/11, shipping to Canada requires a Customs Declaration. Again, this question depends on what you're selling.

If you choose to offer international shipping, I recommend specifying a separate, higher shipping price for international bidders. Q: Should I post a photo of my item?Yes. A photograph is probably the best way to increase your selling price.

People like to see what they're buying. EBay allows you to post one photo per auction, free, and you should always do it. Whether or not you need additional photos depends on what you're selling.

If there's a practical reason, like showing both sides of a collectible coin, then you should. Q: Should I offer a return policy?No. EBay works best when treated like a yard sale.

If you clearly describe the item's condition and post a photograph, there should be no reason for a return. Having a return policy will just act like an open door for abusers to walk through. All such doors that can be closed, should.

Q: Should I accept personal checks?No. After shipping charges, bounced checks are the second most common source of problems on eBay. There's absolutely no reason to accept personal checks.

If your bidder needs to pay with his checking account, he can send an eCheck via PayPal. If your bidder needs to pay via mail, he can send a cashier's check or money order. Don't expose yourself to unnecessary hassle by accepting personal checks.

Q: Should I use PayPal?Yes. You've probably heard that PayPal is controversial. In a nutshell, the story is that PayPal makes a habit of "freezing" funds when a transaction is disputed or if PayPal thinks it's suspicious.

Some of those people never got their money back. Let me be clear: I think PayPal does this on purpose, and I think it's blatantly unethical. I think some of the PayPal executives should probably go to jail.

However, the good news is that it's relatively easy to avoid being victimized by PayPal. You just have to remember one simple rule: PayPal is not a bank. PayPal is a payment processing service — and if you remember that, and if you follow my simple instructions, you'll be safe.

There are two ways you can link PayPal to your checking account. The first is automatic; as soon as you provide the routing information, PayPal can transfer funds into your checking account. However, PayPal cannot withdraw from that account unless you choose to "verify" it, which is the second option.

This is a simple process: PayPal will make two small, secret deposits, something like 37¢ and 63¢, and you'll be asked to confirm the amounts. This proves that you own the account. PayPal is now authorized to withdraw money from that account (but only with your permission).

It's important to remember that you don't have to verify your checking account. If you choose not to, you can still deposit up to $400 per month from PayPal into that account. If you receive $560 from eBay sales in February, you'll have to wait until March to deposit the remaining $160.

If you expect to make less than $400 per month, this doesn't affect you. That's the safest option, to leave your account unverified. However, you shouldn't worry if you need to verify it.

PayPal knows its legal limits. It can freeze funds left in its trust without exposing itself to serious legal repercussions, but making unauthorized withdrawals from federally-insured banks is another story. I wouldn't worry about this happening.

Now, here's the key: Don't leave money sitting in your PayPal account. When your customers pay, immediately transfer that money from PayPal into your checking account. These transfers are free and you can do it as often as you like.

I recommend doing a transfer at least once every day while you're receiving payments. Each transfer takes about two days to clear — and once the money arrives in your checking account, you're protected by federal banking regulations. It's that simple.

You should use PayPal because it's convenient. It's convenient for you; but more importantly, it's convenient for bidders. People who shop online want to use credit cards.

They expect to be able to finish their transactions online. Even if they tell you they would rather mail a check, they won't. They'll procrastinate, or they'll forget, or they'll change their minds.

Trust me when I tell you: If you accept payment via mail, you will get deadbeat bidders. Accepting PayPal is the single most effective strategy for preventing that from happening. Sources: My answer .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
