Here.  Hard to believe that he's asking $99 for this dirty board when he was selling clean G80-8113's for <$40.  Posted for the lulz.

Look at that tab key (or any key, really). What machine shop did they pull that out of? $99 for a board in thet shape is ludicrous. I got a few lulz out of it, though.

Check out his price for a heavily used unicomp:

Rawko is a warehouse facility that buys and sells computer equipment by the truckload and pallet-full.

I have been inside the operation and they have electronic gear stacked to the (30' high) ceilings, mostly in wire cage type bins and on metal shelving.

When they find anything of value they pull it out and put it on ebay for a while. After it has sat around for some amount of time you can "make an offer" and they may take it.

After some amount more time, it will be sold to the 3rd world in containers.

They usually start by asking top dollar, and have a pretty good idea of what the market will bear. I have gotten a couple of "half-way decent" deals from them, but only because I am local and can save the shipping.

Now, if you wanted a hundred desktops with Pentium IIIs and 2GB hard drives, they could fix you up for cheap !

funny how we still haven't figured out a proper way to deal with the E-wastes after all these years.

Good to hear from someone who's seen the operation first-hand!  I bought my G80-8113 from Rawko and posted the Ebay link here, and many people here jumped on it! :)

After no sale for a week they added "Make an Offer" and I predict they would take half to 2/3 of the original asking price.

As someone who has a fairly pristine G80-11900, this makes me sad inside
