Hey Guys, i always hear about buying old office PCs from craigslist or FB marketplace. Since Facebook is not an option for me and (at least here on german ebay) people still charge an arm and a leg for an elitedesk with i5-4590, i was wondering if anyone knows of specific site for buying old office pcs (from leasing etc.) in Germany or shipping to Germany. Now with the end of Win10 there should be some options right?

Any help would be appreciated!

    Talk to e-waste recyclers and see if they have contact details for anyone buying their office PCs. Businesses don’t give a fuck, these things are going straight in the bin.

    You could attempt to buy from them directly but there’s a solid chance they already have someone buying in bulk and don’t want to sell single items to the public.

      as a person who works in that industry pretty much. the only people buying singles are people who do it internally else its sold on bulk because the money gets split between the ecycler and the company who originally owns the product.

      outside of having less processing to deal with per order, a company buying things in bulk is less critical about the condition of a product than an individual end user.
