You're 15, have your own computer company, and are (demanding) people to basically pay you to have their stuff sent......to you. Don't you think it's a little presumptious to think that somone would want to send a 30-40lbs system to you for free? If anything you should pay for atleast shipping just so the pther person gets something out of it (meaning nothing). I have many systems that are old DX's but I would never (sorry to say it) ship them to anyone for free. Each system is in a STEEL case. Each case weighs (like said) from 30-40lbs or more. If you would still be interested in any of the systems I have I will gladly PM you specs and ship to you IF you would pay shipping.
 
I'll pay only $25.95 CAN. It was not entirely revised until now. But to tell you the truth, the company is only a "in-friend" which is not public already (hidden demo). I just want advise for better improving.

Here's what I currently have:

1-AST Bravo/286 33MHZ
2- Old screen
3- 8MB video
4- 2 network cards
5- 1 dial-up adapter
6- 2 sound card
7 -2 A: drive
8- a defective CD-ROM

That is crappy to start the company :(

Got your PM, but I was wondering why do you need OLD! machines. Why not look for some "new" machines like a socket 370 or something. Ebay you can get lots of 20 mobo's with some chips and ram. All socket 370 and all like 533Mhz.

Right. What operating licence is it run under?

So what level of government are you authorized to operate at?

I have a sneaking feeling this thread will find a premature ending....
 
I think you didn't read well. Let me fix it. It's not a company open, registered to public. For that, I'll have to wait 3 years. Then with all the equipment I will have gained, I'll be able to open my own store regisered! And to obtain your answer, Praetor, no it is not registered at all

And why do I have a feeling that you're mean to me? I didn't report spam as before :eek:

Not to mention all the accounting paperwork you'll have to do.

For starters, the crass about 1.3Ghz Athlons "acting" like 2.7Ghz Athlons (you see thats recursive logic ... which presents a problem). The "dual cored" Pentium Pros. The 4-5Ghz chips and stuff too. If you expect me to a "awwww isnt that sweet; he's just misinformed" then I'll tell you this: people who do that to/for you arent worth your time (because you and iboth know what they really are thinking but wont say). Anyone who knows anything about computer tech will quickly challenge the pricing (in your other thread) for the 4-5Ghz Opteron setup with up to a TB of local storage and 32GB of RAM -- not impossible -- but from your responses -- evident that you dont know what you're talking about. Do realize that there is nothing wrong with that but do realize not everyone is fooled :)
 
So in general, I should be more specific to what I'm posting and not to over implement what I say? If it's that, well I'll go correct myself immidiately :D

I read a previous post before that you were saying, "Never trust shops". The guy told me that my 1.33GHZ acts like 2.7GHZ. I think I shouldn't trust him, because PC CHIPS confirm that it's a 1.33GHZ. I think they're wrong, because I test drive an actual 2.8GHZ yesterday and it's 10x faster than what I do. Amd let's hope the CPU will not die, because if it's the case, I'll have to buy a new mobo :(

challenge the pricing (in your other thread)QUOTE]

I hate when people challenges prices, but I know how to get rid of that problem: Put the EXACT same pricing as the other shops

Well if you can find another shop with that exact setup go for it ... of course that gives no incentive to buy from you. Furthermore you obviously missed my point.... 1TB of space + 32GB of RAM .... for that price? not a chance. LOL just look at the system:

AMD Opteron 4-5GHZ/500-1024GB/16-32GB RAM = $1056.99-$3904.50

Doesnt that just SOUND silly to you?

As for the "trust the store guy" -- if you want to seriously consider selling computers and stuff -- perhaps you should spend some more time learning the architecture and stuff .... this isnt intended as an attack by any means but simply that it absolutely destroys your credibility if you say stuff and seemingly cant provide hard facts.
 
Prae, you got any advice for him (and me) on opening a store/job? I've been putting together many business plans and I know I would have to spend somewhere in the 20-40k range just to get all the stuff I need and a storefront (rent for **# of months). I just don't know the taxing and all that jaz that goes around with it.

1. Decide early on what 'role' you want to take:
- Techno-weenie: deals with the tech stuff
- Paper-pusher: deals with the paperwork, finances, legalities, etc
Granted there are some people who can effectively do both but if not, make sure you pick a role and stick to it (especially in a partnership or something)

2. If you're working with other people -- make sure all involved members have the required time commitments :P (heehee been there myself actually)

3. Make sure the paper-pusher is reliable: dont wanna get sued over a trivial stupidity that he looked over

4. Make sure the techno-weenie knows his/her stuff like the back of their hand.

LOL i know that feeling :P
 
I would never contemplate opening a bricks and mortar computer store, when I look at just how much cheap competition is out there, and the geographic limitations.
Online retailing is a different story though... requires a lot of capital, but it is not an area which I would completely dismiss.

Agreed. Been there myself actually ... i find word-of-mouth business works much more profitably -- albeit more sporadically ;)
