Have some old computer parts

[Chris_G]

I was just wondering what I should do with a couple of old computer parts that I have. I have 32x CD-ROM drive and an ATI RAGE XL/8M video card. They were used on a Pentium I and II computer. Should i try selling them?

Keep them for a collection, you never know when one may come handy, but if you don't want them, you may be able to bring in about $5 selling them.

Is that combined? Ebay has some CD-ROM drives for about $15 and the video cards for around $10.

Put 'em on ebay for 99 cents and see what you get, I guess.

I'm afraid they won't sell and I'll still have to pay ebay's bogus selling fees.

IMO, nope. You'll only get minimal amount of cash off them... I would say they're more useful than the money you can get off them.

That's true. Like hack said, hang on to the stuff...you may need it someday. Can't see you needing the Ati card, but you never know!

^ Keep it. I have a ton of legacy stuff still (and I'm not even doing repairs full-time now) that I keep in my closet and garage 'just in case'.
