I recall somewhere in the past, a posting form a person who was seeking unused computers or electronics. I am looking for someone who would like to have my unused computers and some other electronics. Whether it is for personal use, or someone who refurbishes for donation. Thanks.

What are they? I have worked on both sides of the equation. I had a client who donated over 50 PC's to a NFP (faith based K-8 school). The school was then upset that the computers were all three years old! (at the end of a lease).

"rebuilding" for a profit on a system over so many years old is not really a fruitful proposition.

And worst of all. Most computers for "recycling" are shipped out of the USA and into slavery

The Villages Computer Club will take any computers that you have that are running windows 7,8 or 10. Ted Wright at (321) 287-8071 is in charge of receiving the computers. They refurbish them and donate them to needy organizations. Sometimes they will take display monitors and printers also.
