E-Smart, make money while recycling old equipment

Remember what I said about being smart and using old hardware that you got laying around your home?

Well how about this for a change. Go to the PC Repair Shops in your local area, ask around for old computers that customers never returned for or that have been left there, discarded, because they are obsolete and the customer doesn't have a need for it. Another option is going to recycling places and picking up mostly working electronic equipment or pieces to build a nice one.

Before, or after, rebuilding some computers you'll need to find that market segment who's in need for a cheap PC to check their e-mail, news, social networking, etc. This section of the population is usually in the lower end of the market that not even companies can reach into, and with the current economy it's even lower at this point, so that leaves the independent guy with a chance to get a quick buck while putting some old hardware back into circulation.

That's three things right there.

Maximizing the use of old equipment and putting them back into use.

Less trash.

Money in your pocket.

It's all good, it's all smart and it's all for the benefit of a lot of people and the planet and it works, believe me, as I've sold a couple of those to that small market I'm talking about.
