Oh, I like where you're coming from more than 99.95+% of people out there do, just in another dimension I despair of people expecting to get "good" money for selling their computers, without realising that the g'd'things get 50% cheaper each year, like by a force of nature or busy chinkos.
Hell yeah, sell your stuff & head for the hills, - at least for a while - (and the timing's all yours) - but I tend to think of pc's as being worth more than the +-$200 you could get for the one you've got. Hell, sell your blood & you get more than that, right? ( I don't know the answer... I live in one of them socialist hellhole 5-star countries.) and that's just dumb luck i assure you.
