    Title says it all really. I'm interested in buying some consoles in Bulk to make a little extra cash to help off-set the costs of the reflow station. I was curious who else might do this sort of work, and where you purchase bulk consoles for repair and resale?

    i was looking at liquidation.com but for what it would average out to, i can still pull consoles from ebay for less.

    that's what I noticed. These don't really seem like they come out cheap enough to be worthwhile.

    exactly. not buy the time you factor in shipping is 45 bucks at minimum (price to ship 3 separate consoles off of ebay) and the average cost of the units are around 60-80 bucks a piece ( i can get RROD HDMI units for around 30-40 each on ebay all day long, if not cheaper). so its just easier to use ebay for me.

    I figure I'm probably bidding against you on a few at the moment. Hopefully they don't end up too high.

    Is your ebay name the same as here? If so I'll take care not to. AD users gotta stick together!
