Is it worth trying to make money from buying broken laptops, repairing them (and maybe try installing Libreboot onto), and then reselling? in c/[email protected]

[–] AlphaOmega 11 points 3 days ago

In order to be profitable you will need to either pull the laptops out of the garbage or get a really good deal. Most of the time, the profit margin is too thin to be viable. I used to get laptops for $10 to $20 at Goodwill, but they would need $50 to $100 worth of parts and only sell for $100 to $200. After labor, parts, etc. You would be lucky to break even. I would spend more time looking for some good repairable laptops at a decent price, then actually selling them. Maybe if I had a store and people brought me laptops to buy, it could be profitable.. But its extremely thin margins.

Apex legends ran around 80 fps upscaled from 1080 to 1440p on win 10.

On Linux it ran at 120 fps + on native 1440p and eliminated the majority of stuttering

The stupidest FB Marketplace that I deal with Weekly. (lemmy.world)

FB Marketplace Scam. There's a second where they get your phone number and send you a "confirmation" link which apparently will confirm you are changing an account over to them. Not sure what account, as my phone provider auto blocks these scam links.

This one is pretty stupid. Instead of venmo'ing the cash to their "relative" who is coming to my place to pick up the item. They expect me to accept the Venmo on my end, then wait 1-3 business days before actually being able to get the cash for the product. At which point there is no cash. They continually try the scam even when I say it's cash only.

Also if you inspect these profiles they are generally one image and zero information. These are all from fake accounts which they delete /get banned periodically.
