So what you’re saying is that, of the $850, he’d be able to recoup $425, as long he’s willing to take the computer apart, put all the components back in their boxes (assuming he kept those), listing all the components as separate ads (writing descriptions, taking pictures), communicating with all the buyers and sending out a dozen packages to separate addresses? They will easily take 20 hours. Unless his time is worth less than $22 per hour, he’d be losing money by selling the computer as parts.
