Core and low end core 2 have been knocked off the list since I replied. The lowest end one you had was 50c I think so it’s fallen off and into scrap rates.
I wouldn’t toss them just yet though. It’s only a matter of time before miners figure out 10 core/core 2 computers cost less than one AMD vega card and uses less energy. Not quite as efficient as gpu mining but anyone with the knowhow to set up a gpu mine can figure out how to make a multi board kit and get the same results. With some work. I’ve got a few core2 quads I’m sitting on for when that does happen. And we’ll see a nice low end cpu spike when, if, that happens. Lite/light created a run on old x87 math units a while back. And they still float in the $1-$5 range today down from the $10+ for the polymer ones without the gold caps since then. Big run on pentium pro CPUs a few months ago too drove already bizarre and asinine “gold” prices for them through the roof and into space using them for triumph coin. Everything old is new again. Core 1st/2nd gen has some powerful unsynchronised math abilities to a cleaver bare metal hacker. So I again suggest holding them for the moment and seeing what they do these next few months. Chris tends to be on line with the real world markets (a bit high then I’d pay on some of them) on that working cpu list. Without all the ebay fake buyer claim fears.
