I have a ton of Dell laptops notably 7400 Latitude series that are just being chucked. What could be sold to Chris for best profit?

Resell them for repair/parts outside of Boardsort.

To Boardsort, sell them whole without batteries. You would need to sort into complete w/good screen or partial w/good screen or broken screen.

Those are the easiest options ^

If you have time to tear them down and figure out where to take everything then, take the laptop screen off whole (don't cut any wires) and sell those if you can find someone. Remove all the circuit boards from the frame of the laptop and sort those into their respective categories. I don't see a DVD drive on those but if they do you can keep those whole or tear them down also (I stopped taking them apart myself to save time). I'm not sure if there's any metal in the frame on that particular model but you could remove any metal there for a little extra money from a local scrap yard (unless Boardsort is local to you). If you can find a plastic recycler you probably won't have enough material to sell to anyone (depends on where you are) but you might be able to drop off to a business that you know will reuse it.

Tearing down whole units as described usually gets you more value per pound but requires your time to do it.

Tearing them down is prob best option. I am overseas though. Is it worth it sending the parts back USPS to boardsort? I have just been taken out the wifi adapter, the ram, and the NVME drives since I believe they have gold leads on them.
