Dell Desktops at eBay
 
Why is it that 3/4 of all of the desktops up at eBay are Dells?

I've not looked but are most of these being sold off from corporations who
have upgraded?

So why do you care? Whining that they don't carry Toshiba, HP, or
whatever you happen to want in a brand name?

I place the same value on ebay as I do on a flea market. I might buy a
used toaster for fifty cents but that's as far as I'll go. YMMV

Especially as the eBay Dells are more expensive than direct from Dell - See
Dell Outlet store!

No, just curious. Have some coffee.

Okay, a trivial post.
And the basis for your claimed statistic was?

Its a good observation and applies to many other things too. Its always
worth checking the current retail price of items since quite a number of
sellers sell stuff for more than you could go out and buy it new.
