I did exactly this as a job about three years ago in Nothern Kentucky. We would get semi trailers full of pallets of 5-10 year old laptops and PCs. Mostly from businesses upgrading. Then we would wipe them, fix anything that needed fixing (always with repaired/recycled parts), and sell them. Not the most reliable machines for the end users, but super cheap! It was kind of interesting, we would use RAM that had been sent back through a solder reflow oven to fix bad solder joints, figure out ways to repair dented and broken machines, etc. I hated the job since it was super monotonous, but it paid.
