    You can sell parts in the Notebook review marketplace, on hardforum, ebay, anandtech sales page, etc.

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/forumdisplay.php?f=18
    If you do choose to sell your parts on notebook review, there are some requirements.
    You need to be a member here for over 1 month, and you need a 20 post count of good quality posts. These cannot be Bump's.
    You also need to follow the B/S/T guidelines.

    Other than that selling here has been a good experience for many people. I have sold nearly 60 items here on nbr over the last year and a half I have been a member.

    Your earlier post was deleted as you had not met the 20 post requirement.

    Please be aware that in order to sell or buy hardware at [H], you will need a post count of 50 posts minimum.

    That is not only true, but on hardforum the guys there measure your reliability by heatware. So if you have 1 heatware and the buyer has 50 heatware you need to ship the item before receiving payment. Not everyone is like that on hardforum, but I have run in with one member who made me ship first before being paid

    There are plenty of sites you can sell your components to, one thing is certain is that you have a better chance of selling them on the internet..
