Selling old computer/components
Having upgraded last years new PC I realise I've still got the PC it replaced sitting under my desk.
Where's the best place to sell old PC's and odd components?
Is eBay worth doing? I've never had a straight forward sale on eBay, either it's a scammer or they don't pay up etc so you end up with eBay doing their resolution for 7-10 days before you can relist it.

My membership on here has run out and the 'not cars' for sale section seems pretty dead now people don't have to scroll past it now the popular areas are at the top.

Ebay would still be a good place, although the robbing barstewards charge for listing and then a final sellers fee upto 25% of the final selling price . Recently sold some old PCs on there. Used the bidding option and started off at a low 99p bid on a job lot of old P4 and AMD Athlon tower systems. Managed to get over £60 for them, then you have to take in the final fees etc.. which means you wont make much money in the long run, but better than taking it to your local scrap yard.
Know what you mean about buyers though. Was selling a Shuttle XPC computer on Ebay a couple of months ago, final bidder was an old couple, which turned out they were bidding on my item as another PC they ordered looked like it wasn't going to turn up on time, and then they backed out of the auction. Had to re-list and put in a case to reclaim the final sellers fees on the first time around (You must do this as Ebay will debit your account even it didn't sell ), after that I have been lucky.
