I have a broken intel core duo imac (A1208). I believe the video card is shot as the display consists of checkerboard pattern. The DVD drive doesn't consistently work and when the repair center attempted to diagnose it, his disc kept getting spat out so he gave up. He pretty much told me that it would cost more than it's worth. Still, I've had it for only 4 years and I expect that macs are more durable than that. It's very disappointing.

I want to sell it for parts. Where is a good resource for this aside from ebay? I found a couple of recycling sites and I submitted my info for quotes but are these places reliable and what kind of offers to they usually extend?

Advice appreciated.
