Extra Motherboards....what would you do?

I've got two ASUS A8n32 SLI motherboards, new in box. I ordered more than I needed from different suppliers since I didn't want to wait too long to get one....so, I've got two left to do something with.

Building a system for resale sounds interesting, and fun, and since I had to RMA my original case, I may just buy another case for myself, so I don't have to wait on a replacement case-then I can just use the extra case to build another PC.
I could also just sell the other board....choices, choices...

How much would you consider selling just the motherboard for? That is also a possibility.

Or, if you wanna be really nice, you could give one to me.

You Ordered 3 Different Boards!!! I wish I had enough money to do that. Well, you could send me one of the extra boards ... You could buuild a system for resale, but I'm not sure how much money you would make though

i found that if you build systems (custom one with quality stuff) people tend to say, "hey i can get dell for less than that." it all depends on the people you try to seel to. some have no clue and will pay you watever you ask. fyi i am open to donations of computer components lol.

I would sell it, never hurts. Or you could like save it for future builds but not all of them..Dang if u had asked me that 1 month ago i wouldve bought them from u lol. I have extra mobo to actually brand new in case. I plan to use it for a future build for family. Sometimes too many choices hurts rather then helps lol.

Personally, - it would make more sense to hold on to it for future builds. Just selling it alone wouldn't give you any profit, and making a costum and selling that would just mean that you would not be the on-call service guy (which can be a pain if you don't want that)

Save them for future builds and testing parts. You probably won't make much off selling them, so you might as well use them yourself. Build your family/friends computers. Or you could experiment with some things. The sky is the limit when it comes to spare parts.
