I just love working with computers and I have a bit of money. Problem is that I don’t have a job, and this hobby is quite expensive. So, I thought of perhaps trying to make at least a little bit of money from it by buying old and broken laptops, repairing them, and then reselling them. Perhaps if I get a laptop that’s compatible with Libreboot, such as the Lenovo ThinkPad T480, I could also flash Libreboot onto it.
Nevertheless, I’m also planning to get a real job soon.
I buy almost exclusivly second hand electronics. The existing market for refurbished computers is large, already.
The ones I buy seem to be written of hardware from companies, that required very little work to refurbish.
I’m simply guessing, but I expect that there’s not much profit to be made, if you take into account your time worked.
