A few months ago Joe became a finalist in the Guardian's eBay challenge - the challenge being to make as much money as you can by running a business on eBay. Joe's business is to buy broken laptops, strip them and sell the parts for spares.
He's writing a blog about how it's all going at LaptopScrapyard. If you're after a part for your broken laptop there's a chance he might have it in his eBay store that sells all of his laptop parts.
Maybe you have a broken laptop that you don't want to fix you want to sell/give him so he can use it for parts! Just a thought!
