I'm thinking of starting a web business where I take old (think 2008 to 2013 era) laptops, clean em' up, fix basic issues, put in some new hardware and sell them.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a place where I can get classic, semi well treated laptops in large quantities for an adequate price.
I see other businesses who do this but, I can't figure out where they get their stock.

Don't know where you get them, but I'll buy one from you when you find out. That would probably be a good category for 4chan advertising too.

I work for a state government and we literally pay someone to throw them away. Something about being sure that the confidential info is scrubbed before they end up in a landfill. I always thought that was dumb since I'm sure the contractor is selling the components off of them after they scrub the drives. They should be paying us. Try to contact your state governments IT services desk. Usually there are rules that they rebid annually for that kinda stuff. And if you quote free as your price, you won't lose.

Just meet with the businesses that already do this as an investor and inquire on where the stock is sourced. Then undercut them and divert the stream of product to your own means.
Profit.
Not gonna hold your hand through it, Google: social engineering

google "remaining stocks".
lots of companies sell remaining stocks cheaper as a bundle (B2B). e.g. you get 100 laptops for 100$ each.
also: if a company modernizes its computer systems the wipe the harddrives and sell their crap as bundle also.

I used to work for Techonology integration group. they literally do this on a large scale. they make contracts with the school districts and every summer they collect, re-image and clean thousands of laptops
