Is buying blank pc's to fill up and resell a viable business?

The only successful ones I've seen buy PCs from businesses and refurbish them then sell on fleabay. Got a couple refurbished Lenovo units off one guy, very professional refurbishing job, they were clean and tested, worked out of the box.

I actually do this, though I haven't sold on ebay yet, I'm hoping to move them locally first

Got some Thinkpads though, wouldn't know they weren't new

I'm thinking of installing windows 7 not 10, and I think it might up the value for desktops

Maybe Linux also

Large companies that make pre-builts likely get bulk discounts on components that you won't get and have cheaper and more efficient distribution.

You will be paying full MSRP and high shipping which means you will need large markups to be profitable. It might be possible to do it if you market it right. People buy shit with large markups all the time (Apple, Alienware, etc.) but you aren't likely to be pulling great profit margins (assuming you aren't actually losing profit). Plus you need to figure out any refund/return policies. Stuff is guaranteed to be damaged in shipping or DOA every now and then and you need to be prepared to deal with that.

have you got any tips or is it like the real estate market where you have to know a guy who knows where the best deals are

it would be awesome to know which businesses are about to upgrade their computer systems

This is a very viable business...in 1999.

If he's from a backwards country it may as well be 1999 for them
