Junk. The seller should pay you to take this obsolete load.

Interestingly, that is around $18.00 each, plus all the adaptors and parts. If you had the time and inclination, you could probably double your money just selling the stuff on Ebay. But it takes a lot of time, maybe for a retired person who has the time to devote to it. Labor costs would be too high to make money paying someone to do it, which is why they sell the stuff off like this.

I don't know how I missed this part of the auction before:
eBay auction wrote:Warranty
Items are sold: Tested Dead, AS-IS
Are they saying that they are all DEAD?!?!?! Then this obviously is no deal....

Yes, it was in the original auction description as well. Along with a claim that "previous customers report that 2-4% are usually unsalvagable." How much additional material each system needs to be revived is another question. At the current price, they're now under $14 apiece. Such a deal!
