Let's say I have a wholesale account with a company that sells some PC stuff. Most of it is not that great deal wise but they have a few refurb MOBOs I am looking at.

For example an ASUS Sabertooth X79 LGA 2011 which is $340 usually on Newegg and Amazon. How much could I get on Amazon for some refurb units you think?

Same with an ASUS Rampage IV Extreme LGA 2011 which sales for $430 normally.

I might buy a few and resell them on Amazon but it would only be beneficial if I did a bulk order.

How much are you paying for them? Personally, I'd be reluctant to buy a refurbished board simply because I don't really know what that means. It could be a customer return that ultimately turned out to be "fine" in factory tests, but when I get the board I could find out that it struggles to deliver the current needed for a mild overclock under full load even though it runs perfectly at stock... and that would piss me off.

If you have the means to test them fully, or have a guarantee that there's nothing wrong with them, you might do better to sell it as lightly "used" or something -- in which case I'd check what they're going for on eBay, which is usually the rock-bottom cheapskate price.
