Sounds like a good way to make use of old eMachines, at a large discount too.
Finally, the year of the Linux Desktop! (eMachine edition)

My husband says eMachines have a pretty common capacitor problem. It’s an easy fix to remove and replace for people who know how.
Before selling, the capacitors should be visually checked, at minimum, because they can leak and that’s no good.
that’s most older electronics in some way shape or form, tho. i’d hope any reseller with space for shelves of product is doing a good look-over of everything they put up. or selling it with a disclaimer/nonguarantee.
All capacitors fail but items from around the time e machines were selling have capacitor plague and are thus more likely to fail.
It isn’t limited to just eMachines
Most of the Windows XP age hardware I’ve seen in the last few years as been dead due to capacitor failure.
