Where can I sell broken and old laptops?

Please don't reply with 'but I don't know how to replace a screen' because the www is awash with advice and tutorials on how to fix just about anything computer-related.
Also, your advice is pointless.0 -

Wow, if you think that was rude, then you better stay away from the Internet0 -

Take them to the local council recycling centre and move on.
As an alternative to chucking them away - if there's a college or suchlike nearby, they might be glad of them if they run any courses that teach computer repairs. I know my local college will always take them for teaching and allowing the students to practise their repair skills on. I realise this doesn't really address the OP's question about being able to get something for them, and the usual caveat about securely removing your private data still applies ... but it's better than them going to landfill0 -
Thank you, I'll look into local colleges, it's a very good idea.0

No need to take a 'lump hammer' to the hard drives. Just take them out and keep them, perhaps for backups.0
