My Craigslist Ad

I wouldn't even turn the key on my truck for that load. Always ask what they have and if its not at least 10 computers or equal value tell them to bring it to you. What all do you have is always the first thing out of my mouth

The fact of that matter is that it was all FREE. My buddy helped me pick it up, so we used his car, probably should have grabbed his truck. So l literally paid $0. No fuel, nothing. Granted I have the "labor" involved in breaking it down and pricing it out, but with what I got it shouldn't take me to long. You have to understand that I've only been scrapping for a few weeks and most of it has been electronics. I have a good grasp on computers and such from by background in networking and just knowledge I've acquired over the years. I handed him a business card and told him if he knows anyone else who is interested and to have them give me a call so who knows what that "might" lead to. Even if its nothing, I'm out nothing so its really a win/win for me Sir.....but the dude abides man.

This forum is a opinion, share your experience with fellow scrappers format,your profile states you are a experienced scrapper and you in your tread say that you have been scrapping for three weeks ok so with three weeks under your belt and useing your friends car to do the pick up i under stand.The information that fellow scrappers give you should be taken seriously we have been there and done that,i dont want to seem rash to you but doing those kind of pick ups with out charging is a recipe for failure just my two cents,

Again, I'm new and I understand and appreciate the information that is on this forum, and other people's experiences and knowledge. I'm just curious, how you think that not charging is a recipe for failure? At the very least I'm profiting on selling the boards and testing everything that's going to catch more then scrap prices. The server is whole, and I plan on wiping the drive and upgrading it, maybe, then throwing it up to sell. While I just briefly checking the pricing on, they go for around $250. So even if I'm able to get $200 or so, that's still a nice profit in my eyes. I realize that some of the members here are dealing with mass amounts of product, so my little pickup doesn't seem worth it to you. Which I can understand and see why when your at that level.
