    Funny that people wont go pick something up. I put an ad on CL and a guy contacted me said he had 2 computers, 45 minutes from my house not really worth it but I combined it with a trip to town so it didnt hurt to bad. He asked me what I do with them and I told him that i recycled them. He asked if i wanted the metal or the boards, I said mainly the boards. Guy said cool the repair shop I work at is overflowing with them, I gave him a card to give to his boss and $5 for the computers that he was going to give me anyway.I lost money by making the drive, I lost money by paying him for the computers, but if I get my foot in the door at this repair shop, I will make far more than my fuel and $5. Pluss he has friends that work at 5 other repair shops in the area. Good thing I didnt say no, thats to far.



    EDIT: But I would not have picked up tvs.
