Good week getting better

Week started with me reposting my cl ads for scrap computers last Friday morning. Out of 6 responses 3 are going to pay off, one REALLY BIG. First pick up was today from a guy who won a storage locker with a nice amount of computers. Got 26 complete towers all pre 2000, 2 dell poweredge servers, 30# box of finger cards,7 motherboards all high grade, 15 power supplies w/wires, 2 laser printers, 3 dot matrix printers, box of keyboards(no clicky ones) and mice,ups,40 hardsdrives, 2# of ram, and assorted processors. 5 processors are the 486 chips 5 were slot processors. Paid $150.
Next job is starting tomorrow- computer repair shop that is located in guys back room of his home. He stated that he is overflowing with scrap computers, video surveillance, lan systems, modems and the like. Then he asked me if i was interested in copper wire? I met with him last sunday and it turns out that he is also an inventor. The copper wire he spoke of he invented and is called" Lightning Strike Resistant Wire". He holds all the patents and was marketing it to airports in the south east for their runway lights. Problem was the cost to manufacture was something like 60k for 100,00ft. So his deals fell thru. Anyway we are getting three or four spools of the stuff, and all computers and electronics that we pull out from under his back porch... and from what i can see it is LOADED. Yesterday while clearing space for computers, he calls and said he put out a washer & dryer for us and that he is going to let us remove ALL the electronics that are in his shed and under the other side of the porch which he originally didnt want to get rid of. He said that he lived there for last 17 years and has been putting stuff under porch for the last 15years. I originally offered him $200 but said he only wants $100 and a clean job done.
Third one is a former scrapper who is no longer scrapping says he has 5 or 6 towers, some printers, batteries and some other things. Meeting with him Friday evening.



I will post some pics when I can, but right now I am going to hit the rack since we have an early start tomorrow.
Thanks to all here that have posted the information and knowledge that has lead me from curb shopping in March to being able to aquire jobs like these.

Suh-weet! Now I gotta be more into Craigslist. I have to admit I get lazy about posting on there.

Since the price drop im getting more activity through CL as well. Also going out this weekend and next week to sped my name at the storage auctions around here. Plus maybe hitting some garage sales. I need larger stock piles of brass and copper right now for October. Finding a Gaylord of cell phones or lith ion batteries would make my day as well. gratz BRASS

Yeah. i got my rent and bills paid till then as well lol.

Pretty sweet score. Keep us updated on what all gets pulled from that porch jub. Should be interesting to say the least.

Good job with craigslist man.

Sorry guys was in middle of giving you an update last night but fell asleep after tearing down some computers. Getting some really nice proc chips and all high grade mobos. All computers from the storage locker pick up are pre 2000. Also got 30# of pic cards already and only half way thru the towers. As far as the porch clean out filled up the back of dads pick up with wire, 4 spools of the wire the guy patented, 3 rolls of cat 5, and about 8 milk crates of various computer,extension and power supply cords with plugs that have nice big transformers inside. Still have to get the washer/ dryer and more wire and telecom/video hardware. When I get everything broken down I will post a bunch of pictures. Thanks again for everyone's info and knowledge that got me to this point.
