    The first of hopefully many.

    Got both my first Craigslist and FIXR lead today. They weren't large hauls, but I believe the exposure and networking are invaluable! Just shows that in some areas even the most basic of ads can produce results.

    I met a cl escrap seller last week, he is a home refiner and says he cant process ram and cpus so he said he will sell me all he has at $10 per pound, already bought 10 pounds from him, ceramic and black fiber were included, . Secondly it turns out he just needs motherboards for his process so i made a deal with him to sell all of my boards including midgrade for $2.25 per pound. He says he dont care what they look like and looked at my stockpile and approved it. Specifically asked him about cd rom and floppy drive boards, he said yes to the $2.25 on them as well. Just goes to show you dont know what kind of person/deal you are going to make tomorrow.

    Yes check out the buyers section to see what you should be comparing your local prices to. Mike.

    yeah, but where's he going to get cpus for 10 a pound? Sounds like he might come out on the winning side of that to me.

    Depends on the exchange rate, P4 or Pentium gold top, the devil is in the details which we are no aware of. Also I would like to pay less than $10 lb for memory and get more than $2.25 lb for MoBo's. Your statement that he "might" come out ahead is acurate. Mike.
