I went to a local computer shop the other day to deliver some video cards and a sound card and the guy said he was tired of tripping over all the parts towers in the back and could I help him haul them out to my truck. Of course I said sure thing, not only that, all you have to do is point and they are gone. I had to make two trips and ended up with 17 towers, two laptops, a few dead power supplies, ram and cards. I also took two monitors and some cardboard boxes that I can use for shipping. I've been getting a list of needed parts from him and checking my stock. When I find something he needs, I just drop it by no charge. Last week I gave him some 133 ram and before that five DVD RW drives. We both believe we're getting the best of this deal so it's working great.
He told a friend of his about me and he called me needing a Dell 24 pin power supply. I happened to have one and gave it to him. He said he's going to gather up some junk for me also.
While I was loading this load I got a call from another shop that had a customer with some dead towers who wanted to get rid of them. There were actually two towers, five monitors several keyboards and mice, two UPS and two loose 1 Gig ram. This was from a peanut buying point that was clearing out old stuff. That gave me an idea so I checked with another buying point and they gave me three towers 7 office phones one monitor and an electric pencil sharpener all dead due to a power surge.
Another business on the same street had the power surge hit them too, so I'm going to contact them next week.
In all this has been a pretty good week.
