    Made a good deal today!

    I will tell y'all now, I don't get many computers to scrap so I always get excited when I get one or two. Anyway, today was trash day in the neighborhood and I came home before it was collected. I have been wanting to ask the trash guys how many computers they come across every week for a while now, but I haven't gotten a chance until today. So when they pulled up to my house, I went a head and asked the guy on the back about 'em and he said they get like 3-4 a week. Sweet! So now I should be getting them dropped off in my driveway every week hopefully along with DVR's, VCR's, Printers, and other low grade stuff but hopefully computers! In exchange for the electronics, I'm giving them cold Cokes and probably other goodies to try to give them an incentive to give them to me (I offered them cash, but they turned it down.) Anyway, I thought I'd share my little success story with y'all as I don't really ever have anything interesting things to share. I also scored a medical office scale from right down my street today so I may be able to actually buy stuff from people by the pound. Have a nice day y'all!



    EDIT: Also, a HUGE thanks to Mechanic688 for giving me the idea for asking the trash companies about computers. I would have never thought about asking them if I hadn't read your post about trash computers. Again, THANK YOU!
