Biggest ewaste load to date..

I've done most of my scrapping from curbco but I've put an ad on craigslist about purchasing towers and hauling ewaste. I've got a few dead computers here and there but nothing big, the other day a guy calls me first thing he asked was if I spoke spanish, thankfully I do. He was telling me he does clean outs and recently did a school where he got a few towers and has some others that he saved from apartment clean outs etc. Met with him this morning and picked this up..







I know it's hard to see, haven't even unloaded it all yet, but it's a little over 40 towers and about 15-20 laptops. Had to strap some of the towers to the top of the Explorer. I'm sure this is small stuff to most people on here, but I'm part timing this and I'm pumped over here.

Nice score man. Keep it up.

Appreciate it toula. To let you know the Dells were gone when I passed by though it wasn't a waste of a trip. Picked up a Sony Wega DLP that should have some good boards in it and an Insignia flat screen. Unfortunately it was coming down last night so if they worked when they were put out, they shouldn't anymore. Appreciate the heads up once again.

by the way what does your craigslist ad look like I was running one for a little while for paying for them, I would just like to compare my list to yours

Nothing fancy at all. I just started this and as of right now pay $5 a tower and any other electronics I'll take free. I've gotten a few calls, but some I've turned down cause they were too far for just one computer and some were too far for a CRT TV, which honestly almost anything is too far just for a CRT heh.

$200 for the lot. I advertised at $5 per and the guy guesstimated 40 towers, which turned out to be more plus he didn't even mention the laptops when he contacted me.

Its always nice to fill your vehicle, glad your getting some, have fun with the dells!! Way to much plastic, lol

cool! I like them old Apples

I'll post it as soon as I get off work. CL is a banned website here, luckily this forum isn't haha. If you go to CL New Orleans I should have it up in the computer section and items wanted section. The subject should be along the lines of Will buy old or broken PCs + haul away other electronics.

cool post the link up thanks

Sorry for the delay, as soon as I get home I'm trying to knock this stuff out. Here's the link..

Will buy broken desktops + haul off other electronics

Nothing fancy as I'm pretty new at this and from scrapping a few computers prior I figured $5 is a good base price, especially in case parts are missing (HD, RAM, etc.) I actually picked up 14 more towers, 3 laptops, a CRT, 2 LCD monitors and a 27-32 inch flat screen TV today from a customer from the CL ad. Little by little just trying to get my name out there.
