    First buy of computer components. How'd I do?

    I've been trying to get with this computer repair shop but he's never been open when I'm there. I introduce myself and ask if he's got somebody getting his junk (he doesn't). Short presentation on what I buy (complete towers, charge for monitors etc). He comes out with a large USPS Flat Rate box full of PCI cards and a few misc electronics and asks what I'll give him for it. Panic - I've never bought components but I'm not about to pass it up and lose a contact. So, I ask if he has any idea what he wants. He says $5 and I figure it has to be worth that. Then he says he's got twice that at his house. It's about 15 minutes away so he's going to bring them to the shop and call me when they're there. Then he asks if I've got any business cards and wants 3 or 4 for other repair guys he knows.



    There is 10.2 pounds of PCI cards and a few other things you can kind of see. What do you think?

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
