    I get that a few times too. The best one was about 120 lbs motherboards, had about 10-15 486's on them.

    Now that is a nice bonus. I would think I may still offer a little bump to the guy.

    My good old dad used to have a lot of sayings.
    One of them was: "Always leave something in it for the next man".
    Surprising how well that works.

    Cheers

    that's why I love this business is the lazy people out there who throw away so much money. the best part is when people I hear complaining about there jobs or money and I tell them its just given away all you have to do is pick it up and what I do in an hour vs. what they do is amazing hell even picking up cans pays more that a lot of jobs and people say gross and I say ka ching lol
