    The is a Monster Load

    Hey Fellas, it's been a minute since I last posted, I was in the process of relocating. Anyhow, I hit the ground running in my new location. To make the story short, spotted a few 60" tvs by a dumpster, went by to check them out, noticed that all the good stuff was still attached. While getting them out the owner of the building came out and ask if I wanted some more, guess what my answer was? Anyhow, it turned out the hubby ran a pc/tv repair store, played his wife dirty and now she is cleaning house and I just happen to be the cleaner. After it is all said and done I have 14 large plastic containers of boards for both tv and pcs. It is overwhelming but in a good way. I'm thinking of eBay, tv/PC repair shops, and possibly other scrap for gold processors to off load this stuff. By the way, each container is about 200lbs. Let get your feedback and ideas.

    On the tv boards check the capacitors befoe you sell them, I made that mistake once.

    Congrats on a great pick up try to get the guy to get leads on other repair shops and help them clean out their back rooms. Mike.

    I literally just picked up yesterday and I was so tired from the pickup, it's all sitting in my trailer in front the house right now. I will post pics once off loaded.

    Well done TR.

    Same also to you Namvet. You'll have to make a "My first score!" thread once you pick things up!

    Turns out most of what I got will be considered low grade after copper, aluminum, and other valuables are removed. I guess I will have stuff to keep me busy for a while.
