    Good morning for me @ CurbCo today

    I went out this morning as an afterthought (it was way cold and I still have a fair amount in the garage) after dropping my daughter off at school and in 30 minutes had a minivan full. A couple of vacuums, a tool box, two miter saw tables (aluminum tops, don't ya know,) and at one stop - 2 complete desktops, about 20-25 lbs of wires, 3-4 finger boards, a couple of hard drives, some networking equipment, a ton of peripherals, and an aluminum broom handle. The neighbor came out and told me the father & son there are computer nuts and are always going through stuff. I gave the neighbor my card and he said he'd be happy to pass it along. Broke it all down and then some, came in for lunch and check in with you fine folks, and checked my voicemails. Guess what? A computer store owner that I have a good relationship with passed my information along to a fellow who has a truck full of desktops and monitors. Not too excited about the monitors, but hey, the guy called me and wants me to come out and pick it up. Guess what I'll be doing this afternoon?

    And don't forget all the $$ on the low grade board.

    Good morning for me @ CurbCo today

    I'm normally at $4-8 on tvs and monitors, which is really the bulk of what this guy had. Also some directv boxes, old fax machines, and broken power tools. Full minivan and I didn't have to go out looking for it, so I'm not even close to complaining.
