    Thumbs up I almost gave up on craigs list...

    I was doubting my adds on craigslist. In particular I had one up for buying dead/old computers/laptops. I was getting very few people willing to part with there 15 year old towers for $4-5... then I got a call this morning. It was a guy who owns a computer repair shop 5 miles down the road. He said I saw your add, are you still buying? I said well sure! He has 10 old towers, 40 old laptops, several kb's, mice, older tablets. I said sure I can handle that lol. Then he says oh I have a box of RAM, 100-200 pcs., mostly older 512mb and lower, I said well I can offer $5/lb if your interested, I'll find out tomorrow if he is when we meet up. I also offered to pay $1/stick for 512MB and 1G stick as I need them for my computer rebuild business. Made my day, very glad to have a repeat customer. He said his normal buyer moved away and has been looking for a new guy. Well I'm more than happy to be that guy!

    I will put up picks of my first pick up tomorrow.

    Sounds like a good deal. I had several replies like that, many became regular customers, who call every few months.
