    Latest pick up, Wow!

    About a week ago I picked up from a new customer who owns a cpu repair show. He wants me in every two weeks to buy and then recycle all their plastic, cardboard and other misc junk for free. I recently bought 30 incomplete towers, laptop steel brackets for screens, cpu's, a hand full of ram and heat sinks with fans attached. They busted my chops about how I was low balling on steel price but everything else was just fine. The owners' assistant told me there was a huge pile of ram and couldn't wait for the steel brackets to be weighed.
    I told them I would pay .05/lb and they were not happy. After weighing everything my total was $80. They had 30 lbs of steel and who knows how many hours wasted in tear down. There were two other boxes in the corner that I just wrote off,''as nothing without looking. I am now processing these two boxes and holy wow cow. There was 5 lbs of gold ram, 2 lbs of silver ram 1 1/2, 3 pounds of finger cards. Got all that for free.
