    well that is a problem. are you gonna break down the towers or just turn them in as shred ? . due to drastic price drops . shipping costs etc.

    Looks like some good quality old stuff. You can send them to me!

    You can just send me the two in the middle at the very least.

    Shipping to CALI would be a killer on those

    Ignore that guy out west. I'm closer. My sandbar isn't far.

    Even with shipping an lower pricing one would do better sending to a buyer then they ever would just taking it to the yard.

    Silly people! Save up enough boards, and it remains profitable to ship it to a buyer.

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    You got towers, and you're complaining‽

    Even with prices down, there's a good chunk of change there! If somebody dumped that in my yard, I'd be pretty happy!
