    the fun of scrapping with me and my pics

    we all love pics and I have yet to start my own thread of my scrapping adventures so I figured I would have some fun sharing all in one place. even the misadventures can be enlightening.
    so maybe first a reintroduction:
    my name is Travis and I have been scrapping since I was a kid and my love of toys and such things needed money. as I grew so did the ways I scrapped, which ewaste I started about 5yrs ago but really only in the last few and because of this forum have I been able to grow and make the money I do now.
    it has become an obsession now because of all the stuff out there I see $$$$$ everywhere and I am always clamering to try and grab it all lol. which is good its fun and hard work and passes lots of time and gives me the time and money to do so much.
    anyway not to ramble on in one post a lot of me and what I do will be apart of this thread, so I hope you enjoy and happy scrapping.

    those are a small pile I get at least 300week most I have to pile up for later which gets daunting after awhile not as much as crts though lol I have what I call a laptop wall which is a long running joke with friends but will post a pic of the current wall which is smaller now that I have broken down a lot and with the new screen buyer I am going to test a load to see what I can make but as for were I get a lot from auctions but most laptops I get are regulars and other people I pick up from or dropped off clist is amazing for this

    my first 486 like my first pro was awesome to find but what made it better was this one I sold with a board not knowing how to test them for $65 and even though I have got a lot since then every time I get one I still feel like a kid getting a funnel cake at the carnival

    I took this after a bag of cords were dropped off when I use to cut off the ends to save the prongs but now I save them in almost Gaylord sized boxes for a buyer I have for these but it takes a lot before I sell them

    a few it was a mix wish it was worth more but even one of our great buyers on here did not want them for resale and was funny cause we joked about how much phone wire we sit on

    the fun of scrapping with me and my pics

    Kinda speechless at these pics lol. Great scores man! I'd pay my computer builder/repair buddy to get some going again cheap and resell the ones that are fixable. Amazing how people get rid of computers over the smallest things
