I can just see the danger of an escillating price on therse if the 'norm' now is a fiver, what will it be in 12 mths when a few hundred other scrappers decide to try the same?

Don't take this the wrong way...and sorry for the thread hi-jack, I just rekon you could be making it alot cheaper on yourself

Thanks.

Considering we were on the scrapyard grounds unloading our trucks onto the shred pile. I had $20 bucks cash on me at the time in 5's. My yard pays $.10 per pound for shred steel. S0 since one was a server and the other 2 were desktops I was guessing the weight to be about 70 lbs total. So i wanted to make it worth it to them to say yes and sell them to me and not sell them as shred. I wanted a no brainer on their part. I gave them a card as well for future sales. I try to pay $3 to $5 dollars per tower now that im looking to buy them. SO I was looking at it as setting up future sales as much as making a quick few bucks off the 3 PC's.
