ok so i have been working on this ewaste thing for a little while now, picking up some gear here and there, and just learning as i go, well i get a call on my craigslist ad about ewaste, the guy has run a computer shop for 10+ years and needs to clear out his back office that he had been throwing old parts in, and wanted me to come look at the stuff said he wanted $1000 for everything, this seemed a bit steep to me so i put it off for a few days and finally went yesterday to take a look, and HOLY COW man this guy was serious i stopped counting at 150 towers, and boxes and boxes of drives, cables, laptops, cpu's, memory, monitors (crt and flatscreens) ect. ect. my lot where i tear down scrap looks like a bomb went off right now, but its cool cause its been a slow month and i have been looking for something to make some money on i should be able to keep busy for a little while.
just wanted to share like i said its been a slow month and i have been drawing on some reserves, but this should make some money as so far all the system i have torn down have been 486 and early pentium timeframe i even founf two pentium pro's so far, and i havent even worked all the way through the first trailer load yet.
estimated totals so far
200+/- towers
40+/- laptops
half dozen boxes of MB's, finger cards, memory, cpu's, HD's, cd/dvd drives, and lcd monitors (filled a long bed chevy s-10)
miles of power cords and power supplies for laptops and printers.
and a dozen or so crt monitors
the trailer in the picture is 18ft long for reference
