Received a call a couple weeks ago from a guy who saw my ad. Works in IT and had a bunch of stuff that he accumulated over the years that was now just taking up space in his parents house. A couple calls back and forth finally lead to me making the trip to see him yesterday afternoon. When I got there I discovered that apparently this guys dad called another scrapper to come and take the stuff and he was already there having a look. I went upstairs to where they were currently stored, met the other scrapper who was a nice guy and thankfully for me out of his element when it comes to recycling computers, after a couple minutes he said he would call them back tomorrow with his offer.
From our previous conversations he said that he would have it all sorted by the time I got there as he did not want to get rid of everything, of course he didn't get around to it. I was a little annoyed but kept that to myself, I am for the most part a very patient person I just felt as though there was no thought given to the value of my time. I'd say it all worked out fairly well though.
For $100 + $12 gas
12 Towers (only about half are complete, some are missing ram and hard drives)
14 of the Mini Dell computers, never seen these before and not exactly sure what I will get out of them, some are missing hard drives.
6 APC power surge battery back up power bars
Not pictured
A box of mixed hard drives, cd/dvd drives a few pci cards
Laptop
4 cable boxes
0.5lb Ram
7 P4 Metal back CPUs
50lbs lithium ion batteries
Few cell phones
3 motherboards
and a box of other goodies I am far to tired to sort through at the moment.
Hopefully will get a chance to process everything in the next couple of days.
I plan to use the components to make myself a working system to use solely for testing components before resale online (inspired by parttimescrapper lol)
PS Please ignore the mess that is my apartment lol
