    Every time we get close to getting them done theres more lmao

    The new scale is 5,000X1 pound scale. This scale is very well built as the load cells are inside the cover (there is a bottom plate that is welded onto the bottom to keep everything safe.) It took 4 guys to pick it up and move it around and even then it was still a real...you know to move lmao.

    lol I don't like moving heavy things by myself I showed up to remove an old coke machine by myself this week.

    not as much fun as I thought... I got it set up in the garage now tho... even tho I don't drink coke very often.... and don't collect coke products.

    I like the size of your shop I have been trying to find one around here for a long time but they are too much. everyone wants 700 - 1100 for about the same size as yours a month.

    Yea your telling me...it costs me a nice penny but its worth it...over all my over head is around 3grand a month and thats not to bad (that covers my hired hands as well).

    Just do what we did before and use storage units...they work good until you forget what is in what unit...but that's like a savings plan....

    I don't blame you on the heavy moving thing...only thing I have to say...be careful...you only get your back once....

    I asked this in the questions and answers thread but what exactly do you guys do with the computers?
    Sorry if this is a blatantly obvious question. How much is pulled off? How many different parts and how much
    is each computer worth to you?

    This would be a very long post....so here is the simple ver.

    Everything in a computer is worth something but may not be worth shipping (look at a e-waste buyer price list like my self)

    so take them all apart and put each item into the box it would go into.The computer case is steel or "tin"

    A computer are 10 to 17+ each based on whats in them.

    I usually pay anywhere from $2 to $5 for them depending on whats in them or how far their stripped. Like Easy said there is anywhere from $10 to about $15 value in them if you sell the parts in larger quantities. Buyers don't want to mess with 1 or 2 lb but rather 20 to 2000 lbs. Then you'll get that occasional part that will have some extra value on Ebay or Craigslist.
