    Some jackass kept putting it on auto bid so i almost got to my max on my amount i was gonna pay but he stopped at the Florida card price of 3$ a lb, Thanks to e-wasted after i clean them im getting 4.40$ lb and the RAM should be all profit. i cant wait to see how much is there im just waiting on the call to go grab it. Its not like i killed it on this one but im happy with it. after shipping and paying my investor ill come out with like 40 bucks in my pocket plus RAM.

    RAM is good. I always look at my deals like that as well. I stash the RAM and CPUs to the side until I have a good bunch of it.

    If i didnt have my power bill due i would have sold the RAM lot on ebay but Que sera sera, im happy getting 14$ a pound for it. so far im at 210$ just in ram. 5 or 6 gold top processors and 70 pounds of unclean cards.

    O yeah PH i literally do have a chest just for my processors and RAM. i only got like 400 processors in it so far so its not picture worthy but give me till next year and my new avatars gonna be a few hundred pounds of processors in a foot locker

    yeah and i already got plans to refine the gold out of them myself too. This summer im going home to work in the welding shop with my dad so we can make a forge and ship it back up here. Was gonna do it sooner but i really dont want the cops breaking down the door saying i have a danm meth lab in my yard/ garage.

    Its gonna be a fun project and another memory of my dad cause who knows how many more ill get. I almost lost him to a brain tumor 2 years ago, Doctor that is top in his field in miami keep his scans of my dads' head on the wall to show other patients that no matter how bad it is you can still make a miraculous recovery. well my dad now has cleavage instead of a forehead :-p

    That sounds like a nice plan!

    More power to your dad! Sounds like he has a caring son with values in the proper place.

    More like the jackass son who was sitting around going to college and playing video games for 6 years, complaining that there wasnt any jobs to work or people hiring (still isnt). Found this web page and BAM i created a danm job and get paid more to boot. Yeah after his surgery i went to visit him, now my dads a old school stoner but the mom is the dea agent of the house (great combo) i had known that he smoked for a long time but never talked to him about it. well sitting on the couch he was complaining of nausea and couldnt sleep so i suggest that we get high. Since then i have never been closer to my father. Would also like to say i have severe nerve damage and constantly have muscle tremors and i smoke because of it and the meds that the doctors were giving me was slowly killing me with all the side effects. I dont want a stoner bashing party going on here.
