Different payday

Picked up a 60 some inch projector tv from a local bar and grill yesterday. They called me bout 15 min after putting my Craigslist ad up. Said it quit working earlier that day. Told them I would take it, but had to charge $10 to cover proper recycling cost. He tells me not a problem, come on over. I get there and he tells me how bout we change the deal a little. My thoughts are "Oh great, now what". He hands me a 10 dollar bill, a gift certificate for $25 and says "meal is on the house tonight"!! NICE!!! They have pretty good food, so I couldn't complain at all. Pretty good night in my opinion.



One part about it did put a frown on my face a little. While talking to the guy, he tells me that about 2 months ago they got rid of about 30 some computers for scrap. I asked what they got for them. He says they hauled them to a place about 40 minutes away that just took them. I was sure to let him know I could beat that easily.

good news- bad news eh

I get those conversations all the time too. "Gee wish I had known you wanted this stuff 2 weeks ago, wouldn't have thrown out that ten pound box of old ram"!

Makes me want to start mining the landfill sometimes.

we have pulled some nice proceswes out of projection tv's

Looking forward to processing it. Curious to see whats inside. It may be a while though. I got so much stuff to go through right now, who know when I'll get to it. Colder weather and the lack of a heated building have kept the processing low, but the "to process" pile keeps getting bigger!

Food allways taste better when it's free. Sounds like a good deal to me.
