    I paid $400 for this. Did I do ok?

    Couldnt resist the title Got my first large business account for computer scrap. This will be a rotating account they assure me. While I was there made contacts with 3 more people who work there who want to sell me thier personal stuff. Sad part is its suppose to snow tomorrow so I had to go buy a tarp to cover the trailer.[IMG][/IMG]

    14- printers
    10- Dell Power Edge servers
    1- scanner
    4- Max attach NAS4100
    5- battery backups
    4- fax machines
    36- crt monitors
    3- copier machines (floor models)
    1- commercial paper shredder(dahle)

    Awesome.

    You seem like one of the hardest working guys around, between your full-time work, having a family and everything you put into scrap.

    Really glad you hit a big one!

    Wow, great haul. I am wondering if that commercial paper shredder could shred the disc's from hard drives. If it did it could be the answer to total destruction of the hard drive information. Mike.

    ps don't get too busy you can't open that little box I sent you, Mike.

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked
