    I just love how we made back the money off pretty much just the wire and batteries.

    -186 lbs of Ins 2
    - 264 lbs of Batteries
    - 180 lbs in steel.

    = 295$

    Still to be paid on
    - 374 lbs office phones

    Do you get any computers with dual core processors in them or like sata hard drives? I might be interested in buying them if you do.

    Hey Dune!! do you sell your phones to Arcoa and do you take the cord that goes from the phone to the receiver off before you sell them. Do they buy the recievers too.

    I took the cords off and included the receivers as they are part of the phone. Still haven't received a email saying anything was wrong with doing that.

    Do they buy the hand held phones or just the desk top phones? Sorry about all the questions I guess I sould call Todd. I'm still waiting for some gas money to come in for some stuff that I sent out. I'll have a load ready when I get the money, I'll be intouch.

    They take both phone types. I try to relay the info i got from meeting the VP of Arcoa that one time. Its a massive learning curve to be able to sell to them.
