Yeah He did ebay alot of stuff but what im breaking down now are computers he never got around to. The guy was sitting on like a 200 computers and telephone equipment from a company clean out and was selling it the past 3 years. From what i gathered he really got screwed on his pricing to. so him getting sick of the pile was our gain. He did tell use bout one of one really old server that was very collectible, but someone had it shipped to AZ. And im all ready sick of all the screws on these.

i just re read your title, if he's ebayed this stuff already, unless he wasn't running on all 3 cylinders, it might be just scrap. I had some of those hdd trays 6-8 years ago, and they weren't worth anything then. Still be worth checking what hdd's are inside them, maybe they've made a comeback some reason. People are bringing back older systems more often now, and most times newer hardware won't work on them as well. Probly not worth building a warehouse for, but still maybe worth giving a peek to see?

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.

that bottom one is old eisa full length add in cards, be worth googling to see if they're worth more than scrapScrapyahherd and I Went and hit one of my bigger jobs 2 locations around 1000 pounds of scrap computer equipment. sadly most of it is in office phones but man did we get some good stuff. heres the start of the pic train.

actually those are ISA's, see the single lil slot? 2 rows of fingers? The earlier EISA has an extended row and a second slot. Minor differences, but differences just as well. I do believe, as in anything else, the later versions would be more cheaply made(they call this progress) I also think each progression in manufacturing used a thinner layer of conducting elements, as new tech processes emerged, even until today, as newer boards have almost nothing in them, but they are tech savvy

5 hours later that truck bed full of stuff is broken down sorted and ready to go. Next victims please :-D tomorrow im going medieval on 400 pounds of phones. also got a 55 gallon drum stuff full of insulation 2. Im leave the ups units over at Scrapyaherds' one of the suckers weighted 150 pounds O.O gonna be some killer brass copper and batteries right there.

I'm sure you have but did you check ebay on the phones? I'm selling this http://www.ebay.com/itm/230777602596...84.m1555.l2649 right now and I'm glad I looked it up! The Norstar phones that go with this system sell very well too. I've found that pretty much any decent phone system will sell on ebay, be it old or new. Just a thought!

I get $0.26 a pound for UPS units...As is with or without batteries. I only get $0.20 a pound for transformers, $0.14 a pound for low grade boards, and Unknown on the batteries. So i take them things in whole. Took in over 500#'s of UPS/APC units in my Altima...poor car hated the trip the whole way!
