I need some help with a quote on this huge lot. - Page 2

Well from the pics I don't see 150 towers that's a big swing 100-150 its a long way to travel for a pick up witch they really don't care about they want to know what they are going to get, I would low ball them say 400.00 for the lot as long as there is at least 100 towers,its a nice score do not seam to anxious see what they say about your offer they might just tell you ok come get them.you can always come up if you want.

What if the business have their own Purchase orders, fill one out with just the title of recycling computer or something and leave the total blank and give me a copy, would you guys proceed to their destination then? Or is that still not good enough?

I just offered 425-450, I'm going to check each individual pc to see what components it has. If there isn't near the amount of 100 to 150. I'm going to charge him atleast 80 bucks off of the total that it comes out too, with the 100-150 quote I sent, I only took off 50 bucks for gas as I calculated the mileage, the vehicle we would be taking, would be my dads 2010 Chevy Express 2500, it would get 13mpg pulling our trailer. I calculated it, a round trip cost would be $72 at $3.5 a gallon for gas. I'd be benefitting if there was 100 towers so I can spare the extra $22 bucks if he has what he says he has.

If this pulls through, this will be my biggest load yet, probably the much better score, I don't know about topping the $1000 worth of printers I pulled out of staples dumpster, since I didn't invest anything in them, but this will be my first big E-waste load.

I'd use caution on a lump sum, unless it was made while standing there ready to load. Otherwise, once the lump sum is agreed upon, the longer it sits until you get there, the more apt "things" could possibly begin to "dissappear"

When I offer a lump sum, I make it contingent on the fact everything is there I was told was there. If it's not, the price is no longer valid an I start deducting. An yes..I check my towers.

It may piss someone off but, I figure..you told me there would be 70 towers, with ram and HDs. I get there and find out there isn't then you pissed me off, wasted my time, and tried to hoodwink me. So therefore I deduct at that point. They don't like it, they can find another buyer. Lie to me and you've broken your word an therefore I don't have to honor said offer.

Yea..I'ma jerk like that.

Edited to add: This is why I ask questions over the phone. Is the ram there? HDs? MB? etc. It saves a lot of problems, lest for me.

Sirscrapalot - Giggity giggity goo!

Free?? or just pay for the steel, chances are the person doesn't realize how much it is really worth

Yeah the guy told me that the hard drives are there and everything, I gave him a price for the towers basically saying that everything is there. When I get there, I'm going to go through the load, checking and counting. I ain't getting screwed.

Guy replied back to me saying he likes my prices. He didnt like my gas charge. He said let me know if u want the job. I waved my gas charge Cruz I'll make it back in the towers. I pretty much got this deal in the bag.

Yep got it. Were prolly gunna have to pick it up in the after noon late next week.

Good job!

Going for it Wednesday. Can't wait.

Nice job Kochy..an congrats on getting the deal done.
