    Repair Shop Connection - First Purchase

    Wanted to share pics of the stuff I picked up this week from my new repair guy contact. If any of you were following the other post about buying eWaste, this guy and I got off to a rocky start. I was referring to him as "Mr. Arrogance". Now I have to concede that he really is not a bad guy after all. Plus he does know his stuff. I already learned a few things from him through our convos.


    First load. Didn't take it all on day one because it was hot and we were carrying it up from an old, awkward basement.
    There are 10 complete desktops. That tote on the left has a broken laptop, some mother boards, and other miscellaneous boards. Then there are two more mother boards in the center of photo bottom.

    Next day, I went back for this which I have sorted for these pics:


    Is there any value in the box of Windows software (upper left) ?



    Now I need to figure out if I paid too much. It was our first transaction, so I guess there is something to be said for that.
    I think I can probably sell some of it for more than scrap (like the NES top loader). I paid $80 for everything in these three pics.



    Yesterday I also went to storage auctions. Didn't get a locker because it was mostly crap. I did give one of the guys that bought a unit $5 for these two towers though




    Any input, good bad or otherwise is appreciated. Thanks, Cheryl
