Hey all,
This is my first post in this part of the forum, so hello and thanks for all the great info first of all. I am trying to get more into escrapping right now, mostly because of a lack of space and the 120+ degree summers tend to discourage me from spending too much time tearing apart ac units in my driveway. I also build custom pcs from working parts (I love being able to just switch out a power supply and have a working desktop!)

Anyways, I think I might have my first contact with a supply of computer hardware. Its a guy selling cpus on craigslist that also has a bunch of nonworking parts. So how do you guys purchase your parts? Do you bring a scale and pay by the pound? Or do you know the approximate value of each individual part? I'm not asking what the actual prices are, just how you go about converting a price per # from a buyer on the forum to a price you will pay to a local supplier.



Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
