    This is a E scrappers dream come true. If he's giving you this stuff and may seem a little hesitant to give you more, I highly recccomend you turn on the charm, show tremendous gratitude and even offer him something in return. You need to take all opportunities to get as much as you can. Great score and good luck on the rest. Continue to keep us posted.

    Holy cow.

    What a thing you got going on there!

    Like a bunch of others have said, throw some money at him. Treat it like a business deal (not saying you havent). In my experience, when i run acrossed something like that, when i act all "omg thank you *cry* thank you omg" that doesnt get you anywhere. When you treat it like a business deal, understand whats there, and offer money for it, then both parties are clued into what the heck is going on.

    Yes, ignorance is bliss when it comes to what you want and dont want your customers too know. BUT, if they're knowledgable, and YOU gave them that knowledge, YOU will be the guy he comes too in the future, or talks about to his other friends/business friends.

    Sounds like a blast!

    used to you could sell those zip drives in lots of 5, not sure about it now. I'd still watch for the 250MB ones and see what you could do with them, they're no doubt still the hardest to find
