New client, New equipment, Best day ever!

Well my wife went out today and did a pick up at a new client. She paid $55 for the lot and sent me some pictures while i was at work. I looked at the larger server, looked it up and HP's website said it was a Intel Pentium 3 / Xeon server with unto 4 processors. She only paid $15 for this particular server.

Not too shabby but could be better. Anyways still a decent score.



Here is a pic of the server.



So while i was taking things out. i got to the ram and it had 18 sticks out of a possible 24. Im talking to my wife and am like hey look at all this ram, must be 1/2 a pound. This is great.

Well i start looking for the processors and say. I cant see where they are they must be under these expansion cards. So i take one out and my explodes with excitement. I pull the other and my mind is blown. I ran over to the table ripped off the heat sinks and found these guys.





It took me over a year to get 4.. And i get 4 in one day!!!! My wife has all the luck!

Anyways i need some advice. The company has 100+ computers and a bunch of servers in Texas. If i had to pay for them to ship them here do you think i would still be able to make money off the deal?

What would it cost for say 8 pallets of equip from Texas to NY?

Use a LESS FREIGHT company. I cant think of it right now, but there is a post some where, with a link to one that a few buyers on here use.

AWESOME! Saturday I was kinda in the same boat. I got four in my load Saturday and that's one more than I found my entire time collecting. I know the feel of excitement you experienced! That's the feeling of striking gold! Congrats on your find.

Droz, how about if you give someone in Texas the score and collect a commission for it, that way you don't lose out and the score gets picked up by a responsible scrapper.

maybe time for a road trip ; )

Pentium Pro, and P3 Xeon are 2 very different beasts, be sure you know what you're getting. The photo you posted is an old Compaq server

I found the link I had saved. International Shipping Company | Worldwide Package Shipping | Nex

They are great from what I hear.

Already thought of that it's an option i might pursue. The only thing is they expect to get paid for the equip, because that is what i do. So having some one else buy it in Texas might not be an option, of if they dont buy it at the prices i have set it could upset my client and hurt my rep here in NY. So it's currently a last resort.

Um Easy would be my first choice for texas buyers. I'm sure you could work everything out quickly. Its his bread and butter.

I use freightquote.com I tryed going directly to YRC they wanted $1000 for a 1000 pound pallet threw freightquote the same pallet was $380.
