Pictures of my most recent BIG ONE

Machine, I do understand what you mean bro, like I said it must be a regional thing, b/c I can't stop the calls from coming in and I am always getting huge loads. I usually have no less than 80 towers at a time to break down(about 150 right now due to time constraints) . However if the opportunity arises for me to purchase stuff........ I'd be all over it. In fact I just got a tip from my pastor friend of a man next town over that is interested in switching his business over to me if the price is right :) You can BET i'll make it right! So I guess what I'm saying is that I wont advertise payment ever..... just run with the free pick-up angle. It is working for me, with alot of repeat business and alot of referrals. But if I needed to seal a deal with cash I'll do it in a heartbeat!

The one I go to is called the ReStore, part of ReSource. I think they have several places throughout the state. Don't quote me on this, because I'm not totally positive, but I think the state legislation passed a couple years ago involving EWaste (that made it free for citizens to dispose of 24/7) actually requires them to accept stripped out monitors. But I still try not to abuse it... so far I've been fortunate and haven't had to take too many CRTs. People are pretty good about properly disposing stuff around here, and the state has "free chemical/radioactive/ewaste drop off" days a couple times a year. I actually saw a sign for one today near Montpelier. They're quite popular. In a way that's not a good thing for us lowly "EScrappers", but it's great for the environment in general I suppose. Lots of that stuff we wouldn't want anyways, and just might end up buried or tossed in a brook otherwise.
Anyways, by all means, hit them up! Bring any lower value working stuff you just don't want to mess with as well, they definitely seem happier to deal with me when I do. Being a local I see that as rather important... too bad they refuse to sell me any of their "donated" obsolete goodies :( They insist it's against the law, though as far as I know all they'd have to do is remove the hard drives to comply. They probably do exactly what we want to do with it, and get paid similar if not more.

yea hypo good point always have a free pick up ad going while buying from certain clients.

Free is of coarse always good and depending where you are, they very well may be plenty to be had. Like stated above, paying can make for more consistent, larger loads and it also changes the expectations you can have since you become a customer.
