Is paying .47 lb too much for old white computers and servers - Page 2

Unless you can fix up and resell, don't buy @ $.47. If you can fix up- part them out. $.47 is a steal. I had access to 10 pallets worth, bid $.25 lb yard owner laughed. "You can't compete with China". Was the answer I got.

well let em go to china then, if i cant make money on it i wont buy it period.

The missing 20 dollar bill was just his^^^ tactic to get the guy to come back. Probably with another load. Lol smart.

Dude that was a joke. Calm down.

16 devided by .8= 20 It take 20 of those cpu's to make a pound.
