Sounds like a great day, Congrats

Already stripped half of them. Only things missing from a few were a few ram sticks and 2 HDDs. Everything else was there. Even got a decent sized P2 Server. Average amount of cards have been 2-3 larger ones due to ISA sockets.

Good job! Persistance pays. I come across too many guys who only want to throw up an ad on Craigslist and play the waiting game and don't want to do the legwork in the community to get their name out there. I actually had a guy call me earlier to get my prices and then put an ad up shortly after with the very same prices he got from me! Guys like that are just in it for a quick buck and dont last very long. Most people are more willing to sell to someone like myself who makes an appearance in their comp shop on a regular basis. It's just as much about the relationships you build by doing good face to face business as it is about the money you are willing to pay. Customer service goes a long way.

Some HP Compaq DC7800s with some E6750s in them. They were not doing me any good sitting there.

I'd check those IBM chips

Another nice pick up Andrew way to wheel and deal. I hope you didn't bend any pins on your gold top ceramics. Like Bear said check ebay on the IBM chips. I just sold a Cyrix 6x86 for $30.

oops, gotta see if I can straigten them lol

Whooeee. Nice work Andrew! That's a nice haul of Gold right there brother. Keep up the great sleuth'n. lb

That 2nd store sounds like it could be a gold mine. Make sure your there every week like clock work, when they see that you will be there to take thiere junk they might start giving you better stuff. Just take everything that they give you even if it's just steel cases, you'll be saving them from having to haul it away. Nice score and good luck.
