    How many computers on a pallet? Are they complete? If they are complete I would try to stay around .27-.28 cents. Tell the guy you would want one pallet first to see what your profet would be. If that first pallet works out for you then tell the guy you need some form of contract (agreement) at that price. Some people are paying outragus prices for computers. my .02

I've been dabbling in reselling parts, but mostly just memory over 1GB I've been saving.
    Did everyone miss this quote or was it just me? Crockett, are you getting $3 per pound at LOCAL yard for LOW grade and MED grade boards? I would (almost) consider selling my green mb's at that price too if i could do away with the hassle and expense of boxing, palletizing, shipping etc. Certainly if they are buying the lower grade at that price, you can educate them to buy the higher grade for more? Seems to me that your yard is a bit more progressive and willing to pay fair prices. Nice find there in Seattle!

    I'm not completely sure yet. I like the idea of a contact.

    "lower grade" not low grade. What I meant by that was the least I get is $3.00 per lb. for my med. and high grade MBs. Doesn't matter the size or size of sockets. Thats the stuff I'd like to slang to the buyers on here. The server boards, telecom, etc. My yard actually pays $2.00 per lb for all MBs, but I talked them up to $3.00 just for me because I know my ****, and hip them to things from time to time.
