    some times lots are a heart breaker, most here will remember I walked away from a 30 ft horse trailer full of 1980/90 vintage puters over $1 ea. a month or later we bought 2000 servers for .12 a lb and 6000 hard drives at .12. got them all at a net 30. day credit as they are delivered.

    as more, less informed people, get into the "NEW GOLD RUSH" The competition will drive the buy price up, while the quality of recovery in newer computers will drive the sell price down. the above is a great example of that rhose servers will now sell on auctions for 4 times what we paid for them.

    when I first got into this companies were paying me to take computers.

    Somebody already took the keyboards, mice and power cords.

    Only the computers... he has somebody else that is getting CRT monitors... He has around 80-100 if anybody needs a few.

    There are NO cords. The ones that were attached were cut. The others unplugged

    If you were under 300 I think you got a great deal.

    Yeah, I would have jumped all over that for 200.00. Good deal and have fun breaking everything down.

    200 is a great price broken down to a per unit price you payed about what i pay when someone only has 3-5 in one spot. I might have gone up to 250 for that lot if i had to. maybe more if i liked what was in them

    That would be a darn nice problem to have. Good job and a great price.

    Might check with a couple of computer shops to see if they might want a couple of nice ones for shelf filler for about $20.-25 ea or so.
