    Nice ad. I never thought about putting in that I prefer a larger quantity. I think I might borrow a bit of the wording

    Depends on how much YOU can make on them. Prices for boards are different everywhere. Unless you sell to forum members. I advertise 3-4 bucks. Try and get a few comps. Even if you have to pay a little more and weigh the stuff you pull. Thats the best way to find out how much you can make off one comp and then decide what you wanna pay based on that!
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    Great time to hit up the IT Professionals in your area. Not the repair shops but the companies that service dozens of small/medium size business. I have been getting LOTS from them every week. They have a lot of companies looking to remove old equipment before the end of the year. Also, XP support is ending in a few months and the few companies that have not upgraded are being almost forced to.

    These shops generally are not set up for walk in traffic. Call/email first. They generally dont deal with reselling used equipment to their clients so they give away LOTS of good stuff dirt cheap. Picked up 4 dual core laptops and 11 dual core desktops for $3 ea. More than likely they will physically destroy hard drives but still well worth it.

    I'm thinking about paying by the pound cause at a set price you paying the same if it's full or half stripped, where as by the pound would be cheaper the more stuff has been removed.
