The one thing I want to know is how he got the laptops and tote to stick to the side? Could really come in handy when loading the back seats of my truck. HAHA

I got probably 50-80 laptops, some complete and others in parts, he wanted over $100 for all of it. Story was his mover offered him over 100 bucks for all of them. Ya, sure he did. I nearly walked out empty handed but managed to snag them all for $80.

Just proves he lied about his mover offering him over $100. His mover was there today and was constantly coming and going, so why accept my 80 bucks and not his 100? Cause the whole story was BS. I didnt fall for it. Not for a second. Wasnt gettin good vibes with this whole deal from the start... especially after every question I asked, he looked at his partner and spoke to him in arabic. Hate when people do that... and cant stand when people try to scam you like that...

Hope I didnt over pay but we will see. Was no smokin deal by any means. If they where all complete id say heck yeah but alot where not. He also had some older desktops that he wanted $15 for. Not a chance. Also had some newer LCD screens. Offered $15 each, no dice. He wanted 40. Goin for 50 online. He knew I only bought scrap, I made that very clear, but kept pressuring me to buy his newer stuff, and kept complaining about my pricing. Didnt like this guy or his partner at all. No wonder they went out of business...

Anyways, I Will get a final count and weight and let you all know how I did.

I feel like you did pretty good on this deal. Depending on how complete the laptops are, you could off them for .40-.60 a #... I picked up 53 to do a test run for $135. I should get about $90 in boards, and another $90 in parts I'm selling... not counting the plastic, aluminum, CPUs, RAM, silver mylar, screens, blah blah blah blah.
