Good Times Easy Money

So lately it has been to easy for me every computer I have been dismantling are having ceramic Pentiums Ive even been pulling some 486s on many gold caps. On top of that Im getting paid $2.80 a pound on motherboards. When I found a buyer on mo boards for that price I laughed and gladly sold them to them. This price includes small socket and everything.



Is anyone else this lucky on pricing?

If your getting $2.80 on all MBs, why don't you consider becoming a buyer. I'm sure many would consider sending SS MBS to you for about $2. That would leave you 80 cents per pound profit.

I had this happen at a pretty reputable scrap yard near us, my contact had quoted prices, and every time I went back the qualifications of the material changed. I ended up driving away with all the boards loaded back into my truck when I was quoted $1.80 for pretty much any green motherboard.
