That $20 per server makes me feel better about last week...I bought two dead Dell servers from an associate for 15 a piece, and was afraid I paid too much. I also bought 6 Dell towers for $5 a piece.

Just remember you are the BUYER...you CONTROL the deal. He needs you more than you need him.

There is a good chance that he will get insulted. You need to keep your cool, be polite and suggest that he price around on it. Tell him if he would like to talk again after that, you will be happy to do business with him.

Really depends on how big they are. I baught a sun server at an auction a few weeks ago and paid $20 for it. It was packed full of goodies and weighs 125 pounds. So im guessing its at least 10 in shred after tearing it down.
