    server profit break down:

    IBM military grade GSA approved

    mixed lot from U1 to cart servers (300) and up

    7508 lbs



    completely broken down and every piece sold down to the fans

    gross $4112

    cost of break down $500 (should have been about $750)

    freight $518

    net profit $3094.60

    or .54687 per lb

    non GSA servers will be much less.

    any one buying servers remember .35 to tops of .55 is going to be your gross - cost.per lb. + a he88 of a lot of work. It took a crew 70 + hours to tear these down.
