    is this worth it?


    I am going tomorrow to pick up 5 wyse winterm terminal systems for free! The terminals all power on and work. Above picture is the catch. I have to remove a couple small brush piles. Also he has a zero warrior military grade case for carrying similar equipment.
    So what do yall think? Jump all over it? He also may have other items I can purchase. I'm gonna do it just wanna see what you guys think.

    those terminals are scrap value only, none have resold, same deal with the case

    the case and terminals are worth less than $100 all together, i would take the job, you never know what else he might have or what he might have in the future for you, leave a few business cards with him to keep and give out
    I buy and sell all types of scrap and escrap. I buy specialty and hard to sell escrap. I buy resale items. PM me or contact me at jghilino@hotmail.com
    I AM ACTIVELY BUYING ESCRAP OF ALL TYPES. BOARDS, RAM, CPUS AND MUCH MORE

    Yea. That is what I'm thinking. Networking is key. And ill prolly keep the case for myself. Considering its many uses and durability.

    i put a steel plate on top of them to make them easy to find with a metal detector, but the old system of using maps and measurements works well also for caches

    Ok. So I made the pickup. Got the 5 wyse computers and the box. I think I could sell the box easy but I may keep it. He had some other stuff. But it wasnt all together and I had to go. He had other computers I did see. They all looked like office desktops but missing ram and hdd. He kept talkin about the windows COA on the other computers. Which he said could be used again. Thats not right is it? There is a difference between coa and key. Correct?
