    First Big Score

    Started doing a few nw things in the last couple of months. First was I started advertising about 3 months ago. Has been pretty good, although I must admit I haven't had the time to put in like I have wanted, just been too busy. I did get some regular customers from the advertising, and am now picking up some things from their extended family. So i really cannot complain too much. My new thing is I have finally statred going to yard sales. This has been very succesful so far, the last 2 weeks ecspecially. Last week, I bought all remaining electronics and ewaste from a churches community sale. They were going to just load everything they had left on a truck and take to GoodWill. I got computers(5), small appliances, phones, cameras, a large amount of wires, VCR's/DVD's and other odds and ends. I even took all of their tube TV's(6) as I have a recycling center I can take after stripping. 3 car loads of stuff. Got all for $60, which was high but I threw in an extra $10 since it was a church. Saturday was my first real score. I talked with a lady at her yard sale asking if she needed any electronics taken, she said no but introduced me to her son. Any way, next day picked up 67 towers, for $200. 47 were complete, 20 missing harddrive only. Got a few wires, keyboards and a few extra Hardrives as well. All in all I hope I did OK.
