Break it smaller and hide it in various closets... that's what I do for now... lol. My wife loves that I make money out of apparent nothing, BUT hates the mess and clutter that comes with it...

Congratulations. You've got to "sell" her like I did with my wife. The more junk I get, the better she likes it. What's really ironic is that the more I SPEND, the better she likes it. She's become a firm believer in "It takes money to make money".
I'll be pulling for you.
People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

EXACTLY!! lol
@George, I live in a two bed room apartment and have a 2 year old daughter, my space is limited to say the least
kinda went through it here is what I come across so far.
keyboards- maybe 6
mouse-5 or 6 (3 brand new in package)
phones-5 or 6
lcd monitor-1 acer maybe 20" looks in good shape
crt monitors-3
time clock-what is left of a kronos time clock, will yield some high grade board
hard drives-8
power supplies-6
lots of new in the packaging wires and odd and end connectors(usb cords, power cords ect..)
lot of office supplies
1 stick of RAM
20 class of 2011 T-shirts
Lots of other things, I wil try and take a couple pics before I start breakin it down.

Now I see why she might be a little ticked. Do you have a friend/family etc that might have some space you can use?

Bobby, you could do what quite a few scrappers are doing and that is to rent a 10x10' storage bldg by the month. Gets the mess out of the house, most of them have elec. plugin's somewhere around close (reachable by extension cord) and it's secure till you need it. A 10x10' should be real cheap.

Thanks mechanic , I have considered that. I just don't Think I have the time to commit right now to pay the rent on one , I work full time, plus a part time, go to school full time, and have a little girl. So I stay pretty busy.
I'm only doing like $100 or 2 a month scrappin. Once I have a little more time my plan is to buy me a shed to work out of.

How much more could you make if your current part time job turned into scrappin instead?

I would get rid of the part time job. The full time job is good, but what happens if you wake up one morning and are fired or laid off from both?
I would definitely turn the scrapping into part time, and keep the full time job/
How much would sell the three CRT's to me for?
Lol. My wife and I were out at yard sales this morning and I bought a bunch of medical monitoring equipment that took up most of the remaining space in our truck. Took a chance on this since I was not familiar with what was in the equipment, but there was a PILE of it. Got a frown for that one.

Heh had a few close encouters with my wife aswell. She turned around once I told her she got a cut of the profits.

Yeah money usually gets their attention! Lol, but im doin much better now, got rid if the woman and am workin on setting me up a works space that's not in my apartment.. with the recent thefts from board members though I hope I don't regret it.
|
regret getting rid of the woman, or regret setting up the space... i think you'll be just fine with both! good luck

Lol, the work space..
I guess I should say I let the woman go rather than got rid of her, cuz I already regret letting her get away, she is a good one.. but she is half nuts and don't know yet what she wants in life..I figure if its ment to be, then one day it will be!
The new work space however isn't very secure, I'm worried about my tools and material walking off. Only secure storage I have is in a car I have parked there as well..the trunk any way cuz the doors won't lock.

I used to have the same issue. I fixed it though!!
the last load that she ranted about, I flipped real quick for about 80% of what i could have made, but hey, it was gone in 2 days, then handed her a big fist full of cash, said "here babe, you put up with my scrapping, so go buy youself something nice"
$450 and 2 pairs of shoes later...she has never complained again!!

Space, space, space.
It is always the hardest part for me! I'm always tinkering on something and now my "office-space" barely has walk space..lol
