Best idea to find computers/and other ewaste - Page 2

Good advice!

Good Bump Kochy, an reading back...I want to toss this out there, even tho it' doesn't deal with computers. In one of his posts, Dumbd mentions bookstores that buy back books. When I was in AZ we had a store there that would give you cash, or credit for books, movies, music, etc. It's similar to the way Staples will give you credit when you bring in print cartridges, cept they don't put a limit on it.

I would gather up bunches of books an take them in, lots of times I would get store credit, which for me was just like cash..as I like to read. Any cash I didn't have to pay out, always helped. Might be something for you folks nowadays to consider if you have anything near you like that. I know I miss that kind of store here on my sandbar.

Just another avenue to rid yourself of items, for at lest in store credit. Dunno if that'll help anyone, but lest it's out there.

I think the name of the store I used was Bookmans...maybe Hobo will see this an chime in as he's in Tucson where I was at the time.

Excellent idea regarding the thrift stores, there's about 100 of them here on the Island.

In terms of computer techs (myself included) are notorious hoarders! Fortunately, I've overcome my hoarding and decided to sell it as scrap since I don't need to stock 200 power supplies, pounds of functioning RAM, etc.

It's great when you have an ample supply of computers to work on, but when they run out you're always looking for more. I'm usually able to talk my customers into recycling there old ones with us after we do a data transfer to their new computer.
