    Maybe I'm doing something wrong then. Here's the offer I just sent to my buyer... Now, not all my PCs had memory or cpus and all were missing HDDs, Unless selling for more then scrap, I don't see anything I'm missing.

    37 lbs - Motherboard grade - @$4.50 = $166.50
    7.5 oz cpu p4 with alum. top @$9.25 / lb = $4.33
    10 oz memory @= $15 / lb=$9.37
    4oz slot processors @$12.50 = $3.12

    total = $183.00

    Minus shipping I figure will be around $30-$40.

    and I took the 400 lbs of cases out this morning. $120/ton for "frag feed" = $24.00

    I have processed the floppy and cd roms already....



    The aluminum I took out and copper was a mixed load from before so I can't say exactly how much that gave me.

    I haven't processed the power supplies, but I have to separate them out because no one here buys them so I need to cut wires, take steel out, take aluminum out and knock the copper parts off for the motor bucket.

    I have the ide cable and wires piled up and have to trim the ends. This price isn't in my quote yet, but it isn't a huge amount.

    So, where are you guys finding the extra money that I'm missing?
