Tried a free add today..

[Torker Man]

Well after taking some ideas and inspiration from some of the seasoned members here on the forum, I chucked an add up on Gumtree (aussie version of CL) about PC recycling (see attached)

Add has been up since 4pm today. Just checked inbox (@ 11pm) and have 4 messages about stuff to go and pick up, and one is a local repair shop that previously had knocked me back!

LOL!

I guess it went over well??

Just out of curiosity because most of my craigslist ads suck! Where did you advertise? I live too far to be your competitor.

there is a website called "GumTree" its a free site that combines CL & Ebay sort of thing..

I think its Australia only..

Torker, around here I also snag satellite dish receivers and cable tv boxes. Those boards inside are also hi-grade,,,

got another email today, a bloke was about to pay to have 32 pc's taken away for him (local church group) so I went and grabbed them. They were wrapped with my service, and I think I impressed them when I offered to haul away all the boxes and foam from the new systems they had just received..

hoping that that will bring some good Karma too!

Toker loos like you might have just hit a gold mine over there in ausiieland. Specialy if no one else is doing it.

[Torker Man]

there are a few doing it, but small time x 10 compared to over where you are.

Most guys collect to try a bit of gold refinning, then give up and offload there scrap cheap!

...well I hope so any way
