    First Major Escrap Haul!!!

    Hey Guys and Gals,!

    Scored my first e scrap haul today... Very excited i start first thing tomorrow morning i have 1 full day 3 guys including myself and a 24ft box truck to do the job... i can't mention the company's name for security reasons , any who location is 140miles away from me round trip... i figure i can make 2 loaded trips to remove everything.. fingers crossed.i have some pictures to show you guys i will update more when im done unloading and i start to scrap the items... need to figure out what is best also , should i scrap it all or sell on CL and ebay... from what i saw in person there are about 1800 pieces of these hand held scanners intermac norad now there are about 600 other scanners i didn't catch the name of, also about 200 printers, about 25 telecommunications boxes loaded with phones..scanners maybe 20 or so towers a few old laptops and crts... anyways pics below ... Ps i only paid $200 for this entire lot, guy said he was in a bind needed it out ASAP!!!! SCORE!!!!!












    any input will be greatly appreciated!!!

    Thanks!

    i have no idea on the scrap value of the scanners but for say ebaying them or creigslist possible $10-20 each but not selling as well but its possbile to call around to stores near you and see if you can work a large deal on the lots for cheap to them but a nice payday for you. even so the rest is a great deal for $200 great find i would say at least a $3000 scrap value on the lot but thats my small town price i mean the 200 printers alone scrap wise is at least $500

    You def did good. Ebay the make/model of the scanners and just relist when one sells (if they pull decent money). Or you can list in lots of 10 or so. p.s. PM me the model number and price, I might be in for a couple.

    Omg i am so tired mentally and physically. Just drained had a full day today, started off hectic but turned out to be great. Listed a few items online and sold my first piece . Made back my investment and the money i spent for the truck rental. So far so good!. Still have a ton of stuff to sort and list and figure out but im set for a while!.
