Pallet of towers = blue fin tuna in my book. Nice going and at a good price for them. Nice price for the other stuff too. Can they be a steady supplier for you?

Possibly the guy with the misc. stuff broken down maybe. He's advertising the next town over with brochures and getting this stuff free so I went just above the local scrapyard (pricewise) and he was happy. Hopefully it was not the last time.
The pallet load (there were 3 total) came out of a storage unit that these people bought and was reselling. I took the best pallet.
Pallet #2 had at least 8-9 empties on it, I don't call that one a bargain. And their older, and some of the cases are really outdated, so not much resale value there.

The older the towers the better the grade of boards and lots more pretty gold proc chips. Also if they are older towers like IBM look into them before breaking down. There are people that will buy at better than scrap value even if they aren't in working condition.

I have gotten some of my best computer towers from people who buy a locker and then don't know how to move them. Have a guy now who is actively looking for them since I pay $5 each for them.

Define "empty"? bare case? no PS or Mobo? Are you aware that even the older AT cases are getting hard to find? Also, does "empty" mean there's empty slots on the back? I'm thinking a good old Mobo with a good ol CPU, no other cards, no other nothin, may just be worth more nowdays than a purple P4 with a stockpile of newer cards. Do you realize how many "empty" cases get tossed, carrying no more than an old mobo, with it's old CPU still inside?
