    Switching gears a bit

    Decided it was time to start targeting some of the local scrappers in my area. After some research i figure that i can beat most of the local yards pricing on ewaste. I started with a few cl ads in the wanted section and snuck in a few in the free section. As of today I have made contact and bought towers from two scrappers and have meetings set up with two others to buy towers and boards. I also met with a guy who works for an IT company that is able to take what he removes during his jobs. He usually resells after fixing them but said that if i am willing to come to him and save him a trip to the scrap yard, then he will sell all the stuff he cant use to me at my prices. the next taget group I want to get to are the computer repair shops. I am hoping that by offering to pickup and saving them a trip to the yard might be enough to get them to talk to me. BTW I would like to thank Geiser for the inspiration. Not looking to go as big as he wants to be, but just looking to get a steady stream of stuff coming in.
