    good better and best! (score)

    So I have had some good luck this past week or so. I have been on craigslist as much as possible. Bought some ecrap someone posted that did not want to ship to board sort. They were offered 40. I paid 20. Pretty good. This past monday saw an ad for dell servers. 2 400sc and 2 1600 sc. Also included some linksys still in box home/small buisness network stuff. Then I see an ad for some computer part (ibm). Called him up. Offered 45 on what he described. Went to pick up ended up being 16 machines and 1 printer. 2 were rackmount servers with total 10 hardrives. One of which I know is 250 gb. Most of the machines were complete. If they were not the next machine made up for it by what was inside. Ended up paying 60 which is less than 5 a computer. Persistence has paid off! Well here are some pics.

    The guy I got the big load from does office renovations. He said he gets computers and other scrap metal quite a bit. I sure hope I get some more calls from him. He said the last person to get copper from him made 750 bucks.
