Why I always ask for scrap

So a couple of months ago I was doing my weekly rounds at curbco and I found some stainless exhaust parts. I walked up and asked the guy if I could have them and he said he had some other stuff. So I gave him my phone number (Back before I had business cards) and left. Well, he called me last week and said he had some metal, no description.

So I went and picked it up this morning, and got a lot more than I was expecting. He gave me:

8 Brake Rotors:




Assorted Boxes of Stuff and two transmission housings (?):


Now, I started digging through those boxes and found:


And the biggest score of them all:


28 Sticks of RAM (Most of them are 1 gig), 4 of those AMD Ceramic's, a IBM Ceramic, and that other little tiny one. All Free!

This is why I recommend asking at curbco, if I didn't, I wouldn't have gotten any of this.

Saweet!

Booom!

That was a really nice score. Well worth the time you took to ask, time well spent.

Just some quick numbers, I got roughly 160 Lbs of Rotors which at my scrap yard go for .095 cents a lb. = $15.20, in the boxes, there's probably $10-$15 worth of stuff (Lots of car parts and non ferrous). I haven't had time to sort through it. There is probably 1-1.5 LBS of ram in the tray = $13.25-19.87. Total = Roughly $50. I only had to drive like a minute to pick it up so there was practically no gas used.

1GB ram might be worth reselling. I'll PM you.
