Possible Lead for Old Equipment

If this guys really does have a garage full and they are all that old, im not going to be able to give him a price for anything. I was considering just telling him that ill take it all, do what i can with everything, then split profits with him once im finished. What do you guys think of that? Good idea or bad?

I've done this before with my customers, but they're usually newer computers. Unfortunately, it's kind of a big trust factor and he may not want to do it if he doesn't know you.



Usually keywords I use when offering on things like this "Have any idea how much you'd like to get for this?". That way it's fair to him, and fair to you if you like the offer.
