    Got a call from IT repair guy closing shop!!!

    I have lost a lot of regular pick ups do to dumb reasons. Companies don't like getting cash from small recyclers. They like giving it for FREE to large recyclers!!! I was getting 40-60 cellphones a month at $2/lb from a resell tech company, now they give them away for free to the needy who already get free phones from the gov't. Can't figure it out. Anyways, I am on the verge of ending my LLC and moving from my 10x25 and 15x20 storage units to a single 10x10 unit.



    Then Wednesday I get a call no name on caller ID or didn't leave message. I call back and it's an IT guy I bought from a year ago. His business is struggling and is closing shop. I stopped in on Friday and picked up 80 towers, misc plastic and 20 Power supplies. Saturday, I returned with more cash after working all night processing (also partially my rental unit money, due Tuesday, so dumb). He then gave me 120 laptops, 3 boxes of laptop scrap, a LCD monitor, 2 CRT monitors and a broken microwave. I paid a little under a $100 for everything, though he wants a little more maybe 20. No problem. When I pay that, then he has CPU's and RAM to sell next. What a break!!!

    I am keeping the 10x25 unit for another month, but have to leave the other unit because of lack of funds and supply of Ewaste and down grade to a 10x10 until something improves.
