    My weekend find for 4-28-2018 Included is pictures

    So I was searching craigslist ads for New Hampshire and Mass when I came across a ad for a guy that had e-scrap from the 70's 80's and 90's the post was about a month old and I figured I would respond. I thought for sure that the stuff would be gone but to my surprise it was still available. I drove the three hours from New Hampshire to Western Mass to pick up the stuff. When I got there the guy was telling me that he had a metal scraper there earlier in the week picking up some copper and brass, and asked the guy if he was interested in the computer waste, the scrapper look at him and said that there was nothing he could do with that junk and that it was not worth any money lmfao! So I was happy to take it all with a very big smile on my face so for a three hour drive and about 4 hours of sorting I scored 247 lbs telecom boards most with all gold chip sets 33lbs of memory and a bunch of misc boards. 3 lbs double sided gold Intel processors a 20 lbs of Ic chips and Eproms and many daughter cards, memory modules. I found about 2200.00 in resalable stuff for Ebay. This was by far my best pick from Craigslist one mans trash is my treasure!!!! These are just some of the boards there is way to many to post pictures of, Happy hunting to my fellow members any comments and questions are welcomed!

    Pics don't work but sounds like a great score. I've started using Imgur since Photobucket got too proud of their service...easy to use.
