    Think I got a good deal today! PC/electronics scrap

    I got a bunch of stuff from a guy off craigslist for $80. Seemed like a win/win since he got to clear out space which he said he needed. I weighed out the PCs/Laptops/Phones and paid $0.20/lb for them, which came out to about $60 by weight. I wasnt really interested in the rest of the stuff he had, but asked what price he wanted for the rest of the non-pc/phone stuff and he said $20, which seemed worth the gamble since I didnt want to dig through it all.

    Here is a list of SOME of the stuff, havent gone through it all yet.

    10 PC towers, all in-tact, nothing ripped out
    12 laptops (all older, some missing battery, some missing hard drive)
    ~10 off-brand tablets that say that they dont work on them in tape/sharpie
    ~10 dell streak 7 tablets that also dont work
    Literal duffle bag filled with phones, cords, modems, routers, tivos, other random electronics I havent gone through yet, etc
    12 Lbs of smartphone cellphones (older, but still smartphones some blackberry, some other android brands, a lot of palm brnad phones)
    Various other boxes of electronics
    ~10 dvd or dvd/vhs combos, all but 1 worked, 3 had DVDs in them still... poop movies tho lol
    Havent weighed it out yet but probably >100 or so lbs of random wires, havent gone through them yet

    Already sold some RAM from one of the computers for $20 on ebay, so only $60 left to break even lol. Still have stuff to go through/organizes yet too. Might make some money on this, might not, still fun to take the stuff apart and find neat stuff!
