    An even good-er score

    While still on a high with previous score with board sales I Bought a 200lb. load of some sort of boards with solid aluminum and copper heat sinks on them from a local scrap yard. The yard can't legally take them apart as they are not licensed for electronics here in PA and they just wanted them gone. I bought them at 5 cents a pound more than what they paid which was dirty aluminum 20 cents a pound. So, for my 53 dollar investment I have found in the units 70 1tb mm2 ssd drives which I have sold for $100.00 each and 60 8g gpu, twenty have sold for $400.00 each so far. There are other 240g ssd also selling for $40.00 in there as well. Oh, and there was 70lb of copper heat sinks all totaled up. Can't wait to see what the next one will be! If I could remember how to do photos on here I would put some up.

    Now that is an awesome score! Well done! Hopefully you can get more material from that yard!
    I also had some good scores from some scrap yards, that had very good resale parts inside, but not quite this good. Most yards have zero clue about resale parts when it comes to computer scrap.
