    First e-scrap purchase

    Thanks to all of the great members on this forum who are willing to share their knowledge I too have caught the e-scrap bug. Today was my first of hopefully many purchases. I know I paid to much, but I feel confident that I at least made a good first impression and will be getting repeat business and still didn't do to badly.

    Haven't fully processed everything but this is what I got for $60 + $2.70 in gas.



    12 lbs motherboards
    0.8 lbs ram
    15 cpu's (6 with the metal back, 7 without and 2 slot processors)
    2.1 lbs gold finger boards
    6 complete harddrives
    6 CD/DVD drives
    2 floppy drives
    4.5lbs ALU heat sinks
    2 lbs ALU/CU heat sinks
    4 complete power supplys
    40lbs destined for the shred pile

    Have yet to go through the box of ribbon cable and other wire to snip off the gold connectors, also a small box of fans that my yard will hopefully give me electric motor price on. Will probably break down the drives also unless a little research on ebay tells me to do otherwise. Power supplys will be broken down also.

    Wire, steel, heat sinks and fans I will be taking to a local yard. Pretty much everything else I will be stock piling until I have sufficient quantity to make the road trip to one of the buyers on this board across the border.
