My shop is in NJ just outside the Holland tunnel.. I don't know about a lack of buyers.. There are certainly companies out there vying over the available material... The thing is there is a lot of material in such a small area... These large offices turn over their equipment very very quickly. I remember prior to the downturn in 2008, companies were replacing their equipment almost every year... Obviously, that slowed down quite a bit due to the lack of disposable income.. But, now things are ramping up again.. I have seen it first hand in my customer's waste streams..

I read olddude's opinion. While I agree to a certain extent, I think his great fear of no more computers and only cellphones is a bit premature.. As the economy gets better and companies have a little extra money to spend they will replace their current units/workstations... It is inevitable.. The more money in system the quicker the replacement rate.. At least that is what I am banking on...
