If all you gotta do is beat the other guys 25 cents, it would seem that all the next guy who comes along will need to do is to beat yours, and if this is the gig, my recommendation would be to use only very minimal increments, hopefully reducing the strain brought on by future price wars, as you're trying once again to win these pallets back from the next new player.
Yeah, .30 cents a pound is getting into the questionable arena. Aside from the problem Bear brought up, you are paying about 7.50-8.00 a tower and much more for a server. I couldn't think of doing something like that unless I could inspect the computers and know what I was buying. The avg computer weights 25-28 pounds. Servers could weigh 60-100. You are going to be much more successful if you are paying per item UNLESS you really know what is there. Even then, I'd be looking to do something in the "flat rate" area. You are buying mostly steel. The exception would be older 286/386/486 that are complete.
