    I used to buy from a small yard(now closed) and they would put them inside a building for me. On the condition of the computers most were in good condition but some had been pulled from the shred pile and were banged up and dirty.



    The one thing is that when I get computers from repair shops I expect them not to work but parts can be resold. This is generally true but with scrap yard computers a higher percentage worked.

    It was good to get a big lump of computers in one pick up. I could quickly process the computers breaking down the ones that were too damaged or too outdated to sell parts from.

    Good thread. Mike
