The varying conditions of scrap yard computers.

I used to pile pick from a yard in Oshkosh and another in Appleton and they all looked like that last picture, some might have been possibly a litter better than that but most were awfully bad. If it was a slow day the grapple or magnet operator would a layer off the pile and move it where I could access without climbing (A big nono). For obvious reasons I don't go picking like this anymore, but if you have a Saturday and regularly spot cases with boards in them at your local shred pile...you can BUY it as shred at or above their take prices...probably around 9 to 12 cents a lb and it's yours. I would say better than 10% of the computers received end up in shred without ever getting touched...some if not most yards now though....will send their guys to pick the piles anyways.
