Sounds like everybody's staying busy... I do this in addition to my full time job. Pickups have been slow lately, but here's what I have picked up last week along with what I have scheduled for this week...



Friday on lunch picked up 23 G3/G4 power mac towers complete except for hard drives - for $1 each
Today on lunch picked up 10 desktops and 2 dvrs from a security company (took the 3 tv's down to goodwill already) - for free
Need to arrange:
Pick up remaining G3/G4 power mac towers (approximately 30. person is moving and I noticed a bunch of pc parts and cases in their shed also...) - for $1 each
Meet to pick up "several desktops and other misc computer equipment" for a business about 1.5 hours away from me - they offered to bring it half way - for free
Call local school district tomorrow because they have "a lot of computers to get rid of" - for free

After I accumulate this stuff, I should have well over the 2000lbs min requirement to use a my new buyer that pays $.46/lb for complete computers, so if I throw scrap hard drives in those power macs, they weight 29lbs each for a total of $13.34 per tower without having to do anything. Scrap value of individual components (without hard drive) was about $11.50, so no point in breaking these down.
Needless to say, I'm going to be cleaning out my garage tonight to make room for everything.
