    He might be selling to China and that will only fly for a few more months if the government has anything to do about it. That being said we just cant compete with China they are not in it to break it down they are in it to HOPE that 1 out of ever 4 computers is working and they can resell it for 3 times what they bought it for. He is likley not getting much more than $0.30-$0.35lb. or $20 a unit.

    20$ a unit is outlandish. Breaks down to $.80 a pound. If I thought he would take intrest at $.30 to $.35 I would of kept negotiations going. By his reaction I'm thinking he's at least at $.40 to $.50 lb or higher? $.50 is too risky I don't think I'd loose money. But, I wouldn't be making much either. That's a lot if weight and work to be finding out the hard way
