    I went out and talked to the guy. He had a warehouse full of Computer, Monitors, Printers...
    He showed me what they do. Sort threw the stuff. Daul Core and higher get sold to a reseller. Anything that looks incomplete gets set aside and torn down later. All other computers go on pallets. Monitors go on pallets. Printers go on pallets. Servers go on there own. All the pallets get sold complete to buyers.
    He said he currently has 3 buyers at $0.60lb. He gets more than they can handle so he is looking for more. He said would take a little less then $0.60 but do not insult me.
    I told him after I broke everything down I would get $0.50 maybe $0.60a lb.
    He then offered to buy complete computers from me for $0.45lb as long as I bring in around 2000lbs at a time.
    He also said he would pay higher then I am currently getting for MotherBoards, RAM, Harddrives ....
    He said he gets better prices becuase he will ship 1000lbs of motherboards 500lbs RAM in at a time. Something about go big or go home.
