All of the T.V.'s are here on site. The majority are brought to me. And the scrap yard is only 5 miles down the road. Disposal costs are minimal.

Hope this helps.
I wish I could pay hourly. I just see it as being too easy to loose out on. Also I was looking for a high school/ college kid. But the job is probably going to go a 30 y/o ex convict. I know, I know. But I'm a firm believer in second chances.

Forgot to mention I also have about 200 monitors in the lot. So at a buck per someone stands to make $500 on just what I have in stock now. If it works out I can always get more. Way more. Now what you said about showing my hand on the gross. That's exactly what I'm looking for here. I didn't even think of that! That part is no one's business. That buck a piece is starting to look better n better.
