    the company(lsi) might have manuals available for download. That's quite a bit for somebody to just throw away, unless maybe the company there went bankrupt, foreclosed or something and they were just cleaning out the space. Still, it's kind of funny they'd only toss lasers, you should have found a little bit of everything in there with it. Those are some high dollar tools, and if they're missing from someones inventory, they may be reported. I'm not questioning your integrity, but it might be something for you to consider, and be sure it was meant for disposal, and not some disgruntled employee stuffing the dumpster for later

    Thats all depends on the size of the company. I just got in E-parts brand new in boxes still sealed. they had a list price of over $40,000. this was all found in the dumpster behind their shop. old lasers are thrown out lots of time because people lose trust in them so they buy a new one. It may not sit just right or the bolt might not tighten to the operators liking you never know. A $1000+ for trust is well worth the cost of a new laser.

    I would take them to a pawn shop less money but it will be quicker.

    I guess that's all possible, I'm really not into it that much any more, but recall some of them being 5000+, and taken extremely well care of

    Actually I found a lot of tools in that dumpster, I also found Hilti Hammer Guns that are worth some real $$$ as well. I just gave my mom a nice mac laptop that I found at at same place Sunday while I was working the complex. I quit trying to figure it out a long time ago, I get paid to maintain the facility so it's just a pay raise! will try to do pictures latter tonight (again). back to work
