    Ha! I just got a call this afternoon from my shop neighbor, wondering if I minded if he dropped off a trailer full of appliances for me so they'd be there when I got in tomorrow morning. I begrudgingly said okay... ;-)

    I just like taking things apart and analyzing every piece to see how much more I can make off of every item. So for me this whole industry makes me happy

    What WOULD make me happy, is finding an E-waste buyer on this great forum, who lives in California.

    Shipping costs to the right (east) coast takes a lot of the potential profit :-(

    Having tons of old computers to play with and fix. I got a really rare one in the other year or so and I still haven't found any information on it! Is an all in one terminal, a Gentec GT 4000 with serial number at 4908!

    boy its been a good week, but what made me happy tonight other than the phone call i got on the other thread

    when someone drives a junk car to my house at $20 over my minumum(220) and it has a title, aluminum wheels, and a quiet exhaust, that makes me happy(92 buick lesabre with a leaking transmission)

    When somebody who posts an ad on CL under the wanted section actually replies to my email, when trying to sell something they wanted!

    That makes me happy.
