Got a call to pick up a few towers and there monitor for a distribution company a few days ago. Called the guy to pick up the stuff today and it ends up being a pallet full of tower, monitors, battery backups, and handheld scanners. Best part of it all was its free and I picked up another business account for scrap.
Hopefully the monitors were not CRTs.
u know the score
pics please
if the battery backups are not worth reselling, the batteries might go as car batteries at the scrap yard
Photobucket isn't letting me upload pics so I can't show the score :(Quote:

So it all depends on the brand of battery backup's you get. APC are by far the best selling. I've sold rack mounted one's and made a killing on those as well. It's a matter of how much time, and what you want get out of it.Quote:

You really need to be set up to process thousands of them AND get government subsidies to make it a paying proposition.
If you dig through some of the older threads on CRT's i think it will give you a better idea of what's been going on here over the last couple of years. Major changes in how things are done.
