What was the range you would pay?

Well when Prices were higher I would start at $5 for a good window unit and have paid upwards of $60 for a large household unit........Thought about getting into commercial rooftop units but never took the plunge and moved on to focusing on ewaste.........Their are some good threads here about chillers and larger units as well (some of these can be worth 1000's of dollars in scrap)......With prices being what they are now I would obviously buy accordingly.......If you run into a few make a fair offer and break them down and determine value considering time, effort etc.......From what I know of you a $100 investment would be worth the education even if you lost a few bucks!!!!........I also know that your scrap prices are lower than mine and your haul to the yard is further (I have currently about 8 yards within 20 miles of my house).............Good money in those units though and I saw where the ADMIN here even had a class recently!!!

I greatly appreciate the education. You are correct, I can afford to invest in my education. My results will be posted in the near future.
