Wow, hope you are hedging! Sell puts or something...

I agree that gold should remain under pressure, but I think a 20% decline is unlikely in the next two-and-a-half weeks.

One of the reasons...

I really need to clean out my shed so I have a place to breakdown my computer scrap...wife would throw me out if I brought roaches into the house. I'm already treated as a second-class citizen as it...

George, not sure if you already bought a new one, but these are pretty easy to fix.

1. snip the rubber end off the cord, then strip the shielding back on the wire.

A few months back a guy came to buy a laptop from me, and after talking to him, I told him I could fix his cheaper. Turns out this guy is a gold mine! He drops about 40 old/broken laptops on me and...

I just got back from a snitzcher yard, and let me tell you how it went. this was my 3rd time "learning" the hard way about grading from these guys.

I know this thread is aged, but I found a company in Norfolk, MA that buys Li-Ion batteries ( i don't think button cells though ). Let them know Justin sent you and maybe they will give me a t-shirt...

I have a related question on pcmcia card cages from laptop motherboards...are they left on? What are they worth on their own /lb? I have a nice little box of them but don't know what to do with them....

I had to settle on doo-hickey because most of the technical terms I know would be considered offensive in at least 5 languages. I made a quick run last night on the way home from "work" and pulled an...

Nice Pull! It's addicting, huh...free $$ could be around any corner. I made more last night at the dumpster than I did today at work, and I didn't have to wear a tie to the dumpster.

I am a basement computer repair guy and found this forum trying to find someone to sell my e-waste to. Needless to say, after my first run to my e-scrap yard last week I am hooked! All I can think...
