My new advertising

[joem]

here is my new ad.
I'm always trying new wording to see what gets me the most replies.

"Yes it's true. I will pay you for your dead computer parts. I will take mother boards, memory, CPUs, sound cards, video cards, and any other type of slot boards. Scrape yards will buy these things for pennies on the pound but I will pay 20 cents each item and they don't even have to be working. It's easy to gather up 100 of the items to make a quick 20 bucks.
If you gather metal scrap and have computers in your haul email me and I will buy these components and you can still keep the towers for metal scrap, you will make more money this way.
I will pick up any scrap computers or parts for free if you just want it cleaned out. "

I use the money I get from the leftover scrap yard parts to pay the people

Tmcfarland1983 this ones for you

Now that is the best one you have had yet.
Good going there.

All I can do right now is read, advertise, and gather. My garage is full and it''s too cold to process out there (-10c daily). I'm really itching to work with the acids (A/p) again. So every time I get an email to pick anything up it thrills me to think when spring comes my gold stash will increase. This is the only forum I read and when there is no new postings,typically saturday evenings, I go way back in old posts and read from the beginings.

I now have a regular computer repair client that will regularly give me his scrap. Newbies out there just don't give up.

 

[wrecker45]

some shops wont give up there scrap at first .but keep going back.and they will sooner or later.when they do you will start getting it on a regular basis.

as a friend of mine had a bad habit of saying: "Persistency!"

 

[wrecker45]

think i will do a road trip in the spring. north bay to thunder bay. checking computer repair shops along the way. stop and fish here and there.hunt for amythest and fossils around thunder bay. then thunder bay to marathon. pan for gold. then down to sault st marie then over to sudbury and home. should get a good load of computers and have fun doing it.

Wrecker, that reminds me - I once had the idea of going around to dental offices and asking for silver amalgam scrap, and I would take business on a wicked cross country trip. I tried it in my home town, and didn't get much more than 100 grams in a half a day. Disease potential, mercury disposal issues I was told prevented them from giving it to me. That was the end of that little dream :lol:

I think your idea might have potential, you could do scheduled, publicized, centralized pickups of escrap in these northern communities, maybe you could piggyback it with scrap metal collection too.

This is what the forum is all about, people helping people. Each of us can contribute what we know and do best for the betterment of the rest.

And yes, a big Kudo to Joem for not just giving permission to use his advertizing,but even custom tailoring it for another member.

Hi Glondor
I did not know it was you, all I knew that it was a forum member.
Glad to do it. enjoy.

Also
I can get these digitally printed at a small shop for 72 cents per 11x17 page full colour both sides. 4 on each sheet. So with added cutting charge + tax you could get (200 sheets) 800 flyer for about $160ish. Unit price 20 cents each. If one flyer gets you one regular scrap pick up client it well paid for itself. Prices may be less where you get printing done.

AwsomeI love to hear success stories
keep going

 

[joem]

I have not been processing too much due to the cold weather but my ad keeps bringing me items
- 23 motherboards, 65 ISA/PCI/AGP cards, 16 CPUs, and 21 sticks of RAM
For those using my free ad it is designed for residential purpose so it may not bring in truck loads but does fairly well for those work from home computer geeks (btw I love the term geek so no flaming me LOL)
:lol:
