The image is flipped from my door ads but It is fixed now lol

I can't break monitors down due to lead and phosphorous powder hazards. I did get an offer if I can get 500 lbs of monitor at a time but the payment was a total of $30 ( does not even cover gas for 2 days) and they take up a great deal of my garage space.

I'm am now using the money from this to rent a warehouse for dissmantling ( a future plan)

i do not break monitors down. i just sell them as e-scrap.to hard to get rid of the tube.

Here is my next idea.
The horse race track here has weekend flea markets. So I am planning on setting up an outdoor drop off booth for unwanted computers every second weekend. It only costs $21 for each weekend with no long term contracts (so weather is not a problem). I will advertise on the numerous free classified sites we have here in the city to drum up poeple who need a place to drop off.
Future Plan ; I am also looking into becoming an Ontario Electronic stewardship collector - which means I can buy old computers from my work place ( a college) and other software and hardware businesses here for pennies on the pound.

If you are not too busy, could I get some feedback on my collection site. http://www.junkEscrap.com

Constructive comments accepted on my site.

http://www.e-junk.biz

I purposely set it up so spam robots do not list it. I have business cards that match my theme. I only give them out to people that I feel will have something.

Looks good Dan. Short, sweet, and to the point.

When someone asks you to pick up some scrap, never say no.
I was told most of these come from the 30's and 40's
enjoy

Were all of those tools in the wooden chest?
If so, that is a craftsman's personal collection that he hauled or shipped everywhere he went during his working life. Some tools were likely handed down, passed on, picked up cheap & repaired (when he first started his career & money was tighter). He added a new tool every now & then, even some newer stuff towards the end of his working life, just because he wanted one or could afford it now. A lot of someone's history there. That's quite a treasure.

Yes the wooden chest came with it all. The people who gave it to me were retiring and moving out west, the man ( I do not remember his name) said it was his grand fathers and they did not want to ship it. I can barely lift it so I guess shipping would be expensive. Some of the tools have date stamps as early as 1929 and there are even some machined square head nails.

Colin Fletcher 1922-2007

In 1981 he published The Man From the Cave, which tells how, after finding a trunk and a few belongings abandoned by someone in a desert cave in Nevada, he spent years piecing together the life story of "Trunkman". As he pieced together the mystery of the man's life, Fletcher saw in it a discovery and reflection of himself, "We both valued solitude and silence and square, smoothed-off granite boulders."

Persistance pays off. I have an appointment on Monday with 1-800-got-junk (Ottawa) to buy all the scrap boards and cards for 25 cents each.
I Just keep on posting the ads I use on this thread.

Update; Got Junk has agreed to drop off computer towers at my house as long as I have a bin for drop off. I will log each item recovered and pay them 25 cents each board. I also get to use their bin at the office to drop off left over parts from printers, monitors, and such.
Also a computer store and repair center outside of town has also agreed to keep parts for 25 cents each board. Keep on working.
