Mybe people will pay you to take it off their hands?Like some are saying-you really shouldn't have to pay for electronic scrap. I have people paying me to get rid of theirs. I'll make 100 dollars for loading up 14 computers on Monday.
Patience is the key. Start letting friends know what you are doing. Craigs list is is an option as well---but you need to be able to jump when folks call. There is also another website that might be available in your area called freecycle.org
Most of this was a post from the forum.triffid

The thing about the last link is that people are willing to sell you their gold without knowing it of course.

I don't have expensive hobbies any more unless they're potentially useful.  OU research is one such hobby.

Look out for foreign countries' problems spilling over to this country.  Other countries have more serious things to deal with if their economies are smaller than ours.

With the electronic parts you can get out of old computers you can build ou devices like bedini motor,generators.Or get electricity from the sky.Old tv high voltage capacitors come to mind as being useful.So do scrap microwaves. with high voltage diodes and capacitors.I was shocked to find someone on the web was building bedini devices using parts from old computers.I kicked myself for not realizing that myself.They were getting 12 volts from the computer parts themselves but if you only used the parts from its power supply box then you could get 6 volts to charge batteries with.I found that website about 8 months ago and it may have have been a readers post in some forum.Not a website at all.But I should have figured that out myself.Right now I am working on getting my fathers house ready to sell then go back home to build a lab of sorts.I would work on the space elevator if I could.I think in 5 years time they will have a material strong enough to use in the earths gravity field.triffid

Ron Paul says this week in his weekly update that violence levels are rising in London and Norway.That private citizens should learn how to use and carry firearms for self defense.He mentioned that several people have already lost their lives in the violence thats erupted.I have a problem too the squatters that I chased out of my dads house are trying to come back inside.Someone tried to enter this house 3:50 in the morning last saturday morning.They opened the front screen door and I heard a mans voice speaking real low.I jumped up and shouted"What the hell!".I turned all the lights on and called the police.They were here in less than ten minutes.But my would be intruders were gone.So now some of my friends are worried saying I should have a gun.I guess I will have to look into it now.THANK YOU ST.LOUIS,MO. triffid
