| 1149664 | 2010-11-04 05:59:00 | I do not fossick, collect or hoard .... I just can't open the cellar or garage door for fear of things escaping :D | SP8's (9836) | ||
| 1149665 | 2010-11-04 09:07:00 | Yeah, all the bits and pieces I'm hoarding would be almost priceless... back in 1995. Could you imagine the response you'd have got back then if you could have produced a flat screen, 3GHz multi core CPU, 2TB HDD and 4GB of RAM? It would have been worth many tens of thousands of $. Now you can have the lot for under $1000. From what I've seen of our local e-day, the monitors aren't stowed in a manner that suggests they want to protect them for repair and re-use. Wasn't there some flak last time coz CRTNZ wasn't doing the right thing with the monitors that were collected? |

| 1149671 | 2010-11-05 06:51:00 | Well that's a positive step at least! :clap yep Ok any of you South Waikato-vians, getting rid of a) a machine or case or working 400w power supply as swmbo machine has been dead for 6 months (power supply kaput), and I suppose it might be time to fix it b) A machine under 5 years old (yeah i know unlikely), but last time i went to an E-day (in Invers), some of the machines being dumped were way more modern than mine an XP2500+ which was midrange in 2003. I was going to purchase a new machine, but after a bout of DIY to save money, the money disappeared, although i now have an almost working chook house |

| 1149672 | 2010-11-06 02:01:00 | Just got back from our local e-day. By far the most common item was CRT monitors (some quite large) and then printers, mainly of the bubble/inkjet variety. There seemed to be very few “computers” and I didn't see any laptops, but then we are a relatively small (and not so well off) community. Personally, my oldest piece of junk was an HP 560C Inkjet printer – god it used to clunk!! Did anybody dispose of anything older? |
