Well... not traditional, but I listen to lots of rap music... my favorite:

"Getcha money homie, do your thing" - Birdman and
"Livin' & hustlin on it, grind til we billionaires homie" - Birdman

What can I say, it turns my crank and gets me going.

Many businesses donate their end of life it equipment to them

I however pay them for it. Businesses like doing it because it makes them look nice.

Ahhh... are you in electronics recycling? Did you know that most charities turn down or salvage out as much as 80% of what people donate? Your competition (charities) could be your biggest supplier. If you are interested in approaching a local organization to set-up a 'buy all' for their salvage electronics I would be happy to help you. I think that you would find that you can get your items cheaper from the charity then you can from buying it from private individuals. Shoot me an e-mail if you want to talk more:

Yeah, but what they turn away is stuff I would turn away too

I don't purely recycle, i mostly refurbish it.

I draw inspiration for all over. I think some of the best quotes come from football movies, even though I never played the game (I was in the band). I also like biblical quotes, I find they always come at the right time, when I need to hear them the most.

Favorite Quotes -

"I see the man you are, and the man you ought to be." - Gene Hackman, The Replacements

"Pain Heals, Chicks dig scars, Glory lasts forever." Keanu Reeves, The Replacements

"Play the next 24 minutes for the next 24 minutes, and leave it all out on the field." - James Van Der Beek, Varsity Blues

"Be like a stone wall that nothing can brake through." (paraphrase) Facing the Giants

"And lo, though I wank through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no Evil, for the Lord art with me..." Psalms 23

There are many others, but these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Here in the US this is not correct. Most thrift stores are 1000-2000 sqft. They have very limited space considering that some high volume drop off centers can fill an entire 53' semi trailer full of electronics in under a week. Just a thought...

I will have a look. What kind of things do you think they turn away?

I deal mainly with p4 systems and p3 laptops and up.

I doubt they will have any systems like this they want removed.

Thanks
