PC(Desktop) to get rid of???

Anyone who wants to throw away
old PC (CRT monitor:thick screen) or Laptop?
Only CRT (Above 17 Inches), too.

We'll come and pick those up, for the whole year, any time.

Privately email to me.

How did you guess?
Yes, it is the charity thing. But we probably get the transportation fee, though from the obtainee.

But you taught me something that we can make a profit? How ;->
You must calculate the transportation fee in Switzerland. Now, in mediamart
the brand new laptop is 8xx.xx S. Fr. So, please let us know if we can.

Ok.. you're sounding kind of flaky here. Think I'll just hang onto my old PC stuff for some kid in real need.

Re: PC(Desktop) to get rid of???

Your inquisitive attitude speaks more loudly for it's self, your disbelief after I've already said. I don't have time to be investigated by you. With the motive that I cannot think of otherwise, which is what you want to hear.
Do I make myself clear? Thanks -

Re: PC(Desktop) to get rid of???

I just inadvertently reduced the negative weight on this persons scales. I actually wanted to do the opposite.
To the OP, If you cant clearly state your reasons for utilising peoples donations don't be surprised when people wont cooperate.

Sorry but I just don't have much time for all.
I am free as well as you are free.
If you don't like it, then you don't do it.
Not my direction, which I never said but you.


Humm... did I say to anybody, they HAVE TO or MUST?
No ~
Free your mind and rest will follow.
As you can see, I am so tired under ...

Re: PC(Desktop) to get rid of???

Having lunch? More like out to lunch. Agree with everyone else, if you can't be specific about what your charity is and be a bit more gracious, it's doubtful that anyone would consider giving you anything.

I don't know why all forum veterans feel they HAVE TO.
And then they tried to judge and evalute the motive.

Maybe, because you never did any charity work.
When you are starting that with good intention, people make inquiry
as if you are not, then you tend to drop it, asking "do I need this shit?"
suspicious investigation, which is exactly where I am.

So, please you don't feel like DON'T YOU DARE F~ing CONTACT US TO PICK UP.

So, Zug Bound, am I supposed to feel scared by your words.

>>>>>> Oh my God I am so scared.
>>>>>> I will not get any profit because Zug Bound will not give out any PC's part.

by YOU!

I just finished my lunch, it was pasta. Should I photo and attach it, too.
Beloved Accuser, Zug Bound.
I don't need your apology for your insults.

It is all year around, so no PC or many PC's, I simply don't F~ care.
No more words from me. No more time to spare for this subject.

Re: PC(Desktop) to get rid of???

I think it might be that people are concerned about their PCs potentially going off to developing countries as e-waste. I've just read an article about this in a recent issue of National Geographic.

Now, I'm not suggesting in any way that this is what is going to happen to the PCs you are collecting. But it looks like the other posters would like to be assured that their donated PCs are not going to end up as e-waste. As it is, Switzerland is set up so that you can take your e-waste back to pretty much any place that sells electronic goods. Consumers pay for this service when they buy something electronic.

Re: PC(Desktop) to get rid of???

At this moment, simply I don't care, OK?

I officially announce, we don't pick up old PC period
Bye-by -

What kind of these people, very sick.
Of course, I thank everyone participating.
At least they leave all these reactions, they spent their time to read all these.
I thank.

Isn't that also got cynically taken by you, Abfab
and none will groan your cynical but only my cynical? Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha~
Isn't it exactly what SVP does? Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha~ Where is Lob? by the way?
__________________________________________________ _______________________

But, due to your words, imagine the people who need the PC parts, they won't get it.

I don't get a profit, No. Then what I get, I will get no harrassment by you, all.
And actually the people who need don't get PC's.
Also I have better things to do instead of getting booooo by forum veteran.

That's all, I lose nothing.
You guys are just like SVP.
Now, picking on even my English???
Lob, where are you, AbFab? You don't groan about this?
you don't comment about this?

Very impartial. Just like SVP.
Among the groups, they sap one person with their own views,
Isn't this exclusiveness just like SVP?
The people who criticize SVP behave just like SVP when
they think they have majority buddies, to sap the one up.

Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha! Identical ~ Hilarious ~
Imagine, I will read all the email under this subject, just like I said,
I have better things to do.

Re: PC(Desktop) to get rid of???

I almost offered you a PC and screen but your attitude sucks.

I am fairly sure that, had you been transparent people would have been more receptive.

Now I do suggest you don't post in this manner again and cut the aggressive attitude on the forum. People were only asking questions and you were being somewhat evasive. People don't trust other people on the internet - and rightly so.
