I don't know if you currently resell working components (so disregard the advice if you do) but it would be worth your time and effort to invest in a few very inexpensive testing tools. Especially...

I have no idea what that's like ;(

Mechanic is correct.

I have gotten a generic amp that needed a #4 torx but they are usually 5 or 6.

I always tally up my profits at the end of the month and put 50% of what i made into the account for scrap purchases. The other 50% gets divided about 8 different and goes to various savings funds. ...

There haven't been too many ewaste auctions in Oklahoma the last couple months. The ones there have been are usually listed as 1 tower per lot with a starting bid of $25.

A few months ago there...

The one Pentium Pro I didn't keep I sold on eBay for about $30. Minus fees and shipping I still made around $25.

Listed it as Buy It Now and sold it within a couple hours.

Those all look to be operational (or have the potential to be so) seeing as how they are still installed. I don't pay more than what i can get for shred on servers unless i am able to see them in...

The first tower i purchased for scrap was a Pentium Pro. Got it for $5.

If I knew then what I know now, I definitely would have plugged that puppy in before I scrapped it.

I still have that...

I have to agree that the filtering process gives quervo black a much more complex and richer flavor than Patron.

I actually sold them all to a local computer supply store for $35 each. They even came and picked them up for me.

I probably could have made more if i had the time and the space to sell them...

I too have made the decision to continue to support the forum buyers.

If not for this forum and buyers on here, I would know absolutely nothing about Ewaste would not be making ANY extra money at...

Nah, College football is where it's at.

Auctions are an amazing way to get scrap.

90% of the time when I win an auction I end up coming home with more than what was listed.

The last one I won was an auction for 35 Towers. I emailed...

Nice calculator. I could do it in my wife's Versa for $13. But if i had to take my truck it would cost me $50. Don't see $50 worth of material in the pic provided. Seems like a lot of time spent...

It's not your fault at all but now i'm gonna have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the night.

"One thing, one thing leads to an-o-o-other!"

Dealing with Craigslist is always a pain.

It's gotten so bad that I am actually amazed when someone shows up on time.

My yard wants it separated, but they pay $0.50 for aluminum no matter what it is. Everything goes in one bin, except for the cast. They have a different bin for cast.

That's another thing i find...

Is that for monitors only or for tv's as well?

At $0.04 per pound an average Monitor would get you about $1.00

An average 27" TV could get you $2.

Although hauling enough of them to make a...

There are a couple places I regularly get towers from and $5 is as low as they will go. Sometimes they are missing things and I still make a profit.

I would prefer to be able to negotiate a lower...

When I have absolutely nothing going on I have been known to pay up to 50 cents for a monitor. Only when I'm desperate though.


Mice, keyboards, speakers, printers, cords, and everything else I...

I completely agree that power supplies are worth more broken down.

Although, if you get to the point where you are breaking down 50 plus towers at a time and have to do it quick in order make room...

What!!!

I never gave it a second thought until your post. Now I too know the meaning! Thanks
