I am in Florida and I mostly scrap brass and aluminum. I have had computers I got that I used to pick parts from and repair. I would break the rest down into wire, cards, motherboards and processors and RAM and hard drives and shred the rest. I have maybe 30? 40? boards and probably a nearly equal number of hard drives. I see people break them down and sell them and I have a few questions that are not obviously answered here.
1. Are any of the buyers here interested in what I have or is it too small an amount? I see people talking about gaylords of stuff. I do not have even close to that. Is it worth shipping?
2. If it is worth shipping, and there is someone here interested, who should I approach? Does anyone have experience with specific buyers here, or if there is a buyer interested, would you please let me know so we can arrange to get the goodies to you?
3. I guess this is important if I have someone to that is interested, but how do I prepare the items for the buyer? Do I have to separate every single item? do they want it shaved or whole or somewhere in between?
4. It was hard to find obvious, specific information on computer scrapping, so I wanted to add a thread with specifics for people. If you come across better or more information, by all means, add the link or resource and I will edit this post to include your info and label it as such. Thank you in advance.
