    Well played PawPaw.

    Keep it up! Soon we'll have a "PawPaw's fantastic finding's" thread.

    I'm just starting out too. Learning as i go ....

    It might be a good idea to sort and weigh everything up before hand with any buyer. Then .... include a packing list.

    For example:

    Box #1: 30 lbs large socket motherboards

    Box #2: 20lbs small socket motherboards, 10 lbs gold tipped ram. 6 lbs HDD boards, 4 lbs CD/DVD boards etc.

    That way everyone is on the same page and the person on the receiving end can contact you if there's any disparity.

    It's a lot easier to head off a potential problem beforehand than it is to try and fix it later on.

    Ewasted an co, are awesome folks for sure.

    Very good at sorting, tho like our friend with an accent said, I do include a packing slip into each box. Not sure it helps them, but it makes it easier on me. Once it's been processed it lets me go back over my own an see where I can improve my sorting the next time out. Weird I know, but hey..I do even stranger things. lol.
