    Alright well it's been awhile since I've been on so figure it was time for an update. After paying for gas to and from one of our buyers on here that's local, my e-waste returned around $725 with around at least $1,000 more in items that I'm selling right now on Ebay and other sources. Another $300-$325 from local trips to the yard to dispose of the steel, copper, etc. So around $2,000 if everything sells well and timely. All in all, for me at least, I consider it a big win, beside the amount of time it took to break down everything. I've been working for the past few months pretty extensively so I didn't really have the time to do everything as quickly as I would have liked to. If I was able to do this full-time, that would be a different story, and something that I am working towards.....I know every job has its challenges, and doing E-waste is no different in my opinion, but I love doing it and could see nothing better then running your own successful business and doing something you love. Just my .02......I would also like to again thank those of you on here who have helped so many, including myself. Here's a toast to the people on here who share their knowledge and experience/advise. Without you this site wouldn't be what it is....
