if you made the same offer to take everything and the vendor only brought you the low grade junk, would you still be profitable. would you still accept it. would you be required to charge to accept those items.

you always have to look at the perspective vendor, your customer, thru their eyes. what do they require. then you have to determine if you can meet those requirements.



most company's that generate what all of us call profitable scrap, see this material as an unwanted liability when it reaches its end of life. they want it gone. as painless as possible.

which leads to the real question. can you compete with the company you want to sell to. obviously they are getting better returns than you. or you would be taking market share away from them.

perhaps you should locate more profitable end users to sell to first?
What one company charges, and one of their competitor charges is only a small bearing when it comes to competing with one another.

While most customers want a great price, they want superior customer service, people that know what they are doing, come right away once they are contacted, will work with them diligently to resolve any given issue, etc.

The only thing that the local company would be getting, is stuff that is NOT profitable for me to sell to someone like ewaste, pts, or easyrecycle. Not that they couldn't pay well, but shipping would be out rageous, and so forth. Plus, these guys only take PC related stuff for the most part.

The guys I am referring to that is local, take EVERYTHING that can be plugged into an electrical outlet.

My post was just asking in General if people would do business with anyone (local or abroad) that could not provide some sort of pricing sheet.

Most of the people on here, will give you price list and update them all the time.
