    Yes, I am prepared to get a little mixture from them and my prices are adjusted accordingly. I know they are not experts and will let them know I have to operate the same as they do. With my small margin on big numbers I need to buy right. So when my cast is in with shred I get shred for it all. The same should apply.

    One of the things was thinking was to use a pricelist and pay on a percentage of that pricelist. The price I get x .80 for example. In exchange they agree to sell to me for one year. Is this a good idea. 20% for processing should be a tidy profit unless I am mistaken. I also know what they were getting from a previous buyer and it was very little. What I can get for driving to e-wasted once a month should be nice.



    While I can't buy out a wharehouse I can buy what they want to sell. If I have to I will borrow money to cover it. AND If it is that much like $25,000 or more I guess you'll be coming to Pittsburgh and we will work something out and buy it together.

    LOL.....If the money is right I'll help you in any way I can and I do travel if I think there is money to be made...........If you do run into whole warehouses of e-waste and need some help let me know as I have offered to back deals before on here but never been able to pull the trigger due to logistics etc.....I wish you all the luck in the world and after your first big buy you will know how you fared and adjust accordingly
