I'm not trying to pit one buyer against another, I just have to pay my bills and that means for the most part, going where top dollar is. I believe it's my responsibility as the seller to do legwork and smart selling.
I do prefer to sell to those on this forum though whenever possible and Ewasted has been very good to me in the past. With other buyers seeming to "specialize" in some types of
ewaste now I think I may have to start branching out in what I sell to whom to maximize my profits.
I appreciate everyone's input. Thanks again.
You are right about the heat spreader, pop that off and they instantly become worth more. I know I saw this in a lot of posts, but if you do a little work it adds value to the material, and refiners are a lot happier because they can spend their time refining, and not scrapping. We need scrappers who are knowledgeable and willing to put work into their material so that we can pay more, process more and make a living. If we have to scrap, then we are not spending our time refining, it's the refining that makes us money.
Little work = far more value to you.
