Ill give you 2 examples of better than scrap value that you can make right now since we are in the same town. It takes on average 23 sticks of ram to make a pound. I pay $2 for each 1gb stick of ram that would be $46 a pound. Granted thats if they each check out good. Second hard drives. Any hard drive 80gb or more I will pay between $1.50 and $10.00 each. The average hard drive weighs 1.25 pounds and I think the most any buyer on the forum pays for them is $1.10 per pound. So scrap value on whole hard drive is $1.37 on average.
