    just a box of mix from regualr green fiber to pentium pro. box weighed almost 50 pounds. You would be surprised how many cpu's you can fit in a large flat rate box when you stack them pin to pin like a sandwich before putting them in the box.

    you can get about 50 pounds of copper top cpus in a flat rate box, so say you paid $6 per pound and selling for $10 per pound. subtract out $15 in shipping and your still looking at a 60% profit.

    PTS, I appreciate the tip on how to place them in there. Will keep that in mind if the whole refining thing doesnt pan out.

    I am not sure what is wrong with what I said to PTS. He offered advice on how to place them in a box to be shippped, and I thanked him for the tip?
