Contact other scrapers in your area and ask them to sell you there computer finds. DO NOT over pay for what you buy. I still pay $3-$5 for computer towers. You NEED to have the experience of processing all those items so you will know the return for YOU. Be careful paying for everything before you know what you can make off of them. Prices change and if you read the old threads you will understand that from the examples in them.

Once you establish a price you pay to one of your suppliers it difficult to lower the price with out a reason other that you paid too much before. I learned this the hard way.
Thanks for the wisdom, Mike..much appreciated. LOL Yeah,the "Lots of gold" comment always makes me laugh too-THAT much I do know.
I am so thankful for this forum!!. Have a great day!



Also you run into people who try to convince you they know that "there's lots of gold in those computers". I have to work hard not to laugh at them when I hear them tell me that.

Again there are uncounted numbers of examples of where to find ewaste hidden in the old threads. Mike.
