I understand the veterans just know cause they been doing it awhile and like my business I know how much my parts go for if I have to fix one I don't have to look up prices. But on scrapping if you pay 4 dollar per desktop how do you know you will make that or more back? So is their guidelines I should start with starting out?
Thanks for reading

Yes, look at our buyers section and check out their price sheets, don't worry about your local yard, they will usually try to lowball you.
We even have niche buyers for things you might not even think of.

Here is a rough breakdown but remember the prices have changed. This is not counting what can be resold on Ebay, this is sold for recycling.
