    My advise is to hold on to what you have for now. Take any computers you can get for $3 or less. READ all the threads in the Electronics section you can. Remember that prices for board have gone down considerably over the last year+.

    You can make money with ewaste but really all the information you need to succeed is in the old threads. The biggest profits are in selling used computers and good parts from computers.



    The reason why its not a simple answer to how much should I pay is a complicated answer is like everything else we scrap but more so. Do you break things down before you bring them to the yard? We all do to some extent but it depends on how busy we are and what scrap we get. Best of luck Mike

    ps The previous answer to how much to pay ($5 and less if missing items) is a really great general answer. Mike

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked
