Ewaste Buying from Stores

I started buying by the piece recently. It's easier for people to understand the price list that way.

Don't let the tech guys get you down. Having a good head for logic based things is one kind of intelligence. Social skills are a completely different kind of intelligence. It's not all that often that a person you run across is well versed in both.

Tried to talk with an old friend that's a really good automotive mechanic this afternoon. There's some work that i need done that's out of my range as a shade tree mechanic. Completely hopeless .... i might as well have been talking to the wall for all the good it would have done.

That's what I was thinking, but I feel like it would be a hit or miss with things like mobos and finger cards where the size can alter the price very quickly.

I averaged.

For example: I took 10 lbs of random mixed finger cards and figured the average number of cards per pound.

Same thing with the mobos. It was an average mix of large & small socket.

You don't have to get too fussy with it. Just figure in a reasonable margin of profit for yourself and then check it from time to time to make sure it's still running true. I'm just a (very)small timer so it's not the end of the world if it doesn't work out. No big loss.

The nice thing was that it made it a lot faster & easier to do the pay outs. It eats up a lot of time when you have to weigh & itemize everything.

The fewer the line items you have .... the easier it is for the buyer and the seller.
