    There isnt much to know, (well there is lots to know, but its pretty basic until you get into the thick of it)....

    go here, https://www.scrapmetalforum.com/scra...scrap-$$$.html

    or to any buyer on the buyers page https://www.scrapmetalforum.com/scrap-buyers-sellers/ .

    .... Look at the categories and prices they have.

    Separate the stuff you have, into the categories they buy, and when you have enough that looks like itll fill a pallet, you can send it off to cash in.


    The categories should be pretty obvious (gold ram, cell phone boards, motherboards, etc)


    There is about 1000 other variables and things that go into E-waste, and a bunch of other considerations to make, that you'll learn over time finding out what works for you and in your specific area and situation.... But it would take like 50 pages for me to spell out the entire business to you, which me and everyone else on here probably isn't going to do. And even if I did, there is no garuntee what works for me and in my area, would work the same for you in your area. Depends on supply, demand, local scrap yard options and prices, the amount of time you have, how much you value your time, etc, etc ,etc


    My best advice, when you have questions, type them into here or google, and see what answers you can find on here. 90% of the job is just getting your hands on enough materials, and for the right price. Everything else comes second to that. So if you already have a good amount of stuff, you will make out just fine (probably)

    as far as pictures, upload to imgur.com and it will give you a link you can paste in here to show/share your pictures

    I would keep your expectations low. You are going to spend a lot of time for a little bit of money.

    Repairing is the big money maker. Buying and selling used items is as well. Escrap should be the last resort for products.
