    Just a few I found via a quick search of our handy dandy appropriately titled Scrap Buyers & Sellers section.

    Probably more members than that buying what you're selling here as well.

    Click the "scrap buyers and sellers" link along the top of the website. Tons of buyers in there have their prices and buying categories listed, instructions on how to contact/send to them, etc.

    Even if you dont end up selling to them it at least tells you what to break things down into and gives a "price to compare" vs local places (if you have any) that buy e-waste.

    If you already have a truck and a bunch of material, you already have a leg up on most people starting out, good luck!

    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

    Seattle ?
    You will be in a good area to find a escrap buyer. Try the buyers on scrapmetalforum first. That will probably all you have to do.

    Or, call your local scrapyard. You HAVE to know their pricing before you turn up with the goods.
    Or it's likely they will offer a really low price based on the fact you turned up there to sell it.
    And they just sell it to another scrapyard that has contacts, who sells it to their buyer, who's either a escrap dealer, or sells it to the refiners/Copper smelter.

    It's probably going to end up in Canada or America at a Copper mines refinery setup where they coprocess escrap since it's the same thing they have to do to their mined Copper.

    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.
