    I'm willing to help people who are interested in starting a business, I have started plenty of my own and received a lot of help doing so. But you can't tell someone how to start a business, you can only give someone advice. Lead them to water so to speak. So while I'm not going to give anyone my contacts or business partnerships I have developed on my own, I will tell them how to go about doing so themselves. If they choose to develop their own or not, is up to them.

    I think I understand what you are trying to say!

    At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan

    I have been thinking about this for a long time to be honest. I would like to at some point in the future, set up a full blown e-waste/i-waste recycle facility. So while waiting as my solutions are digesting material, I spend a lot of time looking on the internet at auctions, companies, re-marketers, etc.

    There are a ton of places to get computers from. Schools are a great place, government auctions, city, county, state and federal, military government auctions, large corporations, business closures, pickup from residential areas. The people who scrap on this forum, and have this type of material are working their you know what off for it. Just read some of the threads, and you quickly realize that people who scrap are not only extremely industrious, but are very hard working individuals. You cannot make it in this business and be a slacker by any stretch of the imagination. There is prodigious amounts of information and discussion on the very questions you have all over this forum, if you use the search function you will be rewarded with a wealth of information beyond your imagination. Like I have said before, this is probably the single most important repository of scrapping/recycling information on the internet, anywhere in the world. Surely far more than any library or college. With this one resource you will find all the information you need to start and operate a successful business in this field.

    My point is this, you can ask questions all day and get the type of answers you see already in this thread. Or you can put in a little bit of the work that you are going to have to put in a lot of in the future and find everything you need right here.

    All you really have to do in this business is try as hard as you can, for as long as it takes, and you will be rewarded with a business you can be proud of, that will last your entire lifetime if you manage and operate it correctly.

    See Wolfwerx's post above...............That is HOW you start a business, you learn how to get ewaste and who to sell it to/what to do with it. If you haven't got that set, you DON'T know how to start the business.
