1956, If your just out looking for electronics to brake down for the curcuit boards your not going to make a living at it. What you need to do is start buying curcuit boards and flipping them. On your side of the state there should be some good buyers, you might have to look around for the right one. I would not sell e-waste to a scrap yard, they are in the scrap metal business. I've been doing this for almost 6 years and just now started making enought money to support myself without having a regular job.

E scrap? Never works alone You need to use combinations with e scrap to profit... Steel is your booster... Copper is your adder.

Take it from me, The road is only easy if you can get the right combo

There are quite a few on here that would disagree with you..All they deal with is Escrap and seem to be doing fine. I prefer a mixture of things to keep from getting bored.

Steel= computer cases, dvd/floppy cases,ups
Copper= #2 insulated power supply wires, power cords, heat sinks, chokes
Aluminum= heat sinks, hard drive bodies
Motors= transformers from ups, dvd drives,floppy drives
Brass= ups,resistors on heat sinks
lead batts= ups
Gold,silver,platinum etc= self explanatory
I think there is plenty of combinations with escrap to make a living. You just know what to look for and how to get to it.
