You could more than double your money selling to a buyer, even considering shipping. When I was buying the guys were sending medium and large flat rate boxes full and it was coming out to (roughly) 33lb -med. and 45lb -large for about 10.50 shipping and 15.75 shipping. Price was $1.00 a lb but I think it has dropped a little. Figure about .70 after shipping.

Really? Wow thanks for the tip. I didn't know anyone on here purchased hard drive platters for those prices, I send most of my e scrap to Ewasted on here but I never saw those on his purchase list. I'll look around thanks.
