    sorry guys i quit scrapping due to this forum

    Your words not mine. I know you've said your good byes 2 or 5 times already but I do wish you would stay and read and learn and quit watching youtube videos where people are ripping circuit boards apart.
    I remember when I first started scrapping electronics and how excited and on fire I was. I've been working with phone systems and computers since 1984 and know that there can be some harmful stuff in circuit boards and their different components.
    I would suggest to any new member here to read, read, read, read and when you're sick to death of reading, read some more. There are so many threads here with pictures about identifying different metals and circuit boards and how to sort them. Don't worry about depopulating circuit boards right now.
    If you are into electronics, get you some boxes or buckets and put the boards that look alike together. Computers are easy. Motherboards go in one box and gold finger PCI cards go in a different box, ram in another and so on.
    I always have several boxes of "I don't know what the heck these are". Those boards are usually sorted by my buyer when I go to see him.
    Everything you need is right here but you have to learn to walk before you can run.
    I've been a member since Sept of 2013 and I'm still learning from old and new threads. Some of what I learn is about goats but most of it is about scrapping or selling for better than scrap value.
