    Hi folks

    Looking to learn some new scrapping tricks. I just street scrap E-waste because I don't have room for big stuff. I try resell the entire unit online if I can fix it up or it works, otherwise I part it out and sell. I've learned that its sell>scrap even if you don't think it will sell, just check online on ebay. I've scrapped some stuff I reallllly wish I'd have parted through or sold. Anyways the scrapping I do is just a hobby and stuff has been super slow, I haven't seen good street scrap on my commutes in over a year. I tried a craigslist ad and got one bite and that was two old PCs I actually cleaned up and sold online for 20 bucks a pop.

    Anyways that's what I've got, hi all.

    Hi and welcome to the forum from Las Vegas! Looks like you're already wise to resell as working or for parts before scrapping. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to. Time spent reading the old threads here will make your scrapping safer, more profitable and, probably, more fun. See you round the boards!

    I was once you, like 2 years ago. Before you know it youre going to be swamped with stuff.... so much stuff you wont even know what to do with it at first, so much stuff youre considering buying a used box truck and renting a storage unit...... if you want to expand it that big or bigger. You get out what you put in and it starts slow, but eventually snowballs and gains an unstoppable momentum.

    Good luck!
