So...looking back...

Where on earth do you acquire THAT much?! The largest computer lot auctions up here are 50 - 200 units, mostly junk school units.



For me personally, it's not possible to make a business out of E-scrap. There are not enough sources. Most of the E-junk I do manage to get is lower end items no one else wants to touch, and is not worth the time to break down. *looks at pile* Not much in the way of old stuff.
Does anyone have the information on a cheap and efficient way to recover copper from junk boards ? I'm betting that is going to be the next 'big thing' once most of the gold is gone.

Lots of places accumulate it in large quantities, especially trash removal firms/dumps, some scrapyards, large school districts and more. Am guessing (but not sure) that accumulating that quantity would be less likely outside of a city.

I was looking at 20 pallet lots of towers and servers no more than 150 miles from you. There was 15+ lots of 20 pallets in each lot being sold.
