Does anyone know if there are any decent escrap buyers in the Tri-Cities or Yakima Washington? Looking for a buyer for power supplies w/wire, CD/DVD drives with boards and floppy drives. Have way too much to haul back to Idaho with me. Thanks.

Bear, I'm scrapping from a friends house. The downside of it is each tower needs to go into the truck as soon as it's parted out. I'm sure that rule was made because there is a pallet or two of carcasses on the back patio from last time I was up here.
hahaha Joe, he shoulda took em off and sold em ; )
if you had time you could grab the CD boards and strip the power supplies and just toss the rest in the scrap. It's what I do here cause there's no money in shipping the rest
Pack them up and ship them off?
Just sent my first lot to ewasted. Shipped from the west coast all the way to Ohio.Even after shipping, it should work out very well.
I don't think Ewasted wants a 1000 pounds of power supplies showing up, but I may be wrong.
I dont think you could get shipping cheap enough to pay for the 1000 pounds of power supplies. Check the local yard where you are you might get lucky and they wioll take them as copper bearing. If not cut the wire and shred it?
PIS, I'll ask the yard that I'm hauling the carcasses to. I do know that they have some stupid copper laws up here, if they want to include power supplies too, I'll ship them out of state just for spite.
My local yard buys them as transformer class without the wire so there might be an option, .25 a lb, better than shred price.Quote:

why couldn't you sell copper and aluminum heatsinks ?
If you sell any non-ferrous in Washington for over 10.00, it takes 2-3 weeks to get a check.
dang! wonder what's it all coming to
All it's doing is creating a vibrant underground group of buyers and sellers.
