Anybody dealt with them? They are about 20 miles from my current residence. (they are in Holland, MI)
Screwy company name. I emailed them asking for a current price sheet for what they buy. Time will tell.
Only open 3 days a week, and worse than bank hours?8-l
Take the time to read the buyers threads here to compare prices before you give them anything. Also make certain you are getting a good check or cash. Mike.
When you do grt prices figure shipping costs vs driving costs, and let us know what the prices are!
I have a creeping feeling they want the free drop off/pick up more than anyone elses business where they might actually pay someone for product...
I did see that they charged .25/# to take CRT glass.
Oh, don't worry about that, I got screwed once before. Never again... I hope.Quote:

I might try to get them to stay late to sell plastic, since it beats driving across state about 30-50% of what the buyers on here are paying. Not sure how to gauge how much plastic weight I have to justify a run down there. I wouldn't mind if it was break even, just to see what they look like and maybe try to expand their price sheets to try to fill some niche's
Most scrap yards would give you better pricing on all the non ewaste metals..
yeah, I noticed that too haha.Quote:

Those are total rip-off prices LP, box that stuff up and ship it, you'll more than recover your shipping.
Boxes are easy to come by, tape and labels are cheap
whats funny is if I lived there that may be me lol. i have experimented this last year on the prices i pay and the higher I pay the less I get cause people will just save and send to someone else so I only pay higher amounts to the regulars I have even though they do not really even care to much unless I lower it a lot but never had to yet. which I get a lot of business because I will pick up a single computer or a hair dryer for that mater. its funny cause some things there higher on than me lol. I pay 75cents lb for motherboards 90 for finger cards 10cents each power supply not per pound and 50cents each hard drive but I do not buy anything else unless its over 50lbs for cables and such.
I've been planning on hauling a load to you. A friend in my off road club gave me a tip on them, so I inquired like any normal person would do. I want to do business with you, but I don't think I have a big enough load to justify the pickup? email me at gearhead318@gmail.comQuote:

Go to that users profile and click on the "Add to Ignore List", as I and some others may now do for you. Thanks for the reminder about that function.
The "ignore" feature is more of a laugh. If I want to ignore someone, I no longer wish to even see their name, much less retain the ability to "view this post". What it does in actuality is allows you to totally block them from seeing you, while retaining the ability to watch them, which is the very method used by a stalker. It really should be titled as such, seeing as it does not allow you to ignore them, it only allows you to stalk, and should be labeled the "stalk" feature. If it was actually to ignore, or to block a person, it should block in both directions, and not just the one.Quote:
