Morning everyone, this is aimed mostly to those like myself who ecrap. I came across a website called scrapindex.com and was curious if these prices seem right. If they look fudged, this will be another site I add to my 'do not use' pile. Looks like prices listed are more worth then what's being paid.
Computer / Electronics Prices - North America

Is a truck load a pick up or a semi?
semi
I wish I could get scrap computers for 130/TON........I would buy every truckload in America
I could see wholesale prices being $130 /ton out of China, India or South Africa. Buyer will probably have to pay shipping ( roughly $600 to import - not counting trucking )
Edit: wholesale low grade motherboards apparently are going for about $280 /ton from China, and whole computers are going for the equivalent of about $118 /ton out of India according to some wholesale scrap sites I looked at.
If anyone wants to sell at $130/ton my email is in my signature line that is delivered to 37917 zip
are those figures higher or lower then what everyone's been guessing or looking at - don't want to give false hopes.
I think these prices are correct $130 a ton is $.065 a pound so a truckload 40,000 lbs. would only cost $2600 and then lots of breakdown and time to make more money... how many pounds in an average computer 15 - 20? So that would be $1 to $1.30 eachQuote:

My offer stands noone has contacted me with computers for $130 a ton
Not sure what to say, maybe no one has a ton of units floating around. I was more interested in the component prices as that's my niche anyway.Quote:
