analizing my e wast buy from yesterday

picked up 5 towers, and 6 motherboards. cost $30 + $20 in fuel dont count my labor because if Im not doing any thing its value is 0.

got 10 lbs of mother boards nd cd drive boards X $4 $40 got 5 low grade cpus and 3 slot processors, and 1/2 lb finger boards so lets say 1 1/2 LB at $12 = $18 total $58 made $8. on one hand the cost of fuel is a big factor. and the profit is marginal to say the least.

so my conclusion to spend $5 per comp any less then 5 at a time is a looser.

We pay from $2 to 4 depending on whats inside or if it's complete. I see quite a few that people get rid of that is missing the HD or memory. Those are not worth 4.

We buy them per pound.

^^^ just out of curiosity..(and sorry for the hi-jack) but what do you pay per lb? not on your price list :)

Thanks.
