Roughly how many of these make a Lb?

**CTscrapman** · 07-13-2014, 08:58 PM

It takes about 20-25 3.5" platters... 150-200 al spacer rings... And magnets would be all over the chart depending on their size anywhere from 4 to 30ish??? Hope that helps??

**thebugguy** · 08-05-2014, 03:51 PM

CTscrapman-

A couple quick questions- are you still taking platters? Any size? Mixed sizes?

Do the hard drive magnets have to paired up, or will you take singletons? Does it matter if they are scratched up a little bit (from being pried off each other with pliers) or do the magnets have to be "cosmetically perfect"? What if they're paired up but one chunk of neodimium peeled off one plate and stuck to it's sister (likely never to move again)?

Just curious. I don't have more than 5 or 10 pounds, but I'm trying to clear off some shelf space in the work room...

cheers,
thebugguy

I am taking apart hd they are three size of platters does that matter

**CTscrapman** · 09-01-2014, 07:10 PM

No the size of the platters does not matter. They just cant be bent or have any drill holes... thanks

I just completed a transaction with CTscrapman and all went well. I sent in a combined shipment of HDD disks and HDD magnets in USPS Medium Flat Rate boxes. I might have been able to do a better job on the shipping costs but a 40lb box of magnets is above what I am supposed to lift and it is more than I want to lift(medical reasons). Time between shipment arrival and payment(PayPal) was very fast.

I am happy CTscrapman is a buyer on the forum. Mike

I am ramping up to putting together a shipment of platters and magnets. I just need to wait to get paid so I can order an adapter to test/wipe the HDDs. I’m going to sell the ones that have good resale value on eBay and scrap the rest. Looking forward to doing business!

**CTscrapman** · 09-15-2014, 06:37 PM

Thanks Mike, it was a pleasure working with you. My postmen must hate coming to my house I've had 70lb boxes show up. you might want to look into regional boxes next time might be a little cheaper.

**TechForTroops** · 11-25-2014, 12:55 PM

Hi, are you still buying magnets? At what price? Thanks.

**ETTRAN** · 11-27-2014, 07:43 PM

**armygreywolf** · 11-27-2014, 10:00 PM

I wanted to add a review, although it'd be several months old by now. I sent hard drive magnets flat rate to him, paid the day he received them. Excellent transaction.

**CTscrapman** · 11-30-2014, 03:04 PM

Hi all,
i have adjusted my prices a bit as the market for the items i buy has taken a down turn. Please see my thread for the changes. Sorry for any inconvenience.

**scalemomma** · 02-04-2015, 04:57 PM

Hey are you still buying magnets, HD platters and laptop HDs? email me your shipping address: i'm at tralfa57@yahoo.com
Thanks!

**armygreywolf** · 03-20-2015, 10:06 PM

Another review for CTScrapman. Sent two boxes of magnets, paid upon arrival, no fuss at all. A+

**Mechanic688** · 03-21-2015, 12:04 AM

The prices are from 11-30-14, are they still correct??

**armygreywolf** · 03-21-2015, 12:45 AM

You'd have to ask him. We just don't have many magnet options these days.

**CTscrapman** · 03-21-2015, 09:13 AM

Hi all, I just did an update of my current prices. Wolf thanks for the feedback and for keeping the magnets together in pairs for me. It makes life much easier on me.

**armygreywolf** · 03-21-2015, 12:55 PM

Not all were paired up, probably less than half but we tried to keep likes together...

**carolinaecycle** · 04-15-2015, 12:04 PM

Just checking to see if anyone here knows if CT is still buying magnets. Sent a PM and email, been a few days and no word back. Hope all is well
