Good idea. Will do. Thanks Ken.
Hello ladies and germs, been working on a few things, as I always am. Expect to see a website soon with a "form" you can fill out for your more than scrap value stuff that will result in an semi-automated quote on your shipment. Because of the nature of what I do, shipping and so on is a bit hands on, but this should expedite the process to same day/next day grab and go.
Of course as usual I do provide trays, containers, clamshells, antistatic foam, bags, bubble wrap at your request. There's a few guys waiting on such materials. Have no fear I was out of AMD trays and had to order more, they went out Thursday or Friday. I was also out of intel clamshells, I ordered 500 this time and another 200 21 place trays, should receive them soon.
Next order of business, I did not forget about video tutorials. I need to create a google account just for the business yet so I can setup a youtube account that isn't full of rant videos and motorcycles hehe. I will also expand the google docs tutorials to include Intel indentification of all the current chips I buy, identifying your graphics card, and other things to be on the lookout for that I buy. I will go over most of that in slideshow and video format.
Lastly, my current turnaround time is about 4 days. Small orders are faster of course but I had a few sizable lots to go through and it takes longer when I have to clean the processors to test them (hint hint).
PS. Shout out to everyone who's worked with me so far, including having to wait so long during some of these growing pains, I've moved shops twice now and hopefully this is a long term location for us. I no longer post my scrap prices for things not related directly to my buy list HOWEVER please refer your scrap selling to my partner Mudlucky. He's the man to talk to when it comes to scrap of any quantity. It doesn't matter which one of us buys it persay but he can definitely get you setup with shipping, or local drop offs.
So, that's the update for the week, as usual, if your not sure if I buy it, just ask me and happy scrapping everyone!
I came across this chip under aluminum it said Ross technology it was seated on gold pins and the bottom of the chip was shinning it looks like some weird robot stuff with some gel its all gold and the connectors are huge all gold does anyone know what this is? Dman
I have no idea what your talking about or why you are asking me in a buyer thread.
My fault I'm still trying to figure this out it gets confusing sorry about that I was trying to get rid of all this stuff .
Well, that's fine, but most of us work much better with pictures. And you can upload pictures via photobucket to post here.
DDR2 1GB is falling flat very very quickly and it looks like those who have alot of it are unloading it all over ebay as I write this. I may not be buying 1GB modules much longer. Tentative hold on ALL 1GB PC2-5300 until I can resolved a price for the next month.
DDR3 is dropping fast with DDR4 out in the wild now. There will be more information on this soon.
good transaction again.
I think I have finally nailed down a 7 day or less turnaround time for pretty much ANYTHING coming in. Last month I was able to get through 135 hard drives from test to wipe in about two days time. Of course...the office got pretty warm lol.
As usual we are buying laptops and desktops, tablets, cell phones and as always computer parts. I am adding and changing my lists to google drive spreadsheets so it's better organized. If your not sure what you have, feel free to contact me!
Additions to the mobile cpu buy list coming this week. I expect this should make older dual core laptops more lucrative for people.
Big thanks to everyone and a belated happy holidays. The price sheet is current and I've added several items. I am working on google spreadsheet that will have tabs to select what type of item you have and then you can look it up. It will be much more specific than listed here. I will probably leave highlighted items up and everything else will be a link to the sheet. The best part is, you can use that sheet as a printable inventory for packing.
Also, of course, we can and do send labels for shipping, we will send packing materials, drop shipping them as needed and if you need freight shipping we can arrange it. In fact in most cases when you have a variety of potentially valuable and somewhat bulky material it is MUCH safer to freight material to us than use FedEx or USPS. We see testing rates improve as much as 20% on freight items over standard shipping. If you live in WI, northern half of IL, the eastern corner of IA or possibly further yet, I can drive to you for pickup of material or meet you somewhere, this would protect and ensure the maximum return.
I hope each and every one of you has a successful year, enjoy it!
I would just like to say that TJ is a wonderful guy to work with. Brought out a few goodies packages to him and the return was a lot more than expected. He has great pricing and fast turn-a-round time, his communication is also great. Very good guy to deal with and looking forward to doing a lot more business with him.
It's been a hard couple of weeks but in the best of ways. You guys make it possible to keep me gainfully employed and I just want to give a heartfelt thank you to everyone who's sent shipments and well wishes in this endeavor. And guess what, the list is expanding even more! I will be adding some appliance control modules for refrigerators, ranges and microwaves...touchpads, sensors...level sensors for washers and humidity sensors for dryers...right now it will be heavily focused on best selling major brands less than ten years old.
Also I'm considering purchasing broken/old cordless tools (also major brands) that are not chinese. So stay with me as I move to expand further than computer parts.
Just wanted to say thanks to ArmyGreyWolf and company. Had a some CPU's and memory with better than scrapped value, great communication and quick turn around on a settlement for the shipment.
Thanks again for a being a great member buyer on the forums.

You are very welcome, I look forward to the next time.
Do re sell items need to be separated when i bring them in?
How long does it take to check the items and send a check?
If you are wanting to bring scrap and resale at the same time they will need to be separate. The resale items themselves should be accurately inventoried because I am going to create your settlement summary from YOUR inventory and correct it as I sort and test. This way if a package is damaged or something is missing all parties know before the sort phase. Anything you do to make it faster for me to process helps your processing time.
Single boxes can usually be done in 7-10 days. My son works on single box shipments every Saturday and Sunday while I spend my weekdays handling larger shipments of gaylord size. If you have significant material at present the turnaround time is not defined. I had an unusually large shipment come in and I am still working on it, the piece count was thousands and it simply takes time to get it done.
If a flat rate box sized shipment was sent today you could expect it to be done NEXT Saturday and a check in the mail same day...or sooner.
An update, some of you may notice the price sheets are moving to google drive. I've done this at the request of my regulars and to make it easier for newcomers to see what they have and it's value. If you are using a smartphone you can SAVE them to your sheets app and can use it as a quick reference guide while you work. I'm trying to figure out a website plug in that will let you pick what you have and it's quantity so it will create your inventory FOR you and because im disliking fedex more by the day...im hoping to automate the inventory and shipping. How it would work is like this:
You would peruse the buy sheets to see if you have anything I am buying. Then you would go to my website and pick the things you have and the quantity. You would then be able to ask for shipping supplies if you needed them and if not, pack and weigh your box then submit the form to receive a prepaid shipping label. I unfortunately have to approve the labels...it can't be automated. It could be weeks or months before I get it to work...and if it's truly beyond my capability I will hire someone to do the work.
Also. In the last four weeks I've had a DOZEN first timers and I'd like to give you all a friendly reminder to review the service you received!
Some changes! First, you guys have probably noticed the large share of the price lists have been condensed onto google drive. If anyone has issues seeing those price lists just let me know. Next, I am ramping up to buy appliance logic boards for those scrappers who want to bring in additional cash. high efficiency washers...newer stoves and even some high efficiency furnaces all have a "logic board" or control board that handles all the functions of the appliance. If there has been a mechanical failure or an element/pump or something else went bad but the appliance still tries to work...pull that board and mail it off. It's nice to know what it came from so try to put the make/model of the appliance with each board. The prices vary widely, but can go as high as 50 bucks. I can promise that it would be worth your time. I would also like to offer TV logic, timing control and power board purchasing on all 2012 and newer led/lcd tvs larger than 40" with screen defects/breakage but the unit still powers up. Contact me about any of the above and we can figure out how to get you started.
Hey, I still actually have about 40 TV's with broken screens (ie they were damaged in shipping to big box retailers). I can see what I have and we can see what sort of pricing you will have (most have 4 boards and then there are also speakers etc). PM me if you like. If it makes sense, I can start pulling them. I just do not have the time to ebay those.

Of course interested! Usually a damaged panel should still give you a solid power on light regardless for the first few seconds. If it blinks out (5, 7, 11 or 13 blinks) thats a board fault. 4 is a power fault and is ok for our purposes. This is exactly what im looking for, recent tvs with broken screens or tvs that were never sold because of shipping breakage.
I will see what I have and then we can figure out the details....wish I had known several months ago...I had about 100 of them. I sold several including some larger ones off to someone where they could strip and sell the parts. I will know by this weekend what I have.
Please see the google drive spreadsheets for updated pricing and new items on the buy list.
We have added the following: A full list of motherboards including their descriptions. As always, feel free to contact us with questions. If you take a picture of the board (so I can see the model number...) and text it to me I can give you an estimated value. We also encourage sellers to LEAVE the cpu in the board to protect the pins. Don't worry we buy the cpu too.
The graphics card list has been expanded as well, to include some older cards all the way back to the good old days of gaming, such as 9800GT, various elder cards with special PCBs or "overclock editions" and as always, any card with HDMI.
It has been asked more than once if I will produce a shipping label for you. I can and will, but it will be far more effective for you to simply tell me how much shipping was or send it in a standard rate box if your sending reimbursable material. The reimbursement is ONLY for i series processorsy sent in a single box. Another question has been about pallet shipping. Please give my posted phone number (at the top of this page) and email address to the shipper so that neither party has a delay in processing. Pallet shipments are processed USUALLY in a NET30 or less basis. Keep in mind motherboard and graphics card testing is time consuming and to be patient as we maximize your scrap value for you.
Lastly a big thanks to my regulars and the new sellers who have come along in the last few months, HAPPY SCRAPPING!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I just wanted to let you know that I recently sent TJ about 88 cpu's and had a great selling experience. I want to thank him for this, and encourage you to use his service to get more money for your i-series cpu's. Thanks TJ!!!
Army -
sent you an email to your listed email address the other day on some tv's (the boards in lcd tv's). I hadn't heard back, so I thought it might have gotten overlooked. LMK if you are still buying and what you are looking for based on the questions in that email). I have TV's sitting ready to have boards pulled and finally have the time to do them.
Thanks

I got your email. I would like boards from TVs with broken LCDs at this time, as in physically damaged. The reason is, my testing equipment is limited, while I can test the inverter and power boards of most tvs quite easily it's difficult to test main boards and timing control (I can on some models, I do keep common panels for testing). It would be even better if you provided pictures of the TVs damage and it's model number tag with the build date. Some Tvs have boards worth hundreds of dollars, such as the larger tvs and some smart tvs or even the newer 4k. I hope that helps and next time I'll make sure my response email goes to the right address.
TJ recently finished my shipment, great communication and quick processing and payment. Great price list on google docs, easy to navigate, and up to date. I would definitely recommend TJ and Wisconsin Specialty Recycling.
Your very welcome! Always a pleasure.
Updated all my lists, some pricing went UP!
IMPORTANT INFO:
I will be unavailable from January 5th through the 8th. We are going to CES in Vegas. The reason for our trip is to gauge the future of our niche industry, see cool tech, geek out on stuff and network. It's the only break I have had not due to illness since I started so if you have boxes with me and they aren't done yet by the 5th my apologies on the delay. Everyone who has a delivered package NOW will be settled before our trip.
Heh, it would be wouldn't it. But no, yours are going to take time. I am going to make an effort to put incompletes together and ordered parts in advance of doing so. Some of that stuff is coming from china (caddies...lots and lots of caddies with the 90 degree sata adapters). I will correct that statement, everyone but you, yours is simply too large to deal with in a few days. However if you get me that second box of procs, I will get those done immediately.
I rust received a nice check from Army for a nice lot that kept him busy for a while. I highly recommend sending your better than scrap items to him . He will work with you to get you the best prices. Read his terms and check his price lists.
He is one of the great buyers on this forum . I am putting together another lot to send him . You should too !
Happy New Year !
i have demand, do you use skypr or whats app? my skype is sophiagiga, ********:8615008476368.

AMD chip prices are starting to fall with bulldozer chips sunsetting in wake of coming Zen chips. If you are sitting on phenom or fx chips now is the time to get them out the door, I suspect prices will be down to 50% of today on AMD cpus by March.
TJ finished and settled my 7th shipment today.... Very happy doing business with him, keeps price lists up to date and always responds very quickly to questions.
Im a little slow but where do i see prices for amd cpu
Under the CPU heading the first link for a google doc. On that doc, there are tabs (bottom of the page when I opened on desktop, top of page when I open on smart phone) for different brands of CPUs and desktop verse mobile.

Little slow on the uptake guys, easing back into the regular schedule. I had a problematic ulcer buttoned up for good on Friday so I'm still a wee bit sore to sit at all right now.
