This is what FedEx does when you label your package "Fragile" it's like a challenge to treat it as badly as possible, this picture is UNOPENED, it looks like it had broke open and exposed the contents somewhat. I for one am very glad he shipped everything in motherboards because it would have otherwise have been lost entirely.

Another smooth transaction with TJ. Thanks again , more coming your way ! shazaam !

Small update, there was a delay in package processing. I'm mostly out of the shop these days on a larger project. I had some employee issues that resulted in termination. 2-3 hour lunchbreaks will do that. Anyways, I will be at the shop 3 days instead of 1 right now. I will be working the weekend to get up to date for those who still have inbounds on our shelves (not that many right now, less than half what it was this morning). Also, AMD price update after 18 months of steady prices the new cpu market has finally shrunk the amd resale market. There will be a shrinkage of ddr2 in the very near future. If you have ddr2 you will want to get it out before the end of august for sure I will be adjusting prices at the end of the month on older ram. 1gb ddr2 will likely end as resale before october.

TWO THINGS!!!

First, photobucket sucks, so any hosted pics from previous posts are now blocked.

Second, and this is the big news, we are winding down phase 1 of a large project which means as of mid-week next week we will once again be back to 2-3 day turnarounds. I have to remind people that if you send ALOT of material it should be obvious it will not physically test out within those time constraints. Single boxes of standard material (that being cpus and ram) should have a 48 hour or less turn around time from date of arrival at our door. To expedite this as fast as possible, we require an inventory, a cohesive packing of some kind (organization!). Also, of course, a payment method, a contact method and a well secured box. Payments are made on Tuesdays and Fridays for checks and M-F for paypal. Paypal will be pushed usually same day of settlement summary unless an adjustment is necessary (such as the addition of scrap).

Also some new procedures. We are no longer doing box receipt confirmations so KEEP YOUR TRACKING AND WATCH IT! We are reinstating email labels, but you need to provide dimensions and weight, We will ship FedEx or USPS and bill to your settlement summary. Insurance is up to you, we do not insure inbounds unless you request it. If you can't lose the value, insure it. All inbounds have pictures available for package arrival and contents conditions. Any obvious damage to either we stop our process and contact you first.

I have to bring this up over and over, all packages are handled in the order they are received. Packages without inventories or contact information attached are left unprocessed until we are contacted so PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS!!!

Hard Drives, Graphics Cards and Motherboards (as well as whole systems and non traditional parts) will have additional lead time simply because it takes longer to process them through our equipment.

We are also developing a co-location facility of which I will update the forum on at a later date. With copper and gold up, I will also adjust prices tomorrow.

Oh and one more BIG thing for everyone. I've been developing our own bios and memtest distro for our test rigs for years now. It turns a standard $40 motherboard into a precision test rig, more accurate than most multi thousand dollar testers. I have successfully converted our server rigs to reduce lead time. At the same time we have built two 24 bay hard drive wiping rigs as well as our original 18 bay further decreasing hard drive turn around time. We are also fully DDR4 capable in desktop, server and laptop variants. We can test UP TO 64GB ram modules. I will have a few pics up of our progress next week.

most of what we do is not so much "labor intensive" as it is machine intensive. I only have so much space and we already dedicate a server rack and two full size 4x8 foot custom built tables to memory. Our cpu rigs take up 16 feet of shelving space and our area for motherboards and graphics cards is now 30 feet worth of pallet racks. It has been a trial to streamline the processing and now we have it down to a science.

Thanks jimicrk. Yes the links provided at the top are current prices. Beware that DDR2 is falling off very very fast. I will be ending 1gb ddr2 within the month.

Excuse the mess today, I am updating all of the google sheets for scrap and parts so the prices are cohesive.

Updates for incoming hard drives. We are switching to a serialized adaptec secure erase software using a dedicated storage array for the job. We will NOT be using dban in the future. This process has been both approved for nist and is hippa compliant. We made this change at the request of our insurance provider. It also includes a two method controlled access to the equipment and 24 hour surveillance of the same. The server cabinet we have installed the system in has it's own alarm and is bolted to the floor. Likewise the system is OFF network, it is not accessible from the outside or internal networks. Drives awaiting destruction will now have their own secure secondary storage as well.

Lastly for today, DDR2 2gb memory prices have gone down. Sales have been nonexistant and we are probably going to close down 1gb ddr2 in a few weeks.

More news. We are standing up a second warehouse in Oklahoma City. It will be a small receiving facility with some resale testing functionality (ram, cpus, some graphics cards etc). We have chosen this location to centralize ourselves within driving distance of many forum members and businesses in that area. At present I am preparing to take Germantown located equipment to the new site sometime at the end of the month. I will be spending 1-2 weeks in the area and can provide purchasing services for anyone who would like to sell their boards, general e-waste or send resale material to this new site. The new site will be BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. They will have both pickup in the area and drop off functionality as I already stated. Smaller lots can be sorted and paid on site larger lots will have payment paypal'd or paper check mailed to you. Please keep in mind this is a feeder facility so if you send large amounts of unsorted material it will take more than a day or two to settle the sort. All prices on the forum posts are up to date, google sheets prices for resale are also up to date, google sheets scrap prices will be updated between now and Friday, call or email for more information if you have questions.

When mailing scrap, you may be given a different than usual address depending on workload at each facility. LTL shipped scrap will go to the cheapest location to ship based on commodity prices. Full Truckloads will continue to come to the Wisconsin facility for now.

Thanks everyone and have a great week.

Starting a project out east this month and part of next. We are back to friday through monday work schedules at the shop. All personnel myself included are out of state starting Tuesday.

1GB DDR2 has been retired, it is now scrap. If you already sent a box, don't worry, you made the cutoff. Ultimately we decided against further drop in price because the sticks per lb makes it more valuable as straight scrap.

Some news, I am traveling to Oklahoma City On Tuesday, thru Friday. I will be taking I80 to I355 and then I35 to OKC. If you live a reasonable distance or can meet me at a truck stop and have material that you want to sell (and save the shipping) AND it fits in my truck...I can help you out. either on my way down or back. Use my contact information to get ahold of me tomorrow or Monday. If you have a SIGNIFICANT load and really really want to sell it, I can and will bring my trailer but it must be truly significant, at least two gaylords of boards or higher value material.

I will be making this trip periodically for the rest of the year so if you miss out, don't worry I will be back.
