His price list is on the first page of this thread. He does not buy platters that I know of. You are better selling those on E-bay.Quote:

wanted again to say thank you to ewasted payed way more than expected ,thank you again .No on platters i wish i known i had 200 lbs of them and got less at scrap i didnt know no i do ,.
After seeing all the postive reviews for ewasted i sent out my first load to him today.
i am ready to send my 1st shipment. i contacted ewasted for a quote to compare with the one i have but have not heard back from them since yesterday. if i do the lot/quote number on the website do i have to use the shipping label or can i pay for shipping on the front end? does anyone that has used ewasted know?
ok, i see how it works now. after you submit the info on the web site you are sent an email with your account info. once you log in you can click on a link for the shipping label where you enter your package size and weight then you receive another email that tells you how much the shipping will be. so, in short, once you request a quote you are not locked in to using their shipping option. with that said, their quote was about 15 dollars cheaper than the cheapest quote i received from anyone. thanks, guys...i look forward to doing a lot of business with ya'll.
You can use and pay for your own shipping. I have a Fed Ex account so I have used that in the past.
I know right? I am about to send my first load, 2000-2500lbs (could be as much as 3000lbs total) in a few days via freight. This requires a lot of trust but because of the amount of positive reviews and the pricing I think its the best option, the freight is only a measly $233, that's soooooo cheap compared to any other alternative. Hopefully all goes well and I have someone to continually ship loads to. I look forward, nervously, to the results. I'll let ya'll know how it goes!Quote:

There were several types of material, all sorted and separated before shipment. There were some very high value and very low value materials, so there was a lot of room for "variance", and I would have had zero recourse. His weights exactly matched my certified scales, and I didn't send him my numbers, just a total shipping weight. He paid exactly according to his posted rates. I received a check 8 days later. This is the way things should be done.
Now, about prices. Love this guy's memory prices. And though most other materials have good pricing, I have buyers that will pay well over his rates on certain materials but I have spent years cultivating these contacts. I'm not saying he's unfair, he did exactly as he promised. Everybody has to consider their profit margin, or they won't stay in business.
My assessment: honest, accurate, and timely.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be sending him gaylords of memory.
You say you love his memory prices but wouldn't send him gaylords of memory?Quote:

I also agree with Shendog, please share this CPU buyer. I want to sell pentium pros @ $60 per cause ill clean house for that, and please don't say ebay.
Mario is by the far the most reviewed, most respected and busiest buyer on this forum.
*sniffle sniffle* Right when I send out my lotQuote:

Oh yeah, I read that you also buy IC chips at $5/lb, is this still accurate, I didn't see it on the price list? I have 61lbs at the moment.
Meanwhile, I got to go weigh my load before I ship it tomorrow!
I thought I'd clarify a few things.
First, I have no issues with ewasted's business. His prices are comparable or beat most companies that I've dealt with. I've found that companies that pay better usually won't deal with you unless you have x tons, a truckload, or even guarantee them x tons per month.
Secondly, about my CPU guy: The trick here is volume. Massive volume. He claims to sell single-material truckloads straight to a refinery. I suspect that he sends it overseas (and from there?). What I do know is that I send him gaylords of CPU's at a time; and I'm one of the smaller guys he buys from. Also, although his CPU prices are extraordinary, he specializes; he doesn't pay as much for other materials. I even broker a few of his materials to some of my other buyers. Never underestimate the power of networking.
Ewasted runs a clean business. Payment is prompt and fair. And I intend to do quite a bit of business with CFCS.
I have to say I am always pleased with Ewasted.......I understand they are busy but every couple of days there is a check in my mailbox..........I can DIG IT!!!!!!!
Another bump for Ewasted, another smooth transaction. He is very prompt on any questions i have. I'm a small timer shipment 100lbs or less usually but still he treats me as good as anyone. His prices are very good and when i have questionable items I know i can trust him to pay fairly. I also like the prepaid shipping labels. Can't go wrong with Mario! thanks bud.
I think you misread the post he said otherwise he wouldn't be sending him Gaylord's. Not that he wouldn't. Thus implying that he already is, or will do so in the future.Quote:

Great customer service and it was very nice to feel like my business was appreciated. These guys are doing it the right way and for myself, they will continue to get my business without question. Great experience all the way around.
Thanks again Mario.
wow thats cheap thats less than .10 lb ,but our first load like yours i drove it also was very informativeQuote:

Yeah I really wanted to drive mine down but couldn't find the time, ironically a day after I sent it out an opportunity to do so opened up. I should mention that $233 is with me loading it, it would be $333 if we had required a liftgate, still that is good I think. At least I don't have to worry about variables like getting a flat tire, a car accident, weather, etc... I really wanted to drive my first load down for the very reason you stated though, but I decided that since Ewasted has quite the impressive reputation and I would save some money freighting it that I would pass.Quote:

i forgot to check sorry have been dealing with audit related items. I shouldve delegated this.
Anyway, the battery and aluminum heatsinks need to be removed. Also if there is excess metal on the rear of the board, behind where the cpu resides.
The connectors etc can stay.
make sense, I just want to get optimize my totals and finally go and get a shipping quote to your address I will probably use UPS and be sending 100+ lbs
I find for me that boxes less then 70 pounds(difference from 69 to 71 pounds was $10) give me the best bang for my buck shipping wise. Last time I compared Fed Ex was cheaper then UPS.Quote:

I might have to start out small then all my hard drive, optical and floppy drive boards, ram, miscellaneous plugs, fingers, will have to go that might not even make it to 50lbs who knows I need to weigh it all. I do have like 70+ lbs. of motherboards.
I just sent about 43 lbs for $18. and change. Cheap shipping thru Fedex. Ewasted's label.Quote:

Yes that was his shipping charge using Ewated's label
Headed out for my first visit with Ewasted!!!!
just want to say thanks to Mario and his crew for an awesome overall experience today. Great bunch of people out there at cashforcomputerscrap !!!! outstanding and they even stayed late for me to come in for my first visit to see them. Awesome they definitely got my business with that kind of service!!! looking at scheduling my next drop off with them.
These guys are definitely a great company to work with. I sent a pallet weighing 675 lbs to them last week, which they made incredibly easy to do. I've never shipped anything bigger that a small flat-rate box to anywhere before this and had no clue how to go about shipping a whole pallet, but the customer service rep was able to walk me through the whole process.
The shipping rate they got me was great also. It ended up costing me a little over $200 to ship it, or about $.30/lb.
Then the payout ended up being several hundred dollars more than what I expected. I was thinking it wouldn't be more than $2,500, but it ended up being over $3,300. They were great to work with, and will definitely be getting all my e-waste in the future
I just sent my first two pallets of material up and it went like clock work! I had the stuff kinda rough sorted in boxes (kept box weights all under 80lb) and the freight arrangements were sweet too; Mario took care of all of that and it was like 100 bucks a pallet (I was quoted 300). It is hard to find folks who do what they say will these days and you can bet I will deal with these folks from now on.
Just finished up our first transaction with Mario as well. Just under 700 pounds. Shipped out at .25 per pound. Fast turnaround and had a check in 10 days. Have another 2 -3 pallets ready b next week. Nothing but good reviews from me.
I have sent boards in from flat screen tv's. I'm not sure exactly how they were all graded, but none were considered low-grade. I send in any board, regardless of the source, if it is green with a decent number of IC's or gold tracings.
Pricing updated!
What is the cost for a wire transfer as payment?
