My local board buyer has flaked out and his prices were too low anyway. So i will be getting a big load together to ship out, the wifes been getting on me about my stockpile in the garage, as its starting to get cold again and she wants to use it again.
Yea i wasnt sure about the floppy drives. Ive jus been breaking the gold connector off with pliers, removing the plastic off the front and tossing them in the shred pile. My local yard says he will anything that looks like metal. He wont say directly that he will take electronics obviously. So i am satisfied with that answer. The cd rom drives ive been getting out the boards and sellig the casing as shred then the plastic guts with the motors ivd just been tossing in the trash, to much work to take it apart for 2 tiny motors.

Grab those motors with a bigger pair of channel locks and give a twisting jerk and they'll usually pop right off, those are small screws there holding the motors.then the plastic guts with the motors ivd just been tossing in the trash, to much work to take it apart for 2 tiny motors.
We took several pictures this weekend. We will get those taken care of this week. Excess metals - the Battery, Steel plate on the rear of CPU (sometimes plastic) and the heat sinks.

I wish I had read the first page more carefully, I just finished today taking all the steel brackets off my many many fingercards, even though it clearly says too on the first page.Originally Posted by Ewasted
On a side note, when using the website to request a freight quote does it show us somewhere once we submit for one that it is currently in the process?
Also, if we want to drop-off our material at your facility should we contact you directly to set that up or use the info@cashforcomputerscrap.com route, or other?
Thanks
Hi Blue,
A human needs to do the quote so typically it is done within a few hours of receipt M-F between 8am and 430 pm.
Contact the general mail box to schedule an appointment. Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response,
For some reason I thought it said somewhere on the website that I had submitted for a freight quote and then when I looked later I didn't see it, so I was wondering whether or not one had gone through is all. Thanks for the information.

Have not seen on your price list, or in this thread, whether you buy the platters out of hard drives. If you do, what is the pay out? Thanks!
|
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.
Platters are purchased at clean hard drive pricing: $.44/lb

After seeing all the postive reviews for ewasted i sent out my first load to him today.
Experienced Scrapper
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!
Metal Recycling Entrepreneur
wow thats cheap thats less than .10 lb ,but our first load like yours i drove it also was very informative
Experienced Scrapper
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.

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.
Prices updated today! If you shipment ARRIVED here by today it will received the pricing from 10/1/12
