If he does it would probably only be worth it if you were close enough to deliver them with your other boards.

Yes mario buys low grade TV, crt and DVD boards.

Other than this minor concern every shipment has been very satisfactory and a good deal with little hassle. Thank you for your service.

That would be good to know as I have been cutting and collecting them for some time now and have four 5 gallon buckets full with the understanding from reading a bunch of posts that gold connectors are all classed the same unless they are military grade.

I also have a box of the connectors.........I thought they were all the same

What kind were they?

This unfortunately is going back to April. I sort of remember seeing these and infact rarely if ever (3 or 4 times in the last year) have downgraded connectors. These i think (not positive) were extremely heavy, with virtually no gold content. Looked like microphone ends or something to that effect. If I am incorrect I apologize and may have mixed it up with someone else's lot. Since it is so far back these are gone. This is a good time to remind everyone, please report back to us with any issues within a day or two if there are any issues or perceived issues with your lot.

For example - "mixed computer plastic" is very vague. Does he mean just computer plastic, or other electronic plastic from printers etc? Also what types? I have seen ABS, HIPS, PS, PVC, PC, and some with no code at all. I emailed him a few months ago and the answer was this...



It would help many people out and he would not have to answer so many questions.

It would not take that long to create simple ones and then expand from there. Example: One for memory could pretty much just include the 4 types and a picture (Gold, Tin, RAMBUS, Mixed).

Hello
That is a good idea. We are working on a revision right now of the site which will include some of that.
My response was meant to read computers, printers, monitors 90% or more. Reason being 10% or less can be from TV's, routers, etc. That was typically what we had seen. To offer a "menu" of pricing on the plastics is not economically viable.

The issue with the connector was that it was for some sort of audio purposes, even our pricing offered was probably ambitious. I just looked at the top of our connector gaylord and saw two cigarettes.... no one in our company smokes. How do we communicate we dont buy cigarettes as gold connectors?

My fear with putting too much info on our site is the MAIN aspects of our site are being over looked... such as "INSERT A PACKING SLIP" and the part about a human generating quotes during normal business hours. Adding more information, making the site more " Busy" will create even MORE questions.

If you guys have any feedback please email us. I am happy to have this discussion on improvements.

This thread is VERY long and I truly want to keep it relating to feedback/reviews and some important instructions and updates. Discussions regarding our service are best discussed over the phone or via email.

Your weights were close to his because he uses a bathroom scale too

All I can say is that I base my biz model after these guys and buy accordingly.........Never met the folks in person as I am about 10 hours away but I am constantly boxing my material and sending it in............Never been screwed as a matter of fact gotten more than I hoped for.........As far as sorting I probably don't do a very good job but I figure if I sort it they are going to resort it anyways.........I do try to separate gold memory, gold connectors, hd boards, cell phones etc..........The rest of the boards I have a fair grasp of what they should be graded but these guys are obviously pros!!!.......Thanks again and by the way just bought 5000 lbs of servers so I will have plenty coming your way

I wonder how bad we all are at sorting it for them. LOL I do think it helps somewhat! Or I just hope so!
