$52.49 which is about .44 per pound.

First, let me ask this. Who did you send the material to? I would assume ewasted, since you posted in this thread, but if I recall correctly, there is another outfit with a similar sounding name that is nothing but a con job. And with the price you posted, I wonder if that's what happened.


Or the majority of your load was low grade.

gold has been going down and shipping going up as well as all other things needed to scrap e waste. tools, fuel ect.

for example a low end dell work station or hospital computer is now worth about $8 totaly scrapped out as apposed to about $12 a year or so ago. This BS that the inflation rate (cost of doing business or living) is at one percent or lower is just that total B.S.. just look at the cost of food utilities. fuel and other esentials that were dropped from the inflation index a couple of years ago.

Our gross inventory here at EcoSafe has risen dramaticly over the past year, but, because of inflation our bottom line is still about the same or even less if we dont watch our Ps and Qs. Un fortunately I have just never been a Ps and Qs kind of guy so it is a difficult learning process for me.

Just today we got in about 700 to 800 lbsand I will spend the day tomarrow shopping shippers, it has come to the point where a penney or two a pound is significant in the bottom line.

I also tend to give the customer the benifit of doubt on pricing unfamiliar boards. for fear of losing the customer, another habit I'm trying hard to break. If you are in danger of losing money on the deal then loosing the customer can sometimes be the right thing to do.

To chase down a scrap computer or even 2 or 3 paying $5 ea. for them then going to get them in todays market is a loosing proposition. many only realize that after 6 month or so of hard work only to realize their bank account is empty
and they are borrowing the mortgage or car payment to buy inventory. (been there done that). MCW Just sayin.

You have a lot of questions which can be answered if you read this section, especially the stickies at the top. Sorry about the payout, but I can't see Mario and company sending you a payment of 6 cents without at least trying to contact you to discuss what you sent them.
Sounds like you sent it to the place Mechanic referenced, if it is you are luck you got .06 out of them.

Someone did not do any reading up on what all to ship to buyers. Get a good idea on what is what, whats $ and whats not. My smallest shipment was $41. after 13. shipping. That was 48 lb of med grade

Order ranged from satellite receivers, dvd's, monitors, laptop, cable boxes, printers, stereo, cellphones, computer towers, TV's, few cpu's, HD's broke down, etc. I know the tv boards are not worth sending anymore but I sure thought the rest of my boards would bring more. What am I doing wrong, should I be pulling something off boards other than metals/plastics/wire?? I have read so many posts here which was, and still is, VERY helpful on breaking things down but I just don't understand where I went wrong. I also scrap copper/brass on the side which seems a lot more profitable for me.....but, I LOVE tearing things apart and seeing what goodies are inside.....some say I am HAMMER HAPPY. LOL Although what I thought was goodies seems to have been just crap. Obviously I have a lot more to learn about e-scrap which is why I am turning to you for help on this. I'm not a quitter so I am determined to learn this part of scrapping...should I be pulling all the little black doo-hickey thingys (eproms and ic chips I think) off of boards separately, there were a lot of those on the boards. Also, is there only specific boards that are worth sending, already know tv boards are not worth it. Any guidance is appreciated. Don't want to work my *** off for .06 cents again. I read, read, and re-read posts here daily so perhaps my brain is not comprehending what the hell I've read about. Thanks for letting me vent

Cash for Computer Scrap is the one we use! Not the other one Cash for Electronic Scrap! If you did send it to that other company call and complain about your prices and they usually will pay you a little more. If it was from Ewasteds company as stated you should have a print out of all items weight and value...

My check got here in less than a week, Short answer to your main question in my opinion you want green computer mother boards, Hard drive boards, and the big boards out of the cd rom player from the computer. for boards if its brown leave it down..JM$.02

Sorry for the double post, i forgot, you do want to send in the other colored mother boards just know they bring less than the green ones. Remember to remove the cpu and heat sinks from the boards. And remember that right now the prices are a little depressed due to the dipping value of precious metals so know that going in for right now.. Hope this helps, keep your chin up and get after it!
