Regarding your motherboards, just ensure excess steel and aluminum are off as well as the battery. We can take it from there! Just don't put memory or cpus in-between motherboard layers... remember we have to remove the material from the box and the easier we can identify and locate things the less likelihood of any error(s).

Sounds good this is what I expected and obviously wouldnt expect to have you take my weights at my word. I will sort everything and separate to the best of my knowledge prior to when I send a larger board shipment soon, hopefully on a pallet.

10 lbs of motherboards
5 lbs of fingerboards
etc.

We will want to ensure no low grade product ships such as hard drives incomplete.(I did note your comment of what you are shipping but one of my folks will likely ask)

This first shipment is just going to be as much small stuff as I can fit into a large fla-trate box. I will sort each individual thing and have them separated somehow inside the container (I have used free post office large envelope mailers to keep stuff separate before in a box).

I will send an email to that email with lot number and the finalized itinerary/weights/items and wait to get a reply back from you prior to sending.

Thanks!!

Hello, one other question unrelated to the current pending shipment I have....

$0.40 Mixed Computer Wire

Which wires does this include? Im assuming VGA, hdmi, sata, parrallel/serial cables, etc, but what about AV/RCA cords, USB cord, ribbon wire withOUT ends, 3.5mm cords?

Just want to make my life easier by starting to sort now, so its easier to ship when the time comes.

NVM after reading all the posts in this thread I found:



"Q. What type of wire do you accept?
A. "Computer wire - power cables, video cables, ribbon wire with ends, lan cables, power supply wires, etc.
Only cable we DONT buy at that price is the plastic "ribbon" wire that is out of printers" - Ewasted

So it seems every type of wire you can imagine, except ribbbon. is ok

I think I know what you mean. The tiny, paper thin "wire" that is almost like a film is not acceptable.... Ive seen them in printers for sure.
You are saying none of this:

When I think of "ribbon wire" I think of like IDE wire like


It is flat and thin like a ribbon. I cut the ends off and keep them in 1 box on these, then put the cable/wire part into a seperate box, so that i have a ton of. The first stuff I dont have any of which is fine since it weighs nothing anyways

Not that Ewasted needs any more people vouching for him as he is well known on here... but just wanted to add to the positive reviews with my first experience selling to him.

Everything was processed quickly, and I got even more money than I had calculated out before sending. On his website, there is an itemized list of all your categories/weight so you know exactly what everything got split up into. Overall, very easy and painless process. I will sell to him again in the future for sure.

Another great transaction. Thanks for answering all my emails. Better than expected return!

Hello E-Wasted, I almost have my large load ready to send to you. Just have to finish sorting a load I got today of a few hundred lbs of electronics.

Just one questions, do you have a price/category for

lowgrade brown boards
midgrade green boards (like out of alarm clocks, washers, etc)
high grade non-motherboard green boards (like from routers, cable boxes, peripheral boards, etc)
backplane boards (like that are in the back of a server that all drive plug into or all blades plug into, etc)


Pleas let me know if you can provide any info on these types of boards, if you accept them, current prices etc.... I have at least 100+lbs of each of those categories.

Thanks!

Last month sent 6 box's, processed quickly and accurate! As always A+ transaction. Have anoth 300-400 lbs that I will ship

So I noticed the little bit earlier post... "large load", which I know is subjective. I'm curious if the amount was overstated. which once again, is neither here nor there. But I know a full gaylord scales right around 2k. I'm betting a full gaylord of scrap boards doesn't hit 1k. Full RAM, yes, maybe. Just curious if anyone has been able to trip a pallet over 1k gross.

I would take you on that bit regarding boards How much do you want to bet?

Boards is a broad term... power boards can easily hold 1000 lbs in a gaylord box.

I would think 1000 pounds in 1 of the larger gaylords is very doable. I had sent a Full Truckload to Mario about 3 years ago. I had about 4 gaylords of mixed motherboards, finger cards, peripherial, mid low and telecom. I believe there was over 2000 pounds between these catagories. The gaylords I was using were 40" x 40" by about 2 to 2.5' and where octagonal, so you lost some space at all four corners. I currently have multiple gaylords full at my shop. The larger ones are 40"x48" by at least 40". These are full of P4 boards. I'm guessing at least 1000 pounds. Think about it, an average mother board is 1 to 1.25 pounds. 800 to 1000 motherboards and your there. 12 stacks of 80 motherboards, doesn't seem unreasonable when you stack them neatly and alternate them one right. side up, one upside down to save space.

It would actually surprise me with the power boards. As clumsy looking as they are, you wouldn't think you could pack them in that tight.

No, but I am better at getting weight estimates. I now don't have to go and scale up a pallet before I send it, like I did last time. Gross was 760 I believe, and it was straight boards. Pre shaken 10 times, and dirt road packed.

But hey, what does an idiot like me know? I drive 100 miles round trip for an empty gaylord, and I still pay for it.

I've been recycling for over 19 years, I e yet to pack more then 700 800lbs of motherboards in a gaylord. Packing nice as well. The avg I get is about 650 to 700lbs that's after rare. Even if it was mix. All you doing is replacing missing motherboards with fi keyboards or telecom.

So if Mario setting you straight. I would not bet against him. He is a honest and straight shooter.
