Do you buy clean, permalloy backing plates (off of hard drive magnets)? If so, are the nickel plated ones worth more than those that aren't plated? I understand that prices fluctuate; but, can you give me a general idea of the "average range" price? All plastic, brass, etc. has been removed.

I wanted to take a minute to say thanks to Mario! I moved to Miami this summer, and my dad and Brother took over Thortek Recycling in lima. The ground work I laid, and my old man's ambition have really paid off! They loaded up the old man's new truck with 3000#'s of material to take to the team in mentor! Even after The team at cfcs found a great, and I mean GREAT freight price to send everything on pallets! (My step sister's husband the "freight broker" quoted $700 and the team at CFCS quotes nearly 1/3 of the price)

When the guys arrived today they thought they'd drop pallets and head back. NOPE Mario sorted the boards and cut them a check before they left town!

Amazing service and as a FYI pricing that is 25% higher than anyone else I've found!

Thanks!!!

Sorry if this sounds dumb, I just started getting into e-waste this year, and I was wondering with out going through the entire 19 pages and reading everything you buy e-waste and pay for the box and shipping?

Again I am sorry lol

He will send you a shipping label you print and he takes the amount out of the final pay, get your own box from the grocery or dollar store. His shipping is about a third cheaper than what you could get by yourself, from what I've read.

I like the Heavy Duty Medium Box from Home Depot that ends up holding about 70 pounds when organized. Going over 70# ups the shipping price substantially.

**happyisthealero** · 10-13-2012, 06:25 AM

Seems like I would be better off selling to him than selling on ebay no???

**mrsamsonite** · 10-13-2012, 10:28 AM

I enjoy doing business with E-wasted. The most important thing about choosing a buyer is that you can trust them and I trust Ewasted with my material. I have talked to some local buyers in my area (no one on this site), and I just dont feel like they are professional enough, they take a long time to respond to emails, they dont send a price list just general quotes over the phone. I've found the Ewaste buyer I am comfortable with and I look forward to doing long term business with ewasted.

I have sent a 14lbs, then 25lbs, then 70lbs, and my next load I would like to send 300-500lbs if possible to Ewasted.

Does anyone know if sending a freight shipment is that much cheaper per lb. for shipping?

Would it be cheaper than going with FreightQuote? I've already got an estimate from them for about $225 for 1500 lb pallet

In my opinion yes sell to ewasted......You know for sure what you are going to get with ewasted and I doubt he will give you negative feedback

**ScruffyJoe** · 10-14-2012, 11:21 AM

Got an IBM cpu from a Mac PowerPC. Quoted price for IBM cpu is $61/lb. Cpu is soldered to a finger board. Should I chisel the cpu off off the $4.80/lb board before sending? Or, is this particular motorola considered a slot processor?

**Ewasted** · 10-16-2012, 08:10 AM

Send us a photo to info@cashforcomputerscrap.com

The IBM looks similar to the Cyrix gold cap, not all IBM cpus are that price.
There are so many variations of CPUs we do our best to group them together.

Thanks

**jaydee1445** · 10-17-2012, 04:32 AM

Mario,
I saw you had posted a packaging/ shipping guide somewhere but i can't find it. Can you add a link to your 1st post, it would be helpful for all of us.

**IAscrapper** · 10-17-2012, 10:28 AM

My first dealing with mario went very smooth everything from package picked up at my door to getting paid took a week.
I will for sure be sending him more as he has earned my business thanks again mario for a great transaction!
