Just set up my account, getting my first shipment ready. I am finding alot of very small boards in electronincs such as dvd players and such, is it worth sending these in? Also, the clock/display units on these, should these be sent?

The green board is usually mid grade and the rest is low grade. If it cost you 40c a lb to ship then not worth it. Unless you plannign a trip in person someday, then save them.

Something to consider. DVD players, VCR's and the like usually aren't worth the time to tear apart. We just cut off the cord and throw them in the "appliance grade scrap" bin. 9 cents a pound with no time invested plus wire is easy money compared with the work required to dismantle this type of stuff. Let somebodies big shredder do the work and spend your time looking for the high dollar stuff.

E-Wasted's guys are going to get my boxes after I ship them tomorrow and go ''what the what?''

lol, so, I was excited to finally send my first shipment, boxed everything up and then got the email with packing slips. whoopsie! open the boxes back up and put slips in.

got the email with the prepaid labels and slapped them on the boxes. whoops again - each label had the poundage on them for each box. lmao. cut the labels off trying not to tear them with so much tape over them and tore one anyways.

plugged my printer back in and just reprinted and taped over the old ones. I actually got one out of three correct the first time.

I think I added about 5 lbs of tape during this whole process.

They re going to need industrial knives to get through all the tape.

I do have to say though that the prepaid pricing I got from him came in waaaaaaay lower than what it would have cost me to ship from Fed Ex on my own *thumbs up*
