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...
