An MMLC that 2 years ago was about 1/4" x 1/8" is now nearly microscopic, the price is still the same or, but the weight is less then 1/10, new processors avg $8 per lb old ones $110, boards are 1/2 weight or less, shipping is up. You may well have missed the bus. E scrapping is not something you wake up in the morning and decide to do,

It takes knowledge to be a scrapper to just make a few $ or break even if your lucky. E scrapping is not for the novice with out a lot of study here. Most scrap is free. E scrap is usually not so unless you are prepared to lose yer A**, do your home work and pray a lot. Just my .02

I think E-scrap alone for the small timer is not going to cut it.........Evolve, Adapt, Overcome
