    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    I take a pickup load of cases in whenever it's full. If prices are low, they go to my yard in town. If they are higher, I'll go out of state to a much larger yard.

    My loads are small enough that they won't fluctuate more than $10 between good prices and bad prices.

    As for the valuables, definitely. I'm hanging on to all of the "good stuff." I have the space, and the way that I see it, prices won't go down any more. What do I have to lose?



    It's a gamble, of course.

    These times seem to be one of those moments when the old saying comes true.
    NEVER put all your eggs in one basket.
    Put your normal scrapping methods on the back burner and fall back on other thinks you know and can do.
