    Speaking of shipping I just go and buy a large box from Walmart, don't remember if its 12x12x24 or 18x18x24 but I got the cheapest quote from E-Wasted ever. It was 69 Lbs. and it cost me $48.06 that's .69 per pound. 33 pounds of that was mother boards. I had a lot of room to spare too.

    Pallets normally are about 25c/lb. Its really worth it to save up and get a pallet shipment of 500lbs. Local produce manager at grocery stores normally give up watermelon boxes/bins free. Your profit margins will double in your shipping costs!
