SW Ohio... maxamizing return on e-scrap through sharing expenses

I have spent many hours researching where to take all of my boards etc and get the best return. Over the last month I have come to the conclusion that there are two forum members that 1) have had good reviews by other members 2) have fair pricing 3)beat the HECK out of what local to Cincy/Tri-state area buyers want to pay. (at least that I have found to date)



The obvious downside is having to pay for shipping and/or drive it there personally. So, what I am hoping to do is find one or more people that would like to share the travel expenses, so that a number of us can get a better return, and support other members on the forum.

I am open to suggestions as how to accomplish this but will offer a few to begin.

I am more than willing to do the driving. I could meet with people nearby, I have a pickup and 6x12 open trailer that could be loaded and tarped, we split the travel cost and the buyer can, and should, make payments to you however you work that out. All inventory can be sealed and clearly marked, as to who owns what, so it can be properly sorted and paid for.

If there are people between here, Cincy, and the buyer, I can stop and PU, and again share the expenses, with payment for your load made to you, how ever you work it out.

One other option that comes to mind is to do it as a "relay". (I have kids in track so is how my mind works) Someone brings to me, I take it up the road to say Lima (hint hint) they take it to someone else or to the buyer. You get the idea. Anything we can do to share the time, cost, wear and tear on our vehicles, etc I see as a plus and the chance to again, build new relationships and support forum members.

Alone, many of us may not be able to take advantage of getting the most out of what we do. Together, we can keep costs down, maximize our return, and support forum members.

As a side note, if you would like to spend a day traveling with an ole, fat, gray guy with seven kids and a lot to complain about, you are more than welcome to share the driving.

If you have any interest at all, feel free to send me a PM with any questions/comments, and I will give you my number so we can discuss it.

Be Safe and God Bless, BroJer
