2000 Ford F-150 Crew Cab Long Bed. Safety Yellow, so you can see me from a mile off... LOL

I have 8 ferrous and non-ferrous yards within 16 miles of me. The seven smaller yards all ship their material to a much larger yard that is only 3 miles from me. Can you guess who I sell my already...

I heard a saying in a movie last night that I believe in. " Never use money to measure wealth "

Wouldn't it be great if that were true in business.

I am not a full time scrapper and admittedly...

Welcome to the forum Oedipus. One thing that will help you a lot here... read, read, read posts. Even really old posts. There is sooooo much information here. There is so much information already...

I scrap a lot of CRT monitors and TVs. I have never seen a CRT type board with gold on it, other than in switch components. I can tell you, the TV that your board came from was much older than what...

I think I would ask for a Plasma Cutter. Much less hassle to operate than a torch set-up, unless the electricity needed would be a problem.

I could REALLY use a plasma cutter myself. However, on...

Mapping your way is a MUST! I live and do pick ups in some poorer sections of town. I do not pay for pick ups unless it is a HUGE amount of towers, so not having cash does not apply to me. However, a...

Throwing anything over 1\4" thick in the trunk of a car or in the bed of a truck that you are scrapping, is a REAL good way to get fined by the local yard. The yard I use does shred passenger...

i have read quite a few write ups on the tear down of an HDD. However, I never see anyone talking about the small gold plated bit inside the actual read eye in all HDD's. I have found this same small...

nice load. I would have a blast processing all of that.

i keep pinched fingers from dealing with the small HDD magnets, cant imagine having something that big, lol I would probably end up in the ER .. ha ha ha

I wont go through the hassle of posting a video, but to me, good scrapping music is the metal kind, like metallica, lamb of god, dethklok and so on ...

in most push type mowers there is less than 10lbs of cast aluminum and less than a pound of aluminum (not cast or extrusion). if it were me, i would have just removed the fluids and scrapped whole....

Going the extra mile always pays off.

just a little update. my boss is dragging his feet on making a decision. i have given up on this entire project. If he approaches me and tells me to take it away for scrap, then so be it, if not, I...

Ok, I have now started drooling.... and at 1500 pounds !!!!! I do believe I would take a very comfy vacation from that kind of score AND have enough money to cover my bills for the month.

Welcome to the forum.

copiers vs towers...

if you mean just the motherboard and no other boards, chips or ram, I would still go with a tower board as they get the same pricing and maybe a little more than printer mb's...

ok well, for my very, small time operation, just the thought of unlimited towers to break down , gives me goose bumps. Lol.

As for the hypothetical (sp) question.

Ok for starters i break the...

I guess it really depends on how much time you want to spend on it and how much of it that you can actually turn a profit on.

I am a very small time operation. And I do not have much in the way of...

I have scrapped a few laptops and I don't think I remember those kind of boards. I wonder if I wasn't tearing them down as far as I thought I was. Gotta look into this. Although the board is small,...

that is actually a really good deal. $7 per lb without the plastic back cover and the battery. Cause you can still sell the batteries to certain buyers and the plastic can be added to your mixed...

I currently know of one E-Waste buyer in NC that advertises as being R2 Rios Compliant. Which means they follow the guide lines of the certification, but they are not actually certified. I also...

Awesome job on winning the auction!! The purchse price is also a fairly excellent price (if the towers are complete), even with the drive time and distance I could very well make decent money on that...

awesome job on getting that scale george , (which ever one you choose). A scale is one of the most important tools in our industry and I still dont have one .... So, you get two thumbs up from me.
