I'd love to do it but don't have the finances for all that. Only thing they get from me is low grade boards, power supplies without wires, brown board CD/floppy drives with the gold connectors...

They don't deal with any kind of ewaste and probably don't want the hassle of disposing of it since it's not something they handle. Ewaste is not a big thing down here at all. There's one yard I've...

I was thinking that as well. I know the guy from work and we don't really pick stuff up together, I'll grab stuff, he grabs stuff and we'll just haul the shred together and split it. I was...

I haven't been scrapping as much recently because my regular job picked up to the point where I'm picking up a lot of overtime. A friend at work had talked to me about picking up scrap for extra...

This is true in my case as well. I very rarely drive around houses looking for scrap, only time is if it's trash day and I'm around there already. I specifically target "low income" apartment...

I haven't been doing this for nearly as long as some people on this board and I sure don't do it full time. That being said I think you have to be careful what advice to take on here, not saying...

I do when it's obvious that it's stripped. It's a little competitive around here unfortunately so I figure $5 gives me an edge so I keep it, and I don't scrap everything. I got a good amount of...

To the people that buy computers on here and buy bulk lots from customers, how do you deal with stripped computers? I'm paying $5 per tower and as of right now I'm not losing any money but I'm...

Me personally when I started scrapping for real (not that long ago), meaning breaking down items I got instead of just tossing everything with shred. I wanted to grab everything I could to the point...

To the guys that do this is there a minimum amount of items you have to give them? I may have to look into this. I have a few things that I put on craigslist for sale when I get them to work and...

Didn't want to start a new thread but do the sockets that these sit in with the gold pins go in as gold connectors? Just tore down a few Sony DLPs and they each had these processors inside.

Welcome to the forum js1. My opinion on the plastic is not to just throw it out. Even if you can't find a place to pay you for it I'm pretty sure you'd be able to find a local place that accepts...

Nearly every pawn shop around here stopped carrying CDs long ago. There's like 1-2 stores that I can think of that still buy/sell used CDs and I'd rather bring to them first but they're extremely...

I came across 100+ CDs in March from what looked like a moving clean out and sent them all to musicmagpie.com. Lowest I got for a CD was .50 and the highest I got was 4.50. Ended up with $131.21...

First box was sent last week, got a check for $152.19. Very fast service and answered all my stupid questions with the live chat. Thanks a lot Ewasted, will have another box ready to go out on...

Sorry for the delay, as soon as I get home I'm trying to knock this stuff out. Here's the link..

Will buy broken desktops + haul off other electronics

Nothing fancy as I'm pretty new at this...

I'll post it as soon as I get off work. CL is a banned website here, luckily this forum isn't haha. If you go to CL New Orleans I should have it up in the computer section and items wanted section....

Nothing fancy at all. I just started this and as of right now pay $5 a tower and any other electronics I'll take free. I've gotten a few calls, but some I've turned down cause they were too far for...

Appreciate it toula. To let you know the Dells were gone when I passed by though it wasn't a waste of a trip. Picked up a Sony Wega DLP that should have some good boards in it and an Insignia flat...

I've done most of my scrapping from curbco but I've put an ad on craigslist about purchasing towers and hauling ewaste. I've got a few dead computers here and there but nothing big, the other day a...

I'd advise not to focus on just cans either. Not sure if in a car/bike/or on foot, but you're probably coming across other items worth a little money. If you're on foot (I'm saying this cause you...

That's a great idea. I shot an email over to the manager I dealt with. Offered him .60.

I recently found a yard around me that purchased ewaste. I called the guy and was talking to him about prices and told him I had a bunch of TV boards and when I started naming the other boards I...

I am a manager at a sporting goods store (run the hunting and fishing department). As you all can imagine it's been just a little busy on the firearm side of things.

lyndonbrad99 .. you may want to run through your metal with a magnet and get it separated properly. I get more aluminum usually out of CRTs than I do steel unless it's one of the CRTs with the big...
