    I know that RAM did. I think motherboards did too, but I'm not positive there.

    I'm happy on the RAM, though!

    I've been on both ends of the equation- I'm a buyer, and a seller. The ziplock bags never seem to get the stuff to me neatly, unless they're tightly packed, so there can't be movement. My last box...

    Our FedEx branch was open Thursday, but closed Friday. I think your label just didn't get finished before the weekend. Ewasted's shipping has worked very well for me in the past.

    Is anything going on there? I've never received my prepaid label for this lot, and my pallets been sitting a while there. Is Ohio getting hammered with bad weather again?

    Are these for working LCDs, or can I send in dead ones?

    Do you take the ones that came from the factory with detachable cords, or do I need to throw in some non-attached VGA and power cords?
