There is a big market out there of buyers & sellers of e-scrap. Things you should consider when choosing;

Payment Terms: How do they pay, whats the schedule (i.e. time until you get paid),...

The bubble has certainly popped. Goldman Sachs is lowering Copper Predictions by 44% through 2018 (don't ask me what their predictions were I have yet to read in that deeply yet) and similar...

Most certainly will be! I also look forward the E-Scrap Academy Track, more specifically I am interested to hear what the iFixit guys have to offer. I am going to try to make it their presentations...

Ditto, here though I was alone. I just also thought the speakers from the research end studying the volume, value and following the trails of e-scrap was fascinating. As an industry its important to...

It's stupidly expensive but I've found its a huge resource for any person, anywhere in the chain of E-Scrap. It gives tremendous insight from industry pros and can be an awesome place to network.

I spoke recently with Steve here over the phone. He's a great guy, someone you can trust to give you fair pricing or repairs and very ambitious. Sell with confidence!

To add insight as an east coast buyer I would echo everything AGW, Matador and PTS are seeing as well. DDR2 is depreciating much faster in relation to DDR1 and the viewpoint of the average customer...

Under no circumstances accept money from them if they don't leave on time as planned. If they give you $1.00 it it technically some part of rent and restarts the entire non-payment period over. This...

I sold working x486 machines just a couple months ago. Threw them up on eBay with free shipping included and made the price large enough to cover shipping in the US and room for profit. Do some...

Current photos of what you are already doing to work towards opening the shop would be nice, make it an organic human story. Start with why you are doing this, where you started, where you are now...

Your posts are becoming a bit manic. What I can tease out from your post is that we can recycle everything here, saved resources can go into production in the US because of the savings? Problem with...

Never heard of an EPROM eraser since all you have to do is remove the sticker over the window. Exposure to UV light erases all programming on the EPROM. However if the unit you have is capable of...

After attending a speaking event at the E-Scrap Conference in October, I learned that there is a net negative value for shredding or manually breaking down LCDs, the Indium is so fine most of it is...

I would do a little research before you assume something is perfectly legal. I would also research what you just throwing into the fire and just assuming its safe. A quick internet search shows that...

You are missing my point. It's not that lead ore isn't dangerous. It clearly is. But people do not drink from water sources near contaminated by known lead ore deposits. When you manufacture a CRT...

They do that in California, there is a tax on new TV purchases to subsidize the cost of recycling CRTs. This essentially works like the deposit on beverages in that you can get paid by a recycling...

I googled it after first reading this thread. One of the first articles is about the myths behind CRT "solutions" and says that very little if any of the glass can be used in construction aggregates...

It's the same concept as Carbon based fuels. You are taking relatively inert lead ore, processing it into bio active lead and putting it areas where it can leach into into our drinking water. I'd...

Similar lines of thought has been said about the CO2 produced by fossil fuel combustion. Lead when first found in deposits is trapped as ore but now we've removed it from its original resting place....

Only a very small portion of the CRT glass can be used in construction aggregates, there is no portion of the CRT glass that is lead free so its not really the solution. Another company is working on...

You would need a degausser with a high enough oersteds (Oe) rating in relation to the drive you are trying to degauss. The higher the capacity the drive and the newer it is, the higher the rating...

It will render a drive inoperable but really sophisticated labs could in theory recover data. Its better to think of Data Destruction in terms of risk vs. intensity of data destruction procedures.

Video is outdated now; the industry grades and values a lot of those boards differently now but I suppose it's a decent starting point.

It all depends on your yard but if you had to grade them they would be dirty SS. They are technically property of Pepsi or whoever it the soda syrup distributor as they are supposed to be swapped for...

Not a big boxing fan so I can't speak confidently in any debate. However I would like to see the PacMan win because I like rooting for the perceived under-dog. My gut tells me however that Mayweather...
