$20 a pound seems low for trimmed fingers. Don't whole memory sticks go for between $6 to $8 a pound?
Since it's almost winter ( down time ) I think I will strip the boards of the cu, al and...
I know there is a lot of talk that usually it is better to sell boards and memory sticks with the fingers attached, but I have a few power supplies with large gold ( pretty sure they are gold )...
So you have all those contacts with premium metals, have you sold any of it. You know, realized a profit? Profit V time and effort?
For me scrap metal is a bi-product. I'm a curb side shopper. I go out looking for anything I can repair, refurbish, or sell as is. If I come across good scrap metal I do take it. But I usually drive...
I'll defiantly do some more research before I part then out. Not sure if any of them work and have no way of testing them.
No smart phone. Flip phone.
These are 4 of the components from a server rack I think. It came from a credit union. The rack was on wheels and i couldn't get that thing to budge until I pulled every single component. Even empty...
Do not disturb the pink and purple stuff on the ends. It's fine until you hit it with a hammer and create dust. It busts up like ceramic.
BTW I only scrap out half of the microwaves I get. The...
You say " slightly creepy " I say thinking out of the box .
Nice job.
I still have the motherboard it came out of. but it is mixed in with all the other boards I have. Boxes of them. Not sure I could figure out which one it came out of. No idea if either were in...
Cool Thanks. Did a little more digging with that info and it looks like it pays a little better than a pro, but I'm not gona be quitin my day job.
Is this something I should be selling on ebay or...

OK. So I stated saving the bulbs. Told my dad about it and he says " can u believe how many different bulb base configurations there are" What? And they also have different ratings. Huh? So I scraped...
.10 to .15 a lb would be better than giving it away. I think it's only a matter of time until we see more buyers. Nice to know we have plastics recycler so close.
Cool. I guess I'll have to add those to the list of things I resell instead of scraping. It is already amazing how many things I sell on CL instead of scraping out.
Well I guess you were right:...
Was wondering how many people are now selling plastic like they do scrap metal.
What kind of prices you're getting? Right now I put a ton of it to the road each week for our recycle program.
May...
Are you talking about the cheap little push in bulbs or the nice vintage screw in's?
I cut off the sockets get 1.00 a lb for #2 and throw the sockets w/ bulbs in a shred bucket for .10 a lb. There is still some metal in those sockets and bulbs.
ding ding ding we have a winner. I am able to sell about 8 out of 10 vacs I get. I disassemble them, pressure wash the pick up tubes and all the plastic ( with a pressure washer I got out of the...

So far I have just been saving my e-scrap. Detroit is the closest place to take it and for the amount I have it's not worth it when you figure time and fuel. Need to find someone here in...
Yeah it's not a pretty picture. The lack of jobs is taking it's toll. Since GM pulled out and moved factorys to Mexico and other places things just haven't been the same. I fear they will never be...
I can't believe it. Not only have we ( here in Flint Mi ) have not seen an increase in copper, now steel has taken 2 decreases. Went from 220 a ton to 210 last week and now today, unexpectedly, down...
I'm bummin. Still no change at the yard. Still 2.75 for #! and 2.55 for #2
