Whats the address of your location? How does one do business with you? Is there any order to small or to big? At $16 a pound I might have someone that would drive a 1100 pound order to you from PA.

[ROKrecycling]

I am sorry. My address is ROK Brothers Recycling, 8217 Cloverleaf Drive, Millersville, MD 21108.

We will accept basically any sized load, but please call prior to dropping things off in person to insure that we are here. There are only two of us that buy the scrap and now and then, neither of us is here if we are not expecting anyone.

Feel free to PM if you have any questions, etc. I do not have enough posts yet to be allowed to put a link I guess.

Out of curiosity, Do you offer checks as payment as well as paypal?

[mascraps]

Interesting.. Your prices seem very competitive.. Willing to hear any feed back from members working with these guys.

[ROKrecycling]

We do paypal on virtually all of our transactions. We do it every day and it is instant with no worries of lost checked, etc. We usually only do a check run once a week or so. If you want a check, PM me prior to sending in a load and I will make sure we are planning to cut checks when you send it in so there is no delay in payment. Thanks.

[ROKrecycling]

We have been asked via PM if we will prepay. We realize that sending product to someone you are not familiar with is scary. We feel the same way when we send things. If you have items that you are selling us, we are willing to prepay via paypal. Send an email to randy@rokrecycling.com or PM me. Tell me exactly what you have READY TO SHIP and the weight. I will then send you a formal purchase order. You send me back an invoice and i will send the prepayment.

Do you buy good lcd screens? I've got some lappys with bad screens and some good screens would you accept both for the good screen price?

[ROKrecycling]

Jaydee...You seem to be asking two questions, so I will answer what I believe you are asking.
First...I do not buy stand alone LCD monitors. Sorry.
In terms of laptops:
For P3 and P4, as long as the screen is not visibly cracked or showing as broken (when you see the wave patterns in it, it is broken), we pay the good screen price. Since the unit does not have to power on, there is no screen test other than showing as broken.
For the Core 2, please note that I gave the MINIMUM price. Some are far higher. For example, I just purchased a non-working HP DV9000. It had an unbroken screen, an 80 gb hard drive, battery and charger. It was in good physical condition but it did not power up, though the blue light came on. I paid $70 delivered for that one. Meanwhile a Fujitsu B series with deep scratches, no HD or memory was worth $30.

i know you say you buy laptop li ion batteries, but do you also buy li-ion cellphone batteries/ button batteries from mother boards? also would would be the prices? thanks

[ROKrecycling]

We will buy the li-ion cell phone batteries. We pay $1.25 per pound. We do not buy the other li-ion batteries. If you send in the li-ion laptop and the li-ion cell batteries, please make sure that you sort them.

[SCRAPCOWBOY]

[PartTimeScrapper]

I talked with Randy today on the phone. He was a very nice guy and seemed to really know his stuff. I look forward to doing some business with him with my whole laptops. Will report back when deal is done.

I have about 150lbs of ram. Looking to sell. How do you handle shipping? How about payment? Thank you

[ROKrecycling]

Our prices are delivered to our Millersville location: ROK Brothers, 8217 Cloverleaf Drive, Millersville, MD 21108.
Our preference is to have you ship the items in, verify the weight and product and then send payment. If you would like, we can do a prepayment via paypal. We understand that it can be scary to send product to someone you do not know. If you want to be prepaid, send the exact quantity of what you are shipping. I will send a purchase order, you reply with an invoice. That way there is a clear paper trail and we both agree on what is being sent and the terms. I will then send payment via paypal. You then ship the product. For Gold Ram (no silver/tin and no rambus), we are currently paying $16 a pound.

[ResourcefulRecycling]

Do you have a phone number I can contact you at? I would like to send my load out on Monday

[ROKrecycling]

The office number is 410-969-1877. I will be in after 7. My cell is 4430527-4100. Email is randy@rokrecycling.com

Looking forward to doing business with you.
Randy

ROK, your site says you purchase boards and other escrap. Could you supply a price list for the other items you purchase? I'm sure other members of the board would love to review and compare. Also, I am in Maryland and it would be nice to have a local contact. Thanks.

Hi, Just wanted to say that my dealing with Randy was very impressive. He replied to all of my questions promptly and payed more than my actual quote before shipping. He made payment the same day as delivery through paypal. I will definatly be using them again.
