    I buy sorted material from a gentleman who breaks down e-waste.



    In Northern California there are not many people who recycle e-waste, and those that do either pay out really slow, are too far away, or downright rip you off. So what he does is breaks off the material I purchase from him, the gold fingers, CPUs, high value chips and components, etc. He sells that material to me and makes a good profit off that, then he waits until he accumulates enough e-waste to make it cost effective to truck it to the nearest place to process.

    It works for him, might work for you as well.

    At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan
