Biggest payouts for me...

**Mudlucky** · 07-09-2013, 03:49 PM

On June 25, I got a $296 payout from ewasted. I was THRILLED! Today, I went to a local yard and I got a payment of $402!! I'm VERY happy.

Just a quick price check:

Aluminum Heat Sinks went as clean extruded for $0.60/lb
Base of Hard drives went as aluminum cast $0.54/lb
Power Supplies without wire went for $0.25/lb
ICW#2 went for $0.60

Oh, and be careful...they tried to say my gold finger cards were "low grade" because they had capacitors on them. I politely asked the yard manager for a second opinion and wound up getting Motherboard pricing for them. I had taken off all metal on the ends where you attach it to the computer case (sorry, cant' think of what that is called).

I got high grade pricing for DVD/CDROM boards.

I did take a lot of low grade boards in and they only paid $0.08 a pound. I'll be taking them to the other yard I use from now on...at least they pay $0.10 a pound for them and they are closer.

Oh, my stuff was very clean and they were very thankful for it. At the end of the weigh in, I was given a tour so I could see exactly how they like the stuff brought in. It was very helpful!

How did you get the items to ewasted? Via USPS? What was the cost.? Also,how much did your total lot weigh?

Sorry...was out with the family.

I boxed it all up, went to his website and requested a prepaid fedex label. The actually amount I was owed was $350 something, maybe a little more, but after deducting the freight and paypal fees, the amount I made was $296 or so. It was about 100 or so pounds total in two boxes and cost about $45 or so to ship. I'm in Wisconsin. Geographic location affects fedex pricing.

Sounds like you figured out the money making equation. If I make $500 on shred, I usually get about $600 for everything else. Keep up the good work.

Don't remove those brackets and you can ship to your buyer for more than motherboard pricing.

**Mudlucky** · 07-09-2013, 10:08 PM

Say more, parrothead. At least the price lists on hear pay more when you remove the brackets. The price I got at the yard today was very comparable to the prices here with out brackets. Did I miss a buyer paying higher than motherboards with the bracket?? Very likely! I'm going to go look again...

Thanks!!
