    After saving my electronic scrap for almost a year now I have been able to reconfigure my initial red sorting tubs; I am yet to get any "Telecom/Communication/Cisco/Networking" I do not get much business related hardware I only have maybe two boards that fall in that category, I also am yet to get any server/dual-socket motherboards. My lowest tub has been getting filled with a mix of power supply boards and "Finger Board Trimmed/Devalued AND Cable TV / Satellite TV / Printer / Modem and Floppy boards" so I am dedicating a tub to power supply boards and removing the server mobo tub.

    -Telecom/Communication/Cisco/Networking (finer sort at a later point)
    -Complete Finger Boards
    -All Motherboards (small/large socket & server)
    -Cable & Satellite/Printer/Modem/Floppy Boards
    -Power Supply Board

    Rolling back to the mystery cart here it is, this is where I store computer components and valuable board components. Majority are large optical drives then a few rows of floppy drives followed by a few rows of desktop and laptop hard drives. On the bottom those are containers from pool chemicals great for storing the components on those sheets I was referring to on my cart doors:







    This will make it much clearer for you I compiled these from my research if anyone wants an email copy in larger resolution for printing just PM me these are 1024x768 but I have them in 2048x1536

    Alright here goes my first electronics sale ever, I have chosen eWasted here is a 20Wx22Lx14T box with 9lb of large socket mobos and 28lb of small socket mobos:



    These are the assorted processors I have going with this shipment will take some practice to class all the cpus they claim there will be no sorting fee:



    Total processor weight will be 1.1oz



    Measly 10.5oz of gold tip memory:



    A nice 4lb-10oz of optical drive boards in there too:



    All packed I am at about 58lb boxed (I was aiming for 65lb) I bagged the optical boards, and the 10lb of mid-high so it is easy to separate for them and based on my calculations the box should yield around $150:

    In left top corner of the box in the first pic, you should take off that aluminum still on the board before you send it. It's the one that looks like a long "Y". Also on the same board the black plastic right next to it in the area that the cpu went... Take that off as well. But good job on your load������
    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

    I did not know about the CPU plastic and I must have overlooked the Y shaped aluminum oops!

    I got $97.78 back from Ewasted after shipping ($26.58) so my calculations must have been off...was $98.78 they must have charged me $1 for something? After PayPal fees I ended up with $94.64 to actually walk with.

    Thanks for sharing your experience and your receipt. I have a little e-scrap and wish I had someone close to drive it to. The cost of shipping takes a bite out of your profit for sure. thanks David
