    Got some new Partners today!

    Hey guys !
    Wanted to share my last story with you.
    In my country, there aren't any E-Scrap buyers or collectors, only one big company, owned from the state who collects computers from schools and big companies.
    (We also have only one scrap yard here)
    So I tought of going to or sending an Email to every Computer store and repairing businesses, and leave my card, that I collect everything from them for free.
    Promptly I got a lot of answers an I collected nearly 100 Towers for free in a few days, and there are more stores to go !
    I got a lot of positive answers, because they need to send an employee to the recycling center and that costs time and money, and I am picking it up at their door!

    I will post some pics later

    Are you going to get paid by the recycling center or are you selling to someone else? Do you have a version of ebay in your country? Thank you for sharing and photos are always nice. Mike.

    I need to go over the borders(15minutes), I have a buyer in Germany, I think thats the country with the best prices for E-Scrap. Yes, the main Company of Ebay is registered in Luxembourg since 2007 But I only sell the 1GB + Ram's and 150GB + HDD's on Ebay, didn't tried to sell the mainboards etc. yet

    Some of the other boards could be sold for refining purposes. Put a bunch together and list them for reclaiming only.

    Thank you for your tip, I am getting 5$ per lb for grafikcards or soundcards at the moment, I don't know if I will get a better price on ebay because of the 10% fees
