    First shipment to Ewasted off this morning

    Been saving for a little bit but I'm now moving so I'm getting rid of my stash of good stuff. Only had about 11 lbs of stuff but I can't save it so off it went. Hopefully it will pay for the shipping. Had 1/2 lb ram, 1/4 processors and rest were green boards, mobos and HD boards

    congrats! They are great (having done several shipments myself with them). Remember, get as close to the 75 lb limit per box as you can (ie save your stuff if it comes somewhat regularly)....the shipping cost per pound is less. DO NOT go over 75 pounds as it will DRAMATICALLY skyrocket the price since it would be considered a high weight item.

    Good luck and the paycheck!

    ^^I found that I get better rates if I stay below 60 lbs.

    OP, congrats!!

    just tell them you have 2 boxes and split it...they can get you a shipment label for both boxes....I do it all the time. Depending on what all you have in there, that should be an ok 1st check!

    So shipped off on Monday and they received on Thursday (priority flat rate large box $17 and some change) and they processed and paid me via Paypal by Friday afternoon. Total was $37 and some change. Probably would have been better if I shipped way more and used a slower shipping method but I'm moving this weekend and I don't want to take the material with me. All and all I'm ok with it. It did take a few months to collect it all. Still have some I wasn't able to fit it all. Forgot the cell phones, some mobos. The processors didn't pay very well but I'm not sure if they were good they came from modern computers I think P4's and up. I would do it again though just wish I could come across more material.
