I wonder if you could pay more than the local scrap price of your local area, but still be able to make a profit to send to e-wasted? I know 1 hour and 45 min drive, the recycler in Grants Pass Or. buy ram for about 1/2 of what you could get from E-Wasted. That way your getting stuff already broken down and you just need to ship.
kind of like just an idea.
