    computer's

    So i seem to be getting allot of computers
    a yard near me pays .65 for mother boards along with the other stuff - mem - cards
    do any of you guys get more selling the actual stuff on eBay . I am good with computers, so i don't know if I have time to test all the things i have any way. have about 22 computers and a box of Mem and cards Considering a new computer is so little buy, how much do people pay for the old computers and attachment components.

    Yeah they are gettin you..Of course the yard near me offered me .02-.05 for boards lmao! I am building a little collection, I plan on shipping to easy when I feel like I have enough..


    Can I make a suggestions, I keep hearin " no one is going to spoon feed you" do your own research ect...

    If that's the case I think we should stop throwin board sort .com out every time an e waste topic comes up. Sure they may be a great site (idk), but how much do they contributed to this site? We have easy, and a few others as well who would love to buy your e waste, and they contributed tons of knowledge and information to this board ever day! Why send business to another company when we have one right here, freely giving us the information we need, and paying good prices?? Sorry I just don't get it!

    Now...that was well said. I don't really need to add anything else to that.

    Because if I have 100 lbs of boards and I can get $300 or $400, to me, this is a no brainer. To some, loyalty is more important then $$$, but luckily for me I know everything, so I'm not bound by loyalty. Not only that, I knew boardsort way before Easy... IF I were bound by the loyalty thing.

    I am considering other venders also... some on here and some other places. I am getting $6.50/lb for pinless processors from boardsort, but we were offered $15 / lb for certain socket 775 chips... I will be sorting all my chips and sending them off to the other buyer when I get enough. That's just how it works for me. "It's a profit deal"...

    Boardsort contributes on other forums. He said he was to commercial for this site and wasn't welcome. I guess that changed because there sure seems to be a lot of commercial organizations here.

    The other forum (gold refining forum) I am a member to had lots of posts by boardsort. He's just not here.


    Easy is well established here, so I'm sure there are people who don't see it the way I do, so...."He hates these cans. Stay away from the cans."

    I will buy your 775 sockets for the same price as a 478 socket The going price is $9.00 a pound.

    On larger amount of scrap we now offer free shipping and two we can work on pricing. So it never hurts to send an e-mail to our office to see what we can do for you.

    Thanks Easy. Once we close on the new place and actually get this dang move done I will ramp up this part of my business more... maybe we can do some transactions latter.

    I'm in business for profit and the IRS loves me because I'm always looking for more ways to make money. I always OWE them.

    Nothing I ever say is against you or your company.... and I really hope you understand that. You have always handled yourself very professionally here and it's easy to see you are a reputable company. That's important when a person is doing business across hundreds of miles.

    We are new to helping smaller collectors/processors out and willing to tweak our business model if necessary. Give us a shot, I promise you wont be disappointed.
    I promise they wont be sorry either. I will be coming out with new pricing that will or I would think..make things hard for you. but anyway lets not get into a tit for tat kind of thing..its very childish.

    People know both of our prices...we made it very clear...and let them pick who they would like to work with..simple.

    Unless you think they need someone holding there hand =D

    Yes, an no offense taken. Have you seen the new ford mascot for the Ford Focus? Sometimes acting funny can help people remember you over someone else.

    In that post I was making a simple funny joke. I have had people on here say how good my site looks so I was making a remark for anyone who had said that about my website..they would remember that. The second part is more or less for the older people who know that I am 22years old....they see me as a "kid" and so I was acting like a "funny kid" when I said I was here first and the kick out part.

    In short..I leave small notes here an there that make people think of me in one way or another either it be from my website, or how they see me or even how I run my company. I try to make sure that every one person will find something about me and or my company that they can relate to. When a customer can relate to a sales man or just plain old likes the person they are working with...they will deal with that person sooner/faster than they would with someone who is all business and wont take time to relate.

    What I would like to make sure that does not happen is that me and him get into a down and dirty...that wont be good for either of us.

    Anyway..I will end on that note =)

    @ ewasted, I understand your in the same business, and that's what I said the were also others on the board as well, easy just sticks out to me when I read e waste post, simply because of all the information he contributes on the topic. As an ewaste buyer you should have an issue with promotion of another buyer who doesn't contribute to the board.

    @ wdaddy.. I get it , you have got to look out for you first, or who else will. Im not condemning you for using another buyer if it means you making more money. My issue is when new people ask about selling boards or ewaste it seems that bs.com is the first name thrown around to often when we have contributing members here who would buy them.

    As far as being to commercial and not welcome here, I don't know that was before my time here...

    Bobby,
    I understand what you are saying. I am happy to contribute to the board, there's only so much information to release... there is no "big" secret out there. As Ive said time and time again to many on this board through PMs, I am happy to help!

    How did you create those videos. I know how people create ones that they themselves are in, but how do you do the ones where it shows your PC?
