    Good news is I can seperate aluminum now. Extruded gets 65 cents where the old place had it all at 53 or something like that.
    Now is the time to be his BUYING source for Boards. Offer him a pricing structure, or a flat price across the board. Set yourself up as the guy that turned him on to buying e-waste.....

    If you could do that and he starts making some money from it, he is sure to kick you the best prices for your other items you sell to him!
