    Am I wrong?

    Ok guys im no computer expert and if im wrong please correct me.
    Memory ram or memory sticks whatever you call them go from $10.00 to $15.00 per pound.

    My yard is only paying $0.25 per pound something doesnt make sense.
    at that price I might as well buy them from them and sell online.

    If you can buy from them i would buy every stick they got separate the 512mb and above and send it to PTS anything lower send to easy or ewasted.
    Born to think, destine to succeed.

    Thanks dune I did send a email back asking if they had some I can buy and what rate.
    Maybe im the only guy bringing in computer scraps as the prices for computer stuff pretty much suck.

    I got offered $2.90 online for my apple motherboards to them they are B boards only worth $.30 a pound.
    either they know or dont know computer values.

    Havent took them in yet they the old ones like from late 80s or early 90s
    I try to research as much as possible before I take stuff in so I dont get robbed.
    Did hear back they didnt have any memory on hand maybe thats why the low price because not many take computer stuff in is my guess.
