    Well I have been going through my laptops and I figured it out this way. My last shipping price to ewasted was a 60 pound box for $24.25. it cost me .40 a pound to ship to him. His prices on laptops are $1.10/lb so I figure I will make $.70/lb. Thats .10 cents more than you are wanting to sell them for mike and all you have to do is drop a box off at FedEx. You are closer to him than I am in Alabama so if anything your prices will be the same or less. And I think I'm going to shoot for the next box to him in the 75 pound range and see what the shipping per pound breaks down to them.

    My last was about 90 pounds and still at 60 cents a pound. That is from Florida.

    If I had the space I would go for the per pound laptop thing. I just shipped 2 gaylords (from somewhere else as a side job)up there and it came out to about 27 cents per pound. Of course the gaylords were about 80 pounds each, but still much better considering there was over 900 pounds of material. Probably came out to about 35 cents a pound for the material. bit there is still the cost of the gaylords as well. I did not pay for them so not sure what they cost.

    Last time I talked to Ewasted he said he was developing truck shipping lanes to the south and possibly getting it down to $.10 lb. Might be a good thing for us Fl boys to get together and fill a few gaylords. I want to do as much as I can with Mario he is the best I've dealt with so far. Used gaylords are going for about $10 in south Orlando.
