    Need some help.

    I am new to this forum and I have only been collecting escrap for a few months. I sent one small lot about a month ago to a refiner about a month ago, as a test run, and got burned pretty bad. I was ready to stop there until I found this forum and did some research. I've been trying to wait until i got a decent size load this time before I sent out another one, but due to some "unforeseen" circumstances, I need to send out what I have now. I Have around 60 pounds saved up now (26 pounds of power supplys and about 38 pounds of mixed boards). I need to unload them quick and not get burned again. If anyone could help me out with some suggestions, or offers, It would help me out a lot. I do not have an accurate scale so my wieghts are probably off a little and I'll try to include some pics to give you an Idea of what I have.

    I would send it e-wasted he has a ton of good reviews on this site and seems to treat everyone fairly. I am putting together a package to send him this weekend. You can get his info from the Scrap BUyers and Sellers Section.

    Read the sticky threads, newbee section and then dive into the electronic section. This will pay you big later.

    Some of what you have saved might not be worth sending in at this time. Much of what you have is certainly worth it.

    I have been selling to ewasted since last year and am happy with his service. No matter how good and honest your buyer is if you send him low grade items it will not make you money depending on shiping costs. Take a little extra time now and you will maximise your profit. Mike.

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked

    You might check out the buyers out East, alot less shipping, the power supplies are not worth shipping. Only if you can deliver it all.

    I'm about 40 miles north of Philly and CLR is where I'll be heading before too long.

    I read about a place in Northeast Philly which isn't a bad drive for you, but I can't find anything on their prices or anyone who has dealt with them. Not sure if they would even take that small of a load.

    I just finished packing my box and I am going to give ewasted a shot. He has been highly recommended by so many people and I believe he is my best chance right now.
