    My second big sale of boards and ram

    Shipped my second big load of boards a couple of weeks ago. 509 lbs of motherboards and cards, 184 lbs of hard drives, and 93 lbs of RAM.
    Got the settlement on Tuesday, $3328 - shipping for a net of $3009. I'm pretty happy. Got $4.00 on the older motherboards, $3.50 on the newer ones (P4 and up), $4.00-4.50 on the various high grade boards, and $14.50 on the RAM. Here are a few pics.

    I get these boards the same way most others do. I buy scrap computers, servers, etc from craigslist, computer shops, etc. I also buy boards locally from other scrappers, etc. Here in BC, Canada we don't have any ewaste buyers that pay a decent price. Of course many scrap yards buy boards, but pay very low prices 10-50 cents/lb. This load took me about 2 months to collect. My first load before this one took about 6 months to collect. I'm fairly new to e-scrapping, been doing this for about 8 months. Fortunately I keep getting more and more scrap. My next load will likely be bigger, as I already got about 270 lbs of boards in a few weeks. I sell my boards to a buyer in Ontario, I'm happy with their service. PM me if you want to get more info on the buyer.
