Most shops that I have spoken to already have a buyer they sell to. The key is to know what the prices in your area are. If they are selling to a yard most likely they are gettig alot less than what our buyers pay us. If thats the case then you should be able to offer them 20% more than what they currentley are getting and still make a nice profit when selling to a buyer here. I am starting to get a few scrappers in my area that were getting $1# for boards. Now they get $1.50 from me

Well I already know that they all pay way to LOW around here. The biggest "buyer" here pays so low it is ridiculous. I took some stuff to them once and I got $93 for everything, when if I sent it all into ewasted for instance, I would have gotten over $100 just on motherboards.
There is another buyer right down the street that only pays $1 per board...not even per lb, but per board!

Well than what are you waiting for? Use your investment know how from running your investment company. Take every dollar you have and pay $2 a pound for motherboards. Send tham all to one of us buyers and make 50 to 75% on your investment. Sounds like a no brainer to me.

I am slowly taking away from the scrap yards, but have to watch my step. Don't want any of them catching on, as most I do business with myself, and cannot afford to burn any bridges.
Within the next 3 to 5 months, I plan to be doing a lot of ewaste business.

Instead of worrying about keeping it quiet from the yards offer to buy their ewaste............If they are paying so low then you should easily be able to pay enough for them to turn a profit

The yards around me pay that low and sell to a buyer that has been mentioned on this site that pays pretty much normal prices. That's for telecom, ram CPU, MB, HD boards and any lower grade boards in the .10-.40# range.
I offer anyone that will listen to me more but most never call.

Wow. That's a pile of classified info right there if I've ever spotted any. Thanks. You mention, more but how Much more, may be the issue? I'd go minimum of doubling that price whatever (LOW) it is. Otherwise they just figure (stupidly) that it's not worth their time, changing everything over etc blah blah. Man,I wish,hope,pray and plead for Santa to put a nice ol' beater half ton under my little Carlie Brown Christmas tree tonight. lol

Up here two of the scrap yards I've been to pay nothing but shred price for anything electronic, including many, many towers & desktops. This far north I guess, the value of computers has been kept purposely way low at the yards. It doesn't help that I live in a guber-ment town, with mostly that type of mentality run'n stuff around here, I suppose.On a few occasions, I've watched half ton trucks, panel trucks, trailers and car trunks, loaded with bicycles,computers,beautiful metal golf clubs,exercise machines and so much cool stuff, being tossed onto the big magnet crane pile. Near made me cry to witness it for myself.
So, like Mikeinreco mentioned, if I had a car or truck, you can believe that I would be in there like a dirty shirt ready to offer them four or five times what they pay for all that treasure in disguise.
