    Good luck with that (really!), I do hope you find one. With all the computers over there, there's got to be a pile of ewaste going somewhere.
    If not, it would certainly be a good time for somebody to start thinking about becoming one.
    Ever priced one of those shipping containers? I once knew a lady who was from there, but living in Netherlands, she'd been "home" on a visit, and closing out a house she owned. She had some stuff shipped back in one of those(ever heard of "less than trailer load"?), but she only had a certain portion of the container. She wasn't poor, but I don't think it was totally astronomical, just never asked really. You might consider checking into one of those if you have to ship it. Might even consider a full container anyway, if that's the case

    Thanks Bear,only been scrapping for 6 month.No local buyers for e-scrap but I just keep collecting it as I know it will pay off even if I do collect a container full and ship it.I am sure it will take off over her sooner or latter and when it does!!!PAY DAY IN A BIG WAY.I will just keep getting as much as I can before everyone catches on.

    You should get set up to be that buyer. You can start of real lo buying if there isnt any buyers. Like bear said figure out what you need to do to ship it a buyer here in the us or a refiner in europe. I bet its about $3 or $4000 USD for a container. Plus certs and fees. Might be worth checking out.
