HDD, Boarded Processors & Daughter Boards

Where I am located the yard doesn't have buyers or prices even for things like daughter boards, HDD boards or boarded processors. With the daughter boards they only want to pay .08/lb. I clip the fingers off of the boards before they go to the yard currently but I am looking into other options. They won't even buy the HDD boards from me. "No buyer" Is what they tell me. Pretty stupid if you ask me. I have almost 20 lbs of them and no where locally to sell them. I have my reservations about sending them to cash for gold and places like that, they've screwed me before. I sent off a small pile of scrap previously to a company, got hassled by customs for not valuing my "garbage" as they put it when it hit the border, and never saw a penny from the company. They told me that they had a minimum you could ship, even though to get the free shipping labels I had to enter weights and types in their forms. After 2 weeks of waiting and hearing nothing from them I started pestering and basically got told that what I had shipped to them didn't contain enough precious metals to even cover the cost of shipping and processing and very politely that I could go **** myself. Anyone else had a problem like this and what was your solution?

Look at the buyers section here and you will find several who will pay for the materials you have. Selling your material anywhere else is at your own risk.

Thanks for the advice, still finding my way around the site. I haven't checked out every forum yet.

Sorry. I should've just looked at his profile. I saw Burlington under location and was hoping it was Burlington,WI and didn't dig deeper.

Sounds to me like there is alot of e-waste north of the boarder and no buyers. It might be a hassle to get them across the border but if someone could go up there and buy up all the boards from scrappers you would have a very good business. I wouldn't do it, too cold for me. Stay away from Cash for Gold, they are ripoffs unless your a business with 40,000 lbs and even then I would be very carefull.
