Mechanic - I thought about that. But worst case, they say no to my deal, start accepting them anyways and selling elsewhere, and I have a place to turn them in without paying shipping or taking a long drive. Lol.
webuyselltradestuff - I thought about this as well. However, my main thought was to be able to offer more than shred price on the buying side enough that the yard can also pay more than shred. My main yard is very lenient as far as shred goes. Pretty much, if it's at least half steel, you're good to go. Toss it on the pile. So that be in the case, I see tons of printers, computers, phones, etc, being tossed on the shred pile. An
ewaste gold mine going through the shredder. Now, the same yard doesn't even accept soda cans, so getting them to expand may end up being a challenge. But it may also mean they're not educated in the less common areas of scrap. Ie, ewaste.
My main hope/goal here is that I can offer a price where I break even on raw low grade, and make my money on the combo of taking ic's and transformers etc. off the low grade boards, and make hella profit off the higher grade boards that come along with it. That is, as long as this yard or any other yard I talk to is willing to add the tiny bit of extra work that goes along with it. I have the space and time after my normal job to be able to come home and work on the break down and sort to maximize profit, but when you have a normal 9-5 (my case 6-330) it's nearly impossible to be able to set up a time for people to drop off the raw supplies to work on. My dream is to own my own business free and clear. But my real world job pays very well and I carry the health insurance for me my wife and our child on the way. So quitting and starting a business is out of the question. But I'm always looking for that way to build from the ground up and work on it to the point where I can tell the man where to stick it. Lol.
