what do you do with 2 to 300

Or do further research an it would show you, you can breakdown the keyboards for the mylar an wire. An the wire an motor in the mice if you so desire.

Or just donate them, or throw them away. Much easier then actually breaking things down an profiting.

An yes...I break my keyboards down for the mylar an wire, an I rip the wire out of the mice, as I get something for the whole mice with no wire. I no weird, but hey..someone wants to pay me, I'll take their money.



edit to add: If your worried about what folks did with their items before they came to you, it best might be to focus your efforts on something that doesn't make you squeamish. I mean your recycling others people goods, chances are your going to come across dirt, germs, dust, bugs, an all kinds of other fun yet gross things. Buy some gloves, a dust mask, or whatever an get it done.

Ain't trying to be rude but this isnt the kind of gig for "clean freaks" an "germophobes". An all the above I listed can come out of electronics of all kinds. Keyboards, towers, whatever.

Sometimes getting paid means getting dirty or putting up with conditions you normally wouldn't.

Now pardon me, according to a bunch of threads I need to go prep my doomsday shelter. The sky is falling an all that.

Not sure if the sky is falling but if I remember correctly someone (I WON't mention names) called you out in another thread

< shrugs > It's like most anything else .... there are job hazards you run into. No big deal.

The main reason I equated used keyboards & mouses (mice ?) to a used toilet seat was to indirectly explain why there might not be a big market for them. It might be a very nice toilet seat but most people will prefer to go out and buy new because they're really not all that expensive. Folks are going to the wireless keyboards and meeces now because they're more convenient. That's rendering the old stuff obsolete.

The sanitation thing ..... ? You see it at the doctor's office. They've that disposable plastic wrapper thing that fits over the keyboard ?

Pretty soon they'll come with a mouse condom to keep the germaphobes happy !

As a refurb guy wired mice and keyboards are the way to go........Wireless may be ok for the guy at home but every time I want to boot a computer having to re-configure a wireless device is just not going to happen........I buy 100's of keyboards and mice every year from surplus auctions and yes many do get scrapped..........The worst thing usually from gov't employees that I find is that they are full of food crumbs........I hope that while sitting at their desk in a gov't office they are not doing anything worse
