Well that escalated quickly...
I'm not doubting anyone's word, heck, I really don't care enough about what anyone else thinks of me & my operation to bother overstating my weights.
It does seem curious, though, to me, that someone could position themselves to gather ten tons of high grade ewaste material if said person doesn't know the basics of board sorting. I'm not trying to say I could tell a $1.25/pound board from a $1.50/pound board, but I think I have a journeyman's feel for the basics. Right now I have what I consider to be a bit of a hoard out in my garage... and it still probably wouldn't trip one ton on a scale. Close, maybe. That's from not taking any green P4 mobos in since and including a (for me) big haul in 2015. I've taken in other mobos, mind you, but green P4s I've been socking away as a leveraged gold investment. I don't need to tell yall it hasn't been my best investment move.
I actively seek out computers and in 2 years I haven't got a tenth of what some unknowledgeable someone has just managed to 'stumble upon' in short order?
How does that even happen?
Not saying you're lying, by any means... I once saw a guy with at least 300# of ram shoveling it into a gaylord at the ferrous yard. I wanted to cry & I wanted to scream... So I know that people can get things WAY outside their experience levels. I just wish I could get ahold of a whale that was outside of MY experience level!!!!I'm not even sure what that would look like.
