I'm a little unsure if I really want to share this but I guess that's why we have this forum.
I just got the numbers back from my buyer on my last shipment. I am going to use the actual total amounts.
286.22 lbs of materal not including the shippping boxes
$1245.59 gross
-$159.80 shipping
$1085.79 net to me
$1245.59/286.22lb = $4.35 gross/lb
$1085.79/286.22lb = $3.79 net/lb
I think this may answer the question of some as to is it worth it? For me it is but like most things there is much left out of the above numbers. I paid for most of the materials I sold. Also I have held back a lot of items, harddrives, r/w dvd, memeory, cpu's. In addition a fair amount of Al, steel, insulated wire, brass and stainless steel, also not included in those numbers. Best of luck, Mike.
