    My Yard Offers To Purchase Computer Keyboards and Printers at $.025 per pound

    Seems pretty low for printers, as there is some value in them. However, if you were sitting on a supply of 100 keyboards would you consider it? At best were talking $5 bucks.Not worth the effort in my mind, although they said I could cut off the chordes. I've been selling the "clicky ones" but what are you guys doing with your keyboards? CL & Ebay?

    I get $0.05 a pound, but I'm not selling yet....I think I'm going to break them down to sell the milars on eBay, scrap the steel for $0.14 a pound and the cords...Just recycle the plastic...

    I have a kilo of mylars myself. Between the two of us, thortek, we might be able to recover an ounce of silver!

    .025 is typical for keyboards. You should get .04 to .06 for printers though. Laser printers have a good board in them so you might want to consider pulling it out before selling at .02
