I'm one of the lucky ones. There are many e-waste buyers by me but thiere prices are low enough that I can set my prices to compete with them and still make a profit. I do the same as Mechanic, I brake down the power suplies, sell the boards for a little more than low grade. The fans go to my core buyer as electric motors, I can leave all the plastic on them. I brake down the cd drives, sell the boards, pull the motors and toss the plastic.
