Supporting SMF E-waste buyers, when things are good or not so good!

The goal of any business is to make a profit but many business nowadays set ETHICS aside for profit. I'm pretty much in the same situation as you. I drive 1.5hrs to my ewaste buyer and will continue to do so until I can no longer be competitive because of the prices I'm being paid or the opportunity cost in some other way become too huge. A few dollars isn't worth it. I prefer to do business with an individual-which is even more rewarding knowing I'm not supporting someone "higher up" to sit in a cozy a/c office while we work our butts off.
