    I agree totally. No yard within 60 miles of me has been able to answer questions about e-waste. No yard within 60 miles of me has been willing or able to answer questions like the buyers on this forum have. The ability to send a picture to a buyer, receive a price, send a fed x box the next day, AND know that the price you were given will be honored is a welcome relief. Some would say relief, others would call it trust.

    I can only afford to sell my shred to local yards. All other material is either to buyers I have found on this forum. Texas, Colorado, Arkansas, Ohio, Pennsylvania are all states that have received material.

    18 months ago, I had a pickup load of material that I made some money on. Only because of the depth of knowledge obtained from questions answered by buyers and other members of this forum have I been able to move to the point of not being afraid of accepting 10 tons of material at a time. Buyers that advertise on this forum and are wiling to answer questions are the ones that will continue to receive shipments.

    Besides the buyers, everyone that has posted on this forum also provides an extremely valuable service. Without the multitude of people that are willing to share, many of us would not have been able to make our "little scrap metal businesses" work.

    So, BroJer, thanks for the timely and on point message. It is one that we should all read more than once.
