There going to be mostly computer boards, I told him to have them separated in boxes. I can also tell him which boards not to buy so I don't waste money.

Do you guys have any links that explain good boards from bad boards, so I can tell.

*Update
I called a scrapyard and he said, he can send out a truck that can pick up the Gaylord's in a container on a weekly or monthly basis. I'm having him send me prices. I'll just price Bob, Half of what my scrapyard gives me.

You want to send your competition out to another yard to pick up your (their) product?? Red is dead right there. There is so many ways that is wrong,,,,,;(

The yard your trying to work with is going to want to just buy most all ewaste cause when you narrow it down your telling him what's worth money or not and it's easy for them to cut you out and shop it around for more money than you can/will pay.

I buy from a yard anything computer related and the rest I offer the service of removal/recycling to keep them compliant with the State of Ind. That way the boss does not have to devote labor to it and it's minimal hassle on his part, he buys it all at shred price so it could all go into shred when they haul a load.

Someone really needs to step up and help guide him on a one-one basis, lot of things to explain that just cannot be put down on paper (forum).

Basically feel him out to see if he would be interested in working in a percentage basis of the profit amount after selling the ewaste. Example, he has a gaylord full that he has paid out a total of $1000 for everything in there and you know you can sell it for $2500. Offer him a percentage of the $1500 profit after it sells. Lets say you agree to split the profits 50/50. Along with his initial investment he gets $1750 and you get $750. It is a win/win for you both and you are not out any up front money, and he still makes a profit and does not have to hassle with selling it. This is a bit of an over simplification, but I imagine you get the idea. Eventually you could get enough working capital to just start buying it outright.
