    A good experience from last week.

    I had been looking for decent price's on gold bearing boards for awhile. Been watching e-bay, calling around to places in the area that would buy boards. The best price I could find was not to my liking. Figured that I could reclaim the gold myself for more than they offered.

    Then I saw easyrecycle's post, and figured give it a shot.

    It turned out really well. The price given to me made a profit over what I was offered locally, even with the shipping. He gave me first class service, and was great on the communication.

    I am glad that the forum was here to give me more options on were to sell.

    thanks Patton...how does it work....do you just ship it to him and he sends you a check, or do you have to send him pictures, or
    what....that's why I was waiting....couldn't figure out the process 'cause a scammer could easily say send it and I'll send you a check....no offence to easyrecycle.

    I totally understand Dee.

    I had watched easyrecycle on the forum. He is a contributing member here, not just spamming.
    (Wanna buy some tramadrol?)

    Easyrecycle's and my deal was done with communication in PM's on the forum. The details of each persons transaction will be different. I had to go the paypal route.

    I PMed him talking of the boards. He replied and we worked out the details of how it would work. I shipped him the boards, and waited anxiously while he weighed them, figured price, and got back to me. The waiting from time of his receiving of the boards to payment was 48 hours. I understood that time frame since I was requesting a different payment source.

    I took the risk and it turned out well for me. I can say easyrecycle treated me well, and was courteous in all my dealings with him.

    The other side is that easyrecycle took a risk with me. I never sent a picture of my boards to him. He could have very well received a 120 lb box of TV (bad) boards on his doorstep and then what? Tell me that he could not give me the agreed upon price since I misrepresented my product? I get all P.O.ed and bad mouth him all over the forum cause I was butthurt?

    I can not say that it will turn out well with another user or with your dealings with anyone. The risk is there.

    I am just thankful that the forum was here to give me the avenue to take that risk.

    Patton seemed to know what he had an knew what low grand an high grade was. An had a very good understanding.

    An with anyone I would LIKE to see photos but you know what you sent me and if there boards from crt/tv screens...tell me.

    But how it would work. You send me the items. I weigh them up an then send you the invoice of what it was all worth.

    Then if you have Bank of America bank account I will send the funds there (it would be free of all costs.) Or I could send it by paypal or even a money order mailed out to you.

    There is no reason for me to burn someone. I rather ya'll trust me and send me your boards every so often. You all will make some money and I will make some money as well. We all go home happy.

    If anyone else has boards an or memory/CPU's. Send me a pm an we can get the job done.

    It has been many weeks since my original post on this, and easy recycle is still doing good for me.

    Thanks easy.
