    Canadian E watse buyer coming soon

    Hey all. I've decided to throw up a shingle and start buying ewaste here in Canada. There isn't really a convenient buyer up here, and the ones that do exist don't have very good pricing. I hope to have things finalized in the next week or so and will put a post up in the buyer section.

    I wont be leaving my American friends out either. I wont be competing with the buyers all ready established. In fact the only way I'll be able to make a go of this will be to clear some of my material through customs and ship to the buyers here.

    I will however be buying some of the stuff you guys don't have a market for now. For people depopulating their on boards I will be buying certain components. As well I have been developing a plan to buy some of the more odd ball stuff like hard drive magnets, optics, transistors etc. This is a little further out, but I will be setting up a US mailbox so people can take advantage of flat rate shipping.

    If there is stuff you guys really wish you could move, let me know and I'll see what I can do.



    Stay tuned.

    Thanks guys, I appreciate the words of encouragement. I'm really looking forward to this. I think the potential is huge, both for myself and other e scrappers that just don't have an outlet right now. I've been working hard on this, pretty sure I've spoken to 50% of all the buyers and refiners in existence around the planet in the last 2 months. I hope to be able to post up some prices in the next week or so, and start getting some feedback from all of you.

    Thank you all for all the info that has been contributed on this forum.

    Thanks Tackleberry. I'll send you a PM in a day or two, I might have a buyer that can bump up the prices on some of that stuff we were talking about that we can't get good pricing on. I'll let you know as soon as I get confirmation.

    Hi guys. Sorry for the delay getting a thread put up with pricing. I am waiting to here back from a processor that is taking their sweet time sharpening their pencil. If they don't get back to me today I will go ahead and post prices up tonight regardless.

    Thanks all.

    Will do destucto. My intention is to take everything that the our friends in the US get to sell and then some. Although probably too far for you, I will also be buying crt's and plastic. I will do my best to get at least a basic list up tonight, still hoping for that one last email to come in today.

    Thanks

    I started the thread, but it's waiting for mod approval. Hopefully sometime soon, I just need to add the prices.

    Sorry for the delay.

    Will do Ron, and thank you very much for the kind words. Once the main thread gets approved and put up I'll try to keep a schedule of pickups and locations posted.
