new to electronic scrappin

Welcome to the forum. So what brought you to scraping? What part of Illinois are you located?

We have an entire forum devoted to ewaste so I suggest start reading there. Also there is a forum just about breaking down things to maximize their scrap value. There are several sticky threads at the top of forums that will get you on a great start. Don't ignore the other forums since you never know what you will run into in your scraping business. Every question you have and don't know you should have has most likely been answered many times in the past. So while you are reading notice at the bottom of each thread are similar threads to help you learn even more. Mike.

Now if you had about 50-100 more then you'd have enough to start looking at the buyers to start shipping parts to.
