Hey all! new to the forum

[DerfStreets]

Hey all! I'm new here and just wanted to say hi. I've been browsing for several months and learning tons. There is so much information and knowledge here I could read for days.

I've been doing real small scale stuff trying to learn the business and earn some extra cash. I get most of my scrap from work in the form of data cable. I'm branching out into e-waste and trying to find ways to get more inventory, who to sell to, and how to maximize the breakdown of boards. I haven't been able to locate any e-waste buyers in the suburbs of Philadelphia.



I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience with European power cables. They are similar to the US ones with a D-plug on one end that I'm pretty sure has small bits of yellow brass. My question is the male ends. I've learned from the forum that the 3 prongs on US cables are made of brass. I can only assume the European ends are too but they have a different look to them. I wish I could get some pictures up here to show you. I have 3 different types, the larger even has a fuse in it that I thought might be worth money to someone. If anyone has some knowledge on these I'd appreciate it. Otherwise I'll just toss them in with my other cable and get the #2 insulated price.

Thanks
Derf

if you check the buyers section there is a philly scrap buyer. this is not a recommendation as those are not allowed outside of the buyer threads. just a statement of fact.

Welcome to the forum from Florida. Just so you know all the prongs on power cords (U.S.) are brass. Sorry I can't help you on finding a local e-waste buy, I'm too far south.
