New e-scrapper in Kansas City

**Sands** · 02-16-2015, 03:03 PM

Hi All,
I am in need of some shipping advice. Been holding off on shipping stuff because of the cost and the inefficient people at the post office. Also, the web sites are confusing - can't figure out what is best.
So, my question are this:
If I am shipping about 10 pounds of cpu's, memory sticks and c/d boards, mother boards, computer wire, etc, how do I send them off to a buyer without loosing a large quantity of profit to the shipper? Or is it just better to sell the boards on e-bay for gold/silver recovery? I've been looking around on the forum for answers, and, of course, end up reading everything else. (LOVE THE FORUM). Thanks to everyone

There are buyers in the buyers section who will instruct you. however with 10 lbs, e bay may be the place depending on what you have and if your willing to put up with it.

by the way welcome to the forum, some how I missed you before. There are a lot more great women scrappers here then you think and they are all just one of us. best wishes. mcw

You mention shipping computer wire, off hand that seems like a poor idea. Shipping cost out weigh the return on pay for the wire. I would save up until you can sell it locally like your steel, aluminum, and copper.

Saving up ewaste until you can do a 50-60 lb and then arrange selling and shipping through one of our buyers. Keep reading, Mike.

There is a whole forum here dedicated to this question. You are missing out on a lot of information to put $$$ in your pocket by not researching.
