    Looking for Mike 8)

    Hello everyone my friend Mike told me I had to register here because this is a great place to learn and to find information.


    I am a newer scraper. I specialize in computer recycling but I get all types of electronics.

    I am trying to get the most of the what little scrap I get so I am interested in learning about tantalum compositors and any other compositors that have any value.

    Thank you for accepting me into the community. Any links to how to recycle electronics or about compositors would be awesome.

    READ the threads here...you will get an education and a 1/2. There are SEVERAL VERY INFORMATIVE ones on tantalum and a few buyers on here that pay pretty good prices.
    PROFIT is made when you BUY/ACQUIRE NOT when you sell

    I forgot to say that I have a small shop I use to break down computers in to the parts.

    I use facebook to collect computers from friends and followers like it if you like it makes me look better the more likes I have lol.

    About time,,, Only been about a year or so. It takes a bit to get to know your way around but it will be well worth your time spent.
    Just look for the Buyer/Seller button, that will take you to the section where all the buyers post their wants.

    HA! Coming here and saying you are looking for "Mike" is like yelling "MOM" at a daycare!

    Well he has been my scrapper mom for a while lol.

    I'll look around and ask questions. I'm not sure if I'm ready to sell yet but I am always interested in knowing what is selling at what price just in case.

    For most questions, they have already been answered. Some times our search feature will work but the Google search seems to work better. Here's the link to the electronic section.

    Almost everyone here is named Mike. Sledge is absolutely right on the "daycare" part

    Anyways, greetings from Wyoming! There is a lot of stuff in the archives that should whet your appetite for a while. There's a link for the archives at the bottom of the page
