    Pricing Good news

    I have been struggling lately to find new E-Waste. My summer outlets have dried up I guess. My goal was to try and save up enough to ship freight. In the end, I felt like I was just holding on for the sake of keeping "stuff". I decided to sell all of my boards and a few other things, as I need room now anyway for other projects(mostly working on re-sale). Anyway, I was going to ship my higher end boards to a buyer on here, and sell my low and mid-grade boards to the yard, but it turns out my yard is paying more!! I ended up selling the yard all of my boards, they even bought some lower end boards at MOBO pricing. I was very pleased. A nice pay day, with no shipping costs, and now I have plenty of space. As for re-sale, I have found a new source of income. I found a local buyer who buys normal every day lamps, mostly for parts. The last month I have worked on getting lamps, most for free, but I actually have paid for some. I then just throw them in my car, and sell to my buyer. It turns out to be a nice profit. I went and practically bought a thrift store out of all their old, broken, everyday lamps for next to nothing. I have since sold all of them. Obviously, I do not make a killing, but make 3-5x on anything I pay for. Not bad, and it is fun. I like finding new outlets for stuff. I joke I "flip lamps" for a living. Who'd a thunk it

    If you are comfortable with sharing I would like to know the prices along with the name and location of the yard. I can understand you may not want to share this info. Mike
