    My client wants to make sure their e-waste will not be sent overseas where it would be processed with cyanide or mercury. I typically receive a pallet at a time from this customer. I am allowed to resell working components as I please but e-waste needs to have an individual record of each lot. I can combine steel, but not processors, memory and boards. This leaves me with small lots of processors. I might try putting it down for $1 shipping. Normally, one buyer purchases 20 lots so I can combine shipping. The local pickup seems to be confusing.

    We have a couple of buyers that are R2 certified. Ask them how much of their stuff goes overseas. Your throwing a lot of money away with the Ebay there.

    Selling your boards, cpus , etc to anyone on ebay does not say anything about the final destination of the material.
