Buying Scrap Circuit Boards and Other E-Scrap - Page 3

IF I had that much my logistics would be worked out long before I was ready to move it. I have a friend who owns a trucking company and on that amount of material I am sure shipping could be worked out with the refiner. Customs fees, import fees not an issue since I would not be shipping out of the country. I also would have proper representation of my materials by the person of my choosing to make sure everything is going as it should be, I believe industry standard is around 1% of final settlement. There would also be be 3 samples taken of the melt, one for me, ,one for the refiner, and a referee sample in case there is a dispute at time of settlement. I would also want full accounting of all metals recovered and paid out as such. I also believe that one is able to lock in a settlement price prior to having materials refined. I may be off on this but I do believe reading that as an option so you would have an idea of what to expect, still taking a chance on metals rising but less of a risk. Or you may open an account where the refiner will hold your metals upon you requesting payment, again may be off on this but I believe that is an option. I have done my homework on the subject so I will be ready when and if I ever get to that point

As far as selling materials to you, it is always an option as with any other buyer here as long as your prices are better than what I get locally. As of today you are still .50# lower than what I am getting for P4 mobos, all the rest of your prices are within a few cents either way so shipping for a few pennies would eat into my profits. I do like your telecom prices though. I am also still curious on the breakdown of pricing on hard drive boards.
Don't be sad though, I dont ship Mobos to any other buyer here either since I have a good thing going locally, but there is always hope I do like your moxy though, you will do well here.

Ya I was just busting your BRASS with that reply I knew what you ment. I know that there is Know large scale BOARDS refined in this country other then smaller refiners who are allowed so many EPA credits a year to furnace HIGH GRADE material. So they dont do any Boards other then small samples lots. A couple of the mills have small HUBS set up in the USA for their sales reps buying boards outrite. And I can not hedge any of my metals until after they have been processed and assayed then there is a finance charge for that as well. They get you coming and going.

Hey its all good on my end, I give as good as I get and always laugh it off. And like I said I think you are going to be a good fit here especially for those up your way.

Prices look good. Will be talking to you soon.

Dave: I try and focus on High grade E-waste such as boards but I do purchase most Ewaste. Have you already talked with Jeff Subulkin? Because I think he asked me about prices for Fishkiller...Let me know.

No I do not. Those two items are geared twoards arts and crafts. I purchase E-waste, Non-ferrous, Catalytic Converters, auto cores and sometimes Ferrous metals. There are people on this site that are purchasing those two items for more money then their metals are worth.

I will be making another thread soon with everything we are buying for E-Waste and non-ferrous.
