prices have been updated yet again.
Prices have been updated but I want to post something that I think you all will be jumping for joy!!
I had a gaylord full of cleaned cell phone boards that I sent off and it came back good....so I am going to step it up and spend some money to see if it returns the same.....in short what that means is i'm buy cellphone boards cleaned (no plastic and ect) for $9.00 a pound.
Prices have been updated.
on cd/floppy disc is the price for just the board or the hole unit
Is that boards from ANY cell phone? If so, I wahoo!Quote:

Yea we knew they where worth something but we did not know how much so just over time we saved them up and sent them off to be refined and they came back pretty good so we are going to buy them and fill a few boxes and see if they come back at the same if they do..then we will become a strong buyer on it as well......you kinda can say we are testing the waters on it.Quote:

Thanks again!
Had my first experience with easy today, most of you know we mainly do cars, I left this moring at 2am from Jonesboro AR and got to easys place a little after 9. I had a Gaylord 3/4 full of motherboards, 500plus lbs of cd roms and floppies, a large box of hard drives, some finger cards ram and CPUs. He was very helpful and pulled some items out and suggested I sell them on eBay and set some processors to the side and said if they worked he would pay me more for them after he checked them out. Super nice guy and the first person I've met on the forum. I feel he went way beyond what he needed to do and can't wait for my next trip to texas
Nice meeting with you as well....but I see you did not tell anyone how you had 500+ pounds of cd and floppy drives, 150+ pounds of hard drives AND 100 pounds of wire in a cab in a half truck!!! Ya'll this truck has the SMALL back seat in it...not something you would see me jumping into but some skinny chick or maybe some kids would HARDLY fit and he had alot of weight back there!
Sorry I just had to say that as that was the first person to be pushing that much weight in the back seat of a small truck.
Hey Easy, question on your latest updated prices. On HDD's your list says $0.8 per lb. Do you mean 80 cents/lb or 8 cents /lb? If it is 80 cents per lb, then that is a good price...
Yes its $0.80 cents a pound...but I need to adjust pricing as it looks like gold is going to stay low...I was hoping it would get back above 1650 mark but its still below...so prices have to change.Quote:
