Thanks in advance!!!!!×
Jullie in the past Mario (Ewasted) has been good with knowing the best value. I'd go ahead ask the question at his website. 73, MikeQuote:

The best rate i've found is to let Ewasted arrange the shipping for you through his FedEx account. YMMV
I am currently putting together a pallet of circuit boards for shipment to Ewasted; so 2 questions for anybody with answers. What grade are single socket Server motherboards? What grade are small socket pre- WindowsXP motherboards? TIA
I usually go by asking myself if a motherboard is large socket or small socket. A quarter will fit inside the square of a large socket motherboard. Small socket motherboards have a socket that a quarter won't fit into the middle of.
edited to add image of a large socket:

A quarter will fit inside the square in the middle.
Price update?
Working on it!!!Quote:

I wouldn't be expecting any giant increases at this time. Gold prices over the last couple weeks and the overall price chart look very similar to 8/2020. Copper isa different story. Copper is up about 55 percent since 8/2020. I would expect that significant price increases, if any, would be in the lower grade items that contain signicant copper quantity. That is not to say that higher grade board will not see an increase, but any increase will be more a result of the copper contained in the board.Quote:

Updated! Thanks for your patience!
Looks great thanks for update!!!!!
Four pallets in house - two more on the way .... nice to be back to firing on all cylinders .....
Went in person on Tuesday. Everyone was nice and helpful. I will be back someday, hopefully soon. Converters are my life, computer scrap is just a secondary activity.
Hey! Thanks for your trust and business.... you are pretty nice too :) Looking forward to working with you again! Computer scrap is our life, converters are something I read about :)Quote:

I've sent Mario +/-24 shipments. The majority of those shipments were a single full pallet. Until now, I have never let it be known to Mario that the person on this forum known as Flinthills was the same person who had sent those shipments. Has everything always went smoothly? No it hasn't. However, a reasonable person would expect some hiccups along the way. Especially when the time span, amount of material shipped and the nature of the business is taken into consideration. When I say "nature of the business", I'm referring to the fact that one can't pick up a dictionary and find a cut and dried definition of, for example, mid grade telecom. However, I always keep an accurate written inventory of each shipment. When I'm not sure if I'm sending mid or low grade telecom, I'll also take a couple photos of the questionable material to jog my memory at a later date should it be necessary. By doing that (inventory) we have always been able to reach an agreement that was fair to myself and Mario. To summarize, I've always found Mario to be an honest person. Furthermore, I believe that you too can trust him. Mick Fechter
Ps. Mario, I see it has been nearly 2 yrs since my last shipment. Ewaste has always been just something to keep me busy. Now that I'm approaching 70 yrs of age, I've found it doesn't take as much to keep me busy as it once did. I've been working on a pallet to send. Although, it may be quite sometime before it is ready, it will likely be the last. It has been a pleasure. Sincerely, Mick
I'd be inclined to agree entirely with Mr. Flinthills, I've been working with Mario for a pile of years now too. I can't complain at all!
I remember the price list contained other items like gold tab, flat backs and other types of chips with different prices did all of those now count as ICs?
