Looks like prices went down again?
Also do you take fax machine and printer boards? Do they fall under telecommunication boards? And also again, do you accept phone jack plugs for gold content?

Decided it was time to leave a review, since I keep getting emails to leave a review.... Done 2 transactions so far and getting ready for the 3rd. Each time it has been flawless, easy. It takes a lot of trust to mail off hundreds of dollars of items to someone you never met, communication is good and payment comes fast. (I choose check so you have to deal with the postal service). The shipping has always been less when going through CFCS, on one shipment it was over 50$ cheaper.
So here is my only question. and I read from pages 23 back to 14. computer wire- need a better clasification of this, and will this include lan cables? and other miscellaneous wires for a computer. For instance the wire on a power supply? Thanks for the great service, Ron
Dang I see prices dropped on parts I shipped in. I can never seem to hit the price change right. Either to early or to late.
My review of service well I have only sent in little shippments as I am going throw my stuff but they are very fast and comunicate very well.
Hello,
We take printer boards, fax machine boards, etc - paid on sort.
Computer wire - power cables, video cables, ribbon wire with ends, lan cables, power supply wires, etc.
Only cable we DONT buy at that price is the plastic "ribbon" wire that is out of printers - there is virtually NO copper in there.
Don't feel bad.......I can't seem to time it right either Still getting the best price on RAM I sent today. Best part is I get to call and try to beat up Mario on the price. Always a great conversation even though I lost the pissing match today. Hats off to Ewasted.Quote:

I was worried at first about sending a large amount of escrap to someone, it takes a lot of trust and in today’s society scammers are prolific; sending them your material gives them power and virtually strips you of your ability to protest, fortunately Ewasted and his crew are awesome.
I chose Ewasted for two primary reasons. The first reason being that he has literally hundreds of positive reviews and I have not seen any negative reviews, no other company on or off the forum even came remotely close. The second reason was his quick, polite, and professional responses, both of these were huge factors. I was happy to see how quickly he responded and that even though I bombarded him with questions he was patient with me and never lost his cool, even when I was a little impatient and obnoxious. Quality communication is quintessential in my opinion, especially when dealing with newer sellers. In addition, I found Ewasted’s pricing to be the best I have seen.
He received my shipment right when he was going through and R2 audit while simultaneously losing power to hurricane Sandy. My shipment was completed rather quickly and certainly thoroughly. I was quite impressed with how they sorted, especially how they broke up the telecom boards into so many categories and paid so well for them. In addition to boards I sent heat sinks, hard-drives, wire, connectors, memory, different cpu’s, etc…. I was impressed with their meticulous sorting followed by their quality pricing.
I really appreciate their service and I look forward to doing more business with them in the future. I would strongly recommend them.
Thanks Ewasted!
I just completed my 4th transaction with Ewasted and his guys. When I got my breakdown I noticed that I was paid the complete HD rate instead of the HD board rate. I contacted Ewasted through PM on this forum and he replied very quickly. After a few messages everything was sorted out and he cut me another check for the difference. It was handled very professionally and I am satisfied with the speed and outcome of the whole situation. Got my checks and also sent out another package today. Thanks.
I'm sorting through, itemizing and weighing all my items for my benefit. However, if I wanted, could I just throw every board/drive/ram/etc into a big gaylord and let you guys sort it out? (not the cpu's)
Filling up my first box of Ewaste now! :D
Well I got my first boxful right now, just got to get it weighed in. Im not new to shipping, but when the box weighs in between 70 to 100lbs would be my guess, whats the cheapest way of sending it?
I would at least try to seperate it by boxing or bagging up each item. The longer it takes for them to go thru the longer it takes to get paid. If you are itemizing and weighing yourself then why not try to have it prepared for them to do the same?Quote:

Depending on what you are sending usps flat rate boxes might be a way to go.Quote:

I have sent in several boxes with him arranging a pick up by Fedex from my front porch. I found this to be cheaper than me taking the box to a Fedex place. I also have sent in a pallet load that he arranged the shipping which worked out very well. Mike.
Ok sweet. First things first, I got to go get an accurate weight from the UPS store.
I see y'all got the "track this package" button up and working. I like it.
Yes, very cool.Quote:

That's a pretty clever idea using a paper cutter for the ribbon cables. I've got one sitting in the closet that never gets used anymore, but maybe it will now. Thanks...
Yep, that's the ticket. Since I don't have one though I'll have to make do with a pair of side cutters. Should still be able to get pretty close.
Um, I just finished a transaction with Ewasted and I chose direct deposit, from the time they issued the payment till the time I received it was less than 24hrs and they charge no fee, although some banks charge a $1.00 fee to receive it. Remember, direct deposit is significantly different than a wire transfer, with the exceptions of commercial wire transfer companies, wire-transfers take longer to clear and have a much higher fee, $20-$25 on average, depending on the bank. Some places give options for it to clear quickly but this almost always costs significantly more.Quote:

Hi There,
used the search and couldn't come up with an answer. Do you need to remove the metal brackets on the gold finger cards before sending them in to ewasted?
Thanks
The last I remember seeing was that you do NOT have to take off the brackets. The answer is buried somewhere in the dozens of pages on this thread but I dont blame you for not searching them all. I wish there was a shorter list of FAQ's
Shendog is correct.
Uhh... I just removed all of mine! LOL I started to look threw the threads as well, but figured that they were easy to remove and that they did not want the additional weight.
^ I also always remove mine, I figure E-wasted isn't paying for the steel so i remove them. Great buyer to deal with also. Working on a load for him now..
it would be nice to have a FAQ on the first page, so I dont have to ask anymore questions, lol. Also to try and save people time .
Like this one...Quote:

Only problem I had was I sent in about a pound and a half of ICs, was only paid for a half pound, and I had a little over 2 lbs of gold finger ram and about 1 lb of silver ram seperated in different bags, still got the mixed price. Not a big deal, I'm wondering if FedEX threw my box around or something and stuff got spilled/knocked around/lost.
Getting ready to send another box in, hopefully prices get updated soon to reflect gold returning to where it was before they were lowered.
Thanks for another good transaction!
Keep it under 70 pounds or shipping goes up quite a bit, otherwise consider sending a gaylord/pallet of several hundreds pounds or more.Quote:

It looks like I was close on one box though at 68lbs, which sucks cause I weighed it on the bathroom scale several times. Must be because it was bigger/bulkier I couldnt get an accurate reading, or it was the newspapers and tape. But I kept it under 70lbs.
I am glad our tip has helped save you some money!
Lol - just saw Ewasted updated the prices. I hope they went up since I have 3 boxes about to go out the door. 3 boxes - right at 20 lbs each and the quoted price of shipping is under $37. Much better rates then you would get yourself. This will be my 3rd transaction with the company. Already working on my next shippment. Just ran out of room to store stuff.
Well just got the prepaid label emailed to me, looks like $37.73 to mail a 45 lb box! Better than $41.80 USPS and $49.05 Fed X without prepaid.
Can't wait to see how this goes! I did add a note stating my Scrap Metal Forum ID (not sure if it gets better pricing or not)!
It was a great tip and thank you. The fed ex website says that you will be recieving it today. The only problem with smaller boxes is less of an opprunity to sort more. I had to do a lot more shoving this time. I did the best I could with some of the stuff. But motherboards have a bunch of other stuff in it, for that box.Quote:
