Just had another great deal with ewasted. Thanks again..
Got check today. This was a small load but I needed the cash! Thanks.
The green board is usually mid grade and the rest is low grade. If it cost you 40c a lb to ship then not worth it. Unless you plannign a trip in person someday, then save them.Quote:

Just took my first load in on Friday. Mario is a true professional, very friendly and great to work with. In my opinion he's a cut above the rest and took very good care of me. I can say without a doubt I'll be using him exclusively in the future.
Sent my first shipment to Mario last week, and I got paid today. I am extremely happy with the speed of this process. Another box is on its way. Thank you Mario!
Thanks Mario as always very smooth get in get graded and get out. As if everyone didn't know CFCS is the best place to sell your boards. You go above the norm and it's always great to work with a true professional in the scrap trade. Thanks keep up the good work and you will go far. For you first timers go with him and you will make some money listen to the people on the Forum about shipping and what to ship read the thread from the start. All you need know is on the forum just look and ask.
Just got my first payment from Ewasted in my PayPal acct. :lol: Must say I am impressed with the service. Their weights and my weights were dead on. The thing I liked the best was that they offered shipping way cheaper than anything I could find, because of their volume discount. That was money in MY pocket. I will be sending them another box full as soon as I can find some more computers to scrap, they are hard to come by, at least in my area. Great job Mario! Thanks!
Something to consider. DVD players, VCR's and the like usually aren't worth the time to tear apart. We just cut off the cord and throw them in the "appliance grade scrap" bin. 9 cents a pound with no time invested plus wire is easy money compared with the work required to dismantle this type of stuff. Let somebodies big shredder do the work and spend your time looking for the high dollar stuff.
Mario, thanks for the time on our first visit. We will be sending a lot of stuff your way. Vance & Mary from Indiana
:lol: E-Wasted's guys are going to get my boxes after I ship them tomorrow and go ''what the what?''
lol, so, I was excited to finally send my first shipment, boxed everything up and then got the email with packing slips. whoopsie! open the boxes back up and put slips in.
got the email with the prepaid labels and slapped them on the boxes. whoops again - each label had the poundage on them for each box. lmao. cut the labels off trying not to tear them with so much tape over them and tore one anyways.
plugged my printer back in and just reprinted and taped over the old ones. I actually got one out of three correct the first time.
I think I added about 5 lbs of tape during this whole process. :&
They re going to need industrial knives to get through all the tape.
I do have to say though that the prepaid pricing I got from him came in waaaaaaay lower than what it would have cost me to ship from Fed Ex on my own *thumbs up*
im wondering if the prices posted on the first page are still current
Yes theey are still current
They are awesome to deal with. They have a quick turn around. They process your materials promptly and give you a detailed list of your materials they process and payments are done quickly. Thank You Mario for a wonderful experience.
new prices up
That figures...lol. 42 lb box ready to go waiting for fedex pick up tomorrow.Quote:

I sent out 4 boxes yesterday. This will be my fourth shipment to Ewasted and have been totally satisfied every time, this load was about 140 pounds. I see price has changed a bit, but dealing in commodities there is always ups and downs .
can anyone tell me if ewasted buys the low grade boardsfrom tvs,crt,and dvd players.i see it isnt listed on the prices but i was wondering about it.i hate to be a bother but any info is greatly appreciated
If he does it would probably only be worth it if you were close enough to deliver them with your other boards.Quote:

Sent in a lot (lot 1365021468) with gold connectors and many of them got classified as low grade connectors at .80 cents per # less than other gold connectors. Ive been paying the same price for all of them. So i would like to know how the company classifies them so i can pay less for some.
Other than this minor concern every shipment has been very satisfactory and a good deal with little hassle. Thank you for your service.
Yes mario buys low grade TV, crt and DVD boards.
That would be good to know as I have been cutting and collecting them for some time now and have four 5 gallon buckets full with the understanding from reading a bunch of posts that gold connectors are all classed the same unless they are military grade.Quote:

Granted I turned in only like 2 lbs with my last shipment but they all payed the same.
What kind were they?Quote:

If I am incorrect I apologize and may have mixed it up with someone else's lot. Since it is so far back these are gone. This is a good time to remind everyone, please report back to us with any issues within a day or two if there are any issues or perceived issues with your lot.
I should of asked at the time about the connectors. Now im buying more and didnt want to overpay. But that clears it up, not all gold connectors pay the same which makes sense. In know way am i displeased about this, cfcs has always been fair on grading all of my escrap.
Got payment for my 4th load to Ewasted. Very happy with service, pricing and service. In this load he upgraded 14 pounds to telecom. I would not have know this and just would have accepted the grade I thought so I will add honesty to my list above.
Thanks so much
Jon

My response was meant to read computers, printers, monitors 90% or more. Reason being 10% or less can be from TV's, routers, etc. That was typically what we had seen. To offer a "menu" of pricing on the plastics is not economically viable.
The issue with the connector was that it was for some sort of audio purposes, even our pricing offered was probably ambitious. I just looked at the top of our connector gaylord and saw two cigarettes.... no one in our company smokes. How do we communicate we dont buy cigarettes as gold connectors?
My fear with putting too much info on our site is the MAIN aspects of our site are being over looked... such as "INSERT A PACKING SLIP" and the part about a human generating quotes during normal business hours. Adding more information, making the site more " Busy" will create even MORE questions.
If you guys have any feedback please email us. I am happy to have this discussion on improvements.
This thread is VERY long and I truly want to keep it relating to feedback/reviews and some important instructions and updates. Discussions regarding our service are best discussed over the phone or via email.
I had the chance to visit some friends up in Buffalo last week. One was in from Canada for a limited time. Soooooo I hustle and load a 1/4 ton of material and give Mario a heads up. IMMA COMIN THROUGH... and ... GOTTA STOP, DROP and GOOOOOO. I kept him updated through the morning via text. IMMA HERE...NOW IMMA HERE...NOW IMMA ALMOST THERE.
Sooooo I pull in the lot and text...IMMA HERE...and as I drive to the back, the door opens. I back in and Mario heads off to get a forklift. Quickly unloads, we talk a bit while I stretch, then I jump in the truck and head on up the road. (not before giving him a few cans of some infamous Skyline Chili)
TRUST!
I do not need to stay, and watch over anyone's shoulder, as they sort my boards. I know all I have to do, is get it there, and go. As a matter of fact, he sent me a partial pay 15min after I got on the road. More the next day. Balance when I got home.
How kewl is that! While I did not have the amount on the truck I would have liked, it made visiting friends possible, by making it a working mini vacation.
Thanks again, Mario, for all that you and the staff do, to go above and beyond!!! I look forward to seeing ya'll again soon! +++BroJer
Heres my first evaluation!
Using an old kitchen scale I was worried my weights would be off - they were actually very close to the nose when all was said and done! ( Total weight -color me shocked on that!). Most of my weights matched his on the items other than MB's and misc boards within a few ounces and I'm sure he uses a digital scale.
Where I WAS off was MY sorting before I packed the boxes and all I can say is thank goodness those guys know what they are doing because I guessed 29 pounds on MB's and Mario's weight came in at 60 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!! :-o I was like, ''Huh??''
So. even though I thought I was ''Mrs. know it all'' and being helpful in my sorting to make it easier and more productive for them I totally ended up being ''Mrs. NOT so know it all!'' :lol:
I even thought I had all my CPU's sorted correctly which they require but it looks like I ended up screwing a couple of those up too (my apologies to the crew). Lol, I was reading my sort list from him on the CPU's and scratching my head thinking, '' huh, I don't remember having one of those!''
My shipment got there on Friday and I was able to track it from start to finish right from their website which was fantastic and pretty cool! I received an email this morning that my shipment had been processed.
When I first joined this site and saw these ads for the ''Cash for computer scrap'' I thought to myself, ''this sounds like one of those 'too good to be true' type things.'' I don't know why, and I just never sent a shipment in.
Well, I'm glad I did and its very real because if I had sold this shipment to my local scrap yard that buys boards at .15 lb I would have only made $17.00 for 112 lbs versus what my shipment was worth to Mario's business.
Two thumbs up to EWASTED and I will most certainly do business with you in the future! :)
Your weights were close to his because he uses a bathroom scale too;)
Yea, but thanks to all of us that send to them, they have upgraded to a digital ;-)Quote:

got confirmation my check is on its way and i was very happy with these guys and i definetly will be sending off more ... !!
I wonder how bad we all are at sorting it for them. LOL I do think it helps somewhat! Or I just hope so!Quote:
