$$$ Buying Electronic precious metal scrap! $$$

Currently receiving WAY more of silver memory than ever. This material is worth significantly less than the gold and has caused a major decline in the assay... the two are typically run together, a certain mix, however we have SO much of the silver it will be impossible to ever to do our normal mix. We are lowering the price until we can get caught up with sending it off. Looking at not mixing any of it as well... will let you know the developments over the next 30-60 days. This may be temporary or long term. Too soon to tell.

The gold memory price has gone up.

Understandable but disappointing. Nice to see things slowly climbing.

send all my e scrap to ewasted always professional and great buyer 2 more boxes on way ..as always great doing business..also i separate all of ram and bag everything separate usually in anti static bags hope this helps you sort faster ..i been getting ton of silver "tin" try to send in different lots 16 lots with you now very pleased thanks again

Another great deal completed with Ewasted. I'm so grateful the hard work I do yields more money from companies like this, I'm still in awe actually lol.

I have one box sitting on the truck too. I wonder if our boxes are talking to each other? I told mine it was on its way to see some very professional people.

that looks like a lot to learn and i have no clue where to start.Let me ask this if i bought some computers/laptops and broke them down and sent to you.Could u price and grade them then.I have no clue on the computer stuff.On the average dell tower broken down what are they worth in scrap and that is with the harddrive still in them.

Hopefully they are nice things being said. The stuff in my boxes are older and maybe a little grumpy from the trip.

I would say about $15-20 if they are the larger optiplex. And to get that you would have to break them down to the screws. Clean motherboard, CPU, RAM, Hard Drive board, CD ROM board, cut the wire off the power supply, cut the ends off the ribbon wire. I break the hard drives down to the screws and then sell them on eBay lol. Depending on how many you can get and how fast you can break them down could be well worth your time.
Fill a box with just your "goodies" (ram, cpu, hard drive boards), keep them sorted and send to ewasted. In another box save up your motherboards ( I typically save up a gaylord worth of motherboards to ship as well as the power supplies and other drives I dont break down Floppy drives)
Sell your wire and steel to a yard.

ewasted are very good about sorting motherboards and circuit boards. just make sure to keep your ram , cpus and other smaller items in separate bags.

Start by doing a bunch of reading thru the "electronic section". There is a lot of info there to get you started.
I would imagine that Mario and co. are busier than the proverbial cat on a tin roof.
Maybe this'll help; http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/elect...breakdown.html

clean as in no heat sinks, no batteries, no IO plate, no excess steel from a CPU bracket. Maybe I should have put clean motherboard last so you wouldn't think I meant literally everything had to be clean?
CPU, RAM, hard drive board, CD ROM board, cut the the wire off the power supply, cut the ends off the ribbon wire, OH and clean mother board.....lol. Not sure if cup was a typo, I don't think they buy cups...
And as far as taking anything off the motherboard, I wouldn't waste my time, you may also get a down grade if you take to many of the "goodies" off of the boards.

You aren't digging deep enough if you haven't ever seen a dirty computer. Some of the computers I get in from scrap yards, don't come into my shop unless I hit them with a power washer...twice. Roaches, rats, bugs, bugs, more bugs and good ol' North Carolina CLAY!

Clean em' up ;)

thanks brother, ya lol at typo ment to put cpu not cup.. ya ive seen dirty as in dust and bugs, and ive lived in nc so I know where your coming from although where im at isn't much difference, south Louisiana... that info makes sence and helps, thanks again..

Not sure if I should post this or not, but this is just for reference, my last package was delivered on August 30. It was checked in and processed on Sept 5. I received payment on Sept 6. Maybe they are checking them in as they sort them. If so, then your packages should be done early this week. Again, this post in only meant as a point of reference based on my packages arrival time and yours.
