Hello
Looking at two categories right now -
Large socket - Pentium 3 and older boards (includes slots) also see below:
Socket size of 1 3/4" or higher

Small Socket - Newer than Pentium 3
Socket size of 1 1/2" or smaller



Will post photos, but it is pretty standard with what other buyers do now.

I have to say that I appreciate the new motherboard categories- it's simpler and in many cases makes predicting the potential value of whole computers a little easier.

There are two things that are sort of "bugging" me though- I went ahead and took the metal brackets off the gold finger boards even though the policy explicitly states you don't have to. I guess I'm secretly somehow hoping they get priced a little better but, if not, I will have shot myself in the foot. Oh well, at least I have a slightly larger collection of jack screws...

Also, I took a leap of faith and sent in my meager CPU collection- in some cases there was only one of a particular type. Depending on how you read what's online, either there *are* minimum quantities or weights, or there *aren't*. I have to assume it is "better"/more efficient for Ewasted to receive larger quantities of any particular item, but then I also assume that if they are willing to tolerate (even encourage) folks to send in 30 lbs of stuff at a time that they can (and will?) weigh out and pay for relative handfuls of higher-valued items.

Live and learn, I suppose- cheers!

Hello!
We are trying to make things easier... sometimes this ends up being more difficult.
There are no minimums on CPUs, we go through all of them. We can't make a list of all the different types, there are hundreds. So we sometimes have to mix and match ,especially if low quantities of each type. Does this help?

This brings up a lingering question I've had. For those of us that deal with small quantities, how can we help you make sure we get paid for categories where we only have one item? For example, a box with mostly motherboards (most are P4) but two are dual socket server, and one telecom board. I don't want to wait until I have a box full of telecom and a box full of dual socket server boards (it could be years). What can I do to make sure I don't just get paid motherboards for all of the box?

This is what I do....tape or tie the different boards together. Mark the tape what you believe they are or tape a post it to them if you tie them up. For dvd boards i bag them and write on the bag what they are. Same for hard drive boards and small telecom,printer and modem boards. They are still going to open the bags to see whats inside but if they are separated in the main box then they should classify and price each package. It will probably make it easier for them to sort and separate as well.

I have sent multiple shipments to Mario and the one time there was a problem it was in my favor due to them classifying a board in a higher grade than what it should have been. Have faith in your buyer guys.

just to add to confusion (sorry)....laptop boards going as the large socket price??........Sorry to ask all these questions but when I go to a computer store or something I have to pay a fair price then be able to sell for a profit.........THANKS!!!!

They weren't really whacked. They are worth less... hence the bump to CD/DVD boards. We made a blend before and that has ended due to considerably less old boards to mix in. Now we have to separate by socket type.

If you pack a box with both materials, keep all of one type towards the bottom and the remaining material on top.

I wanted to post this so there is no confusion.......I am disappointed in the p4 boards being less valuable but I am going to have to change up my biz plan accordingly.........I am going to continue to use ewasted and crew as I am preparing to ship off more material today..........I agree that their customer service is top notch and I thank the lord that I am not sitting on a ton of small socket stuff!!!

Did Mobos just jump down 40 cents? Wasnt it just at $2.40 and now its at $2.00? That's a pretty substantial decrease to some profits for me.

there are two different grades of MOBO now for Ewasted... see price list

I did an on line survey for CFCS and one of the questions was about prices changing, what will the outcome be? Will you change prices as needed or are you going to go to a bi weekly or monthly price updated structure?

Hello
We are looking to hold pricing for generally 2 weeks to a month at a time.

The customers we service prefer stability over pricing fluctuation.

The caveat is pricing is STILL subject to change at ANY time giving major market changes, or other reasons relating to how we price. I think the last three years on here are a good indication that we dont have to change pricing too often.

Thanks!

** Side Note: Have had so many awesome transactions with CFCS that it seems redundant for me to keep posting about them unless I can think of something better than "Went great" or something of that nature - The way that they conduct business made me loyal beyond price differences - If they buy it : I'm selling it to CFCS!!***

those boards vary greatly, most of them will probably fall into one of the motherboard catagories. sometimes the routers are better. Switches (rack mount router) are usually better. all of this stuff varies greatly my make, model, and age. Handling them and sending pic in for price quotes will help you get a rough idea over time.

your best bet if to send pics in, especially since he is adjusting his sorting methods right now.
