What computer scrap are you only getting 5 cents a pound for?

Computer scrap is any computer board from brown to motherboard. They don't really deal in boards and tell people up front there are better prices out there for motherboards ext.
Shipping brown boards won't make me any money so i take .05 and give them brown boards with basically nothing on them . It takes a lot of fiber board and resistors to make 32# lol

Yes brown only and almost totally depopulated at that. Barrel was full and they are the only game in 50 miles so, it is what it is
The sad thing is it just gets worse the farther north you get. I buy some wire and stuff for the same if not more than my local yards and sell them to were you went. And I still make a good profit.
Just to share, I went to a scrap yard in Northern NH (don't want to say name) his stainless price was $0.10/lbs.
When I went up (was going by anyways, I sold him my dirty aluminum at $0.10/lbs and a bunch of romex wire at $1.15. He gave me a deal on the wire. His listed price was $0.88/lbs
