    I have been targeting my marketing efforts toward businesses. Most have e-waste they need to get rid of. After driving, loading and breaking down anything less than a truck load I usually need to take at no cost. Remember nothing is free if you spend time and gas to go get it.

    I stopped offering to pay for stuff after the last trip I made. The guy had me wait like 2 hours. It was an hour drive to get there so I went and ate and waited. He told me "I have a ton of stuff, like 20 lbs. of RAM." Well worth the effort for twenty pounds. I got there and it was like 2.2 lbs. WHA WHA WHAAAAAAA.



    If I am going to pay for e-waste it has to be brought to me and then I want it cheap. 30% to 40% of what I can get is my max. offer. After processing, and shipping, that nets me about 50% profit. Plus it is a hedge against the market going down a little.
