    DON'T USE THEM!

    Here is my story....

    I called the 1-866 number and I request to speak with someone who can tell how much my stuff is worth. They transfer me to "Jason"... I told him what i have and he says that he was gonna pay me the current e-scrap metal prices.

    This is what i sent to them

    - 144lb of Hard Drives
    - 18lb of Gold fingered memory cards
    - 23lb of fingered cards
    - 20lb of mixed boards
    - 2lb of silver ram

    The value for my material as today current e-scrap prices go like this

    - Whole Hard Drives with boards= 144lb x $0.70lb = $100.08
    -     Gold fingered memory cards = 18lb x $12.75lb. = $229.50
    -     Fingered cards = 23lb. x $3.65lb. = $83.95
    -     Mixed boards = 20lbs. x ? = ?
    - Silver ram = 2lb. x $4.50lb. = $9

    So, I was supposed to get $422.53

    They PAID ONLY $93.00 MISERABLE DOLLARS

    A LOSS OF $329.53

    AGAIN!! i LOST $329.53

    DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU!!!!!

    At the end it's your choice!

    Contact them again let them know what's up. Hopefully they can send you a few more $'s that's why we do not use them around here...

    Hotmetal, you might raise a little h*ll with them and let them know that you know what your stuff was worth. In fact you can get current prices right here in our Buyer/Seller section. We have some posts here in the archives about people getting the same treatment as you and they have raised a stink a couple of times and the Co. has done some adjusting. Good Luck. If you would have checked them out a little you would have found that Co. running under about 5 different names (alias).
