    Might be cause your posting from your phone, but that last post made no sense to me. Are you saying you'd only sell to this yard for ewaste as you need an outlet for boards an fans?



    Why would take those crappy prices for convenience sake? You could do better selling to a buyer on here, even with shipping. Assuming it's not all brown/low grade boards. Now mind you, I'm sure others are talking about the other prices to, but I know I'm laughing at their electronic pricing. .15lb for a no board HD? We have buyers here who pay .50lb with no board.

    I'm going to have some fun, so work with me here guys..

    Item OP's Yards price Forum price
    cell phone 1.25 3.50 to 5.75
    HD w/th board .42 .75 or more
    HD w/o Board .15 .45
    CPU's 2.31 5.15 on up to 100.00+
    Ram 5.00 10.00 on up to 14.10
    motherboards .04 to 1.05 1.95 up to 3 an some change
    laptops whole .28 1.15
    fingerboards 1.86 1.65 to 4.10 depending on if fingers there or not.

    Don't get me going on all the rest. We have a buyer for fans, we have a buyer for boards, we have buyers for every part on those computers quite possibly!

    Look at those differences in pricing. You see why a lot of us use the buyers here. It's not cause we're idiots an can't get local pricing. We can get it...we just can't get the prices like the buyers here offer. Strike that...some of us can, an some of us can't. No buyer near me locally, so I ship out. I'm quite pleased with the results.

    Now again look at the pricing for that yard on the electronics an then look at the pricing again I listed. You can do the math and see why we're all telling you to go else where to sell your ewaste.

    I'd hate to see what they pay for a HD board, being as the buyers here are paying close to or above 10.00 a lb.

    Either way I wish you luck, with that said...if you use this yard knowing their pricing an having been pointed in a better direction...your choosing to make a mistake many of us wish we didn't. Throwing money away.

    Again best of luck to you.
