Who Is your favorite E Scrap Buyer and Why?

Not sure this question is fair. Nobody has really given us a fair shot... thats just my opinion. I am not complaining, just simply stating a fact. We prepay for customers we have established relationships with and help on logistics on larger loads. Additionally you can track your lot through our process, online. You can see all the settlements and reports online too.

I haven't used any yet, so I wont actually vote, but I will say this.

I agree with PTS, I like boardsort.com because they do pay via paypal, and you can use the funds to ship, so your out no out of pocket cash really.

I like easyrecycle, and the others because they are active members of the community and provide a great deal of knowledge to any who is interested for FREE, when their time and knowledge are worth a small fortune in itself.

I can understand why easyrecycle and a few others do not pay up front. Lets say the scale is broken, and I weight 120 lbs of motherboards, but in fact it is say 115lbs. Then you have to go through all the hassle of refunding back the $5. Now granted, they could easily say "we will deduct the $5 from your next payout" but what happens if it is some guy that won't have another shipment for say a year and a half...they do that all the time, eventually they would be hurting from it.

So I personally can see the positive and negative.

it would be hard to vote unless you've dealt with multiple e-waste buyers from this forum... that being said, i support local business, and cash in hand trumps pay pal. my buyer teaches me while we make money together and individually.

If someone needs help on the shipping of items and you have sent us items before we are more willing to help you out on that and many other logistics. We just do not offer that as of right now but we are looking into a free ship option but not sure how we can work that in the way we need to.

But in short. If we had a established relationship I can work with you on all matters.

This post can turn very dirty but I think me and e-wasted and keep things together. From some of my dealings with him from privet e-mails/pms this is what I can say of him/his company. I do not think he would be out to scam you..or only pay you $4.00 for 100pounds of motherboards. But I have not sent him one item as our prices that we are getting just dont work with each other. But beyond that I think he is truthful and would not be a bad card to have in your pocket if for some reason you cant sell to me for one reason or another. But of coarse I will say as being the owner of my company...sell to us.

I voted for Ewasted, His prices are also very reasonable and i can get a quote prior to arriving, and i don't lose any money in paypal fees like i would with boardsort.

Boardsort is only about 5 miles away from Ewasted so why would you have to ship compared to driving, look it up on Google maps.

From a yard owner looking at some of the posts here...I have learned a few things based on what makes one yard stand out over another.

For anyone who owns or runs a yard.. there are some good things here to pick at.

I don't like this question and I really question the motives of the original poster. That being said, I will explain my vote for ewasted. He is the only one that I have done business with here for me to make a guess. While Easy and I have talked we can never get our pricing in a way that we both feel like a win. I however can't say that Easy would scam anyone ( I don't believe he would), or that he underpays (I don't know enough about the market to make that statement) or that he is a bad business man (In the limited dealings I have had with him I would find him to be honest).

That being said, Ewasted and I have done some business together and his prices were very competitive, and when I bought something from him that did not meet my specifications, he was easy to get hold of, fast to correct the issue and most important to me, he was quick to make me, the customer, feel like I was getting everything I wanted. He has been an absolute pleasure to work with and I look forward to continuing my business relationship with him for years to come.

Personally, I think these types of polls are good for nothing productive but still I felt compelled to offer my 2 cents.

Steve thanks for the plug since the original poster left us off the poll yet I have had several positive dealings with members of this forum.
