    I wouldn't ship power supplies. I've had trouble finding yards that would pay more than shred, then came across a couple that would do them as electric motor. Figure if you look around you can get .18-.25 is my guess. The obvious answer so far is to send as big a load as possible to get discounts. Memory and cpu's don't take much room to store, and prices are down now. In another post I mentioned where I shipped 10 medium size moving boxes totaling 600lbs using Uship for $160 ($0.26 lb). Just have to check around.
