    That "mad" you're sensing is just the people who have been on this forum for years, and who have READ THIS FORUM for years rolling their eyes at yet another new visitor asking the same questions that have been covered numerous times in this forum. Then, when said new visitor wasn't not only spoon-fed the answers, but not spoon-fed the answers that he was already convinced that he was going to hear, he got mad.

    10 tons is hella weight. It's way more than I'll ever see unless & until I grow way more contacts. But it's likely that the people you're looking at dealing with wouldn't bother to sweep 10 tons off the floor if it fell. They run so much weight 10 tons ain't squat to them. You're a one-off guy who's already said you don't know how to sort boards... if you show up with 10 tons of ""motherboards"" and it turns out you've got everything from actual motherboards down to brown TV boards in your gaylords, then you're gonna be in for a very rude awakening when instead of a big 30% check, the refiner sends you a big 30% BILL for processing your load.



    I suggest you back up & read these forums. Learn to sort your boards. Find out exactly what it is you have, and sell it to someone who knows what they are doing and sends ten tons of properly sorted material regularly, to a refiner they've worked with before. THAT is where you'll make the best return on your money until you become the guy that can regularly ship ten tons of properly sorted material directly to a refiner.
    Ok, just got down off the cross, thanks for the suggestion.

    Good start... keep it going with the suggestions in the last paragraph and you'll do just fine.
