Thanks Kalvin and Aaron p for the replies. I have been doing e-scrap for about 12 years now, so I am pretty experienced in that field. I've been doing non-ferrous metals for almost as long. Now, I am getting into actually collecting steel to cover fuel expenses, I needed a little more info on the best way to gather it. I always cut the wire off the computer PSUs and the plugs off the other end. I also noticed that e-waste prices went down a little. Motherboards seem to have been impacted the most, and I think the price of gold going down is to blame. Hopefully it'll go back up and we can start making good money again. I use several online auction sites and attend in-person auctions to get e-waste, but the area I live in isn't as active with those types of auctions as the area in Virginia in which I lived. Oh well. Can't win them all I guess.
