    Learning in paying internal Escrap

    I usually just buy whole computers and parts and just bundle it. But been looking on craigslist and people are looking for ewaste buyers locally. I saw this ad on craigslist guy had 3lbs of ram and like 30 processers all together. I asked him what he was looking to get and he said his last lot went for $75 and it was a lower yield of gold. Give me some opinions please and thanks

    I'd roughly estimate the total value at 90-100. I guess it depends on how much you want to make and where you are selling it.

    Are they local to you? If not why not check out our buyers on the forum? Im sure you can get much better pricing and help support people on the forum!
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    I would suggest making a decision on which buyer you want to go with first. Weigh each item separately according to your buyer's categories. Offer around half price (depending on how much competition you have) of what your buyer pays for the whole batch. I never announce what I'm paying for each category, just the total price for the whole shebang. Then and again, I have a web site that clearly lists my prices for most items so they can come up with a ballpark figure on their own if they want to.
