    It's time to sell Boards

    You computer IT sellers are still here . I need cash , One of my hold outs has been what I casually found in the last 6 or 7 years . I figure 500 pounds to 1000 really not sure but I have boxes of them & piles of them here and there . Wile I have no official count I have a room of computers still intact also . 486 & pent pros - yes -
    But most are what is typical for windows XP .
    Wile I know the boards of disk drives have value I tend to sell as copper bearing , Hard drives I just collect and have not sold as CB .

    I figure I'll goto new jersey or Long Island NY to sell it will be worth 200 mile drive.



    Any advice ? as when it comes to typical scrap , I have no concerns I wont get taken advantage of .
    I am not concerned if the market is down - What is the general price per pound ( possibly the highest ) & I'll work from that point .
    Wile scrap is .05 for mix
    short $179
    cars $125
    Copper $1.88
    AL .40
    From what I read not the lowest
    But same old story in the North East
    computer stuff pays at best .35 cents a pound . The best part is the yards here keep it in Gaylord boxes with a large marker statement " High Grade Boards "

    I did not save them for 7 years for a total crap price . I'd love to keep saving but I need cash .
    If I have 1000 pounds of said items is it realistic to get $2000 $3000 out of it .

    The final consideration I figure I have around 500 Plus Hard drives in also . I don't see dismantling them as the few I did seemed very time consuming .


    I am leaning towards Rockaway recycling
