    Mabye contact seller if your close and ask if you can inspect the material....If not then probably a scam or a lot of low grade at the bottom

    That's about 2-3 hours from me, but I might point it out to ResourcefulRecycling because he's close.

    Something is not write with that picture. From my experience, a whole Gaylord packed full of boards is 600ish pounds. That Gaylord doesn't look 2/3 full to me. Wish I was closer to go inspect it.

    Something is funky here. Judging by the pictures, it looks like the item is at a scrap yard. I work in Ortonville and am not aware of any yards anywhere near there. Kind of odd that a scrap yard would sell on ebay.

    Looks like they have only been open for a month or so. I guess we have some new competition in the area.

    Up to around $1500ish now. If this really is telecom, it's a $2500ish box flipped to one of the buyers, potentially more if you took it to the refinery.

    Considering the description says "some are high grade", I think it would be a pretty safe bet to say that most are not.

    I might try to go have a look at it tomorrow if I have time. I don't know how I feel about people who type in all caps...

    Sold for $1680 so $3.27 a pound. Hard to say without looking at it if it was a good deal.
