    Are they broken down to the boards or whole modems?

    When you do the math, it doesn't pay to take apart 11,000 lbs of plastic residential modems.
    We ship them out intact.
    We break down the commercial modems and DVR boxes, though.
    More to come...

    Spin,

    Scrap happy is right!! Did they come from a big communications outfit or something? Do they go to one of the buyers on our SMF boards? Overseas?



    Or is all this none of my buz?
    Anyway, nice score. I hope you made a sockful of money on it!!

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    I would have just used the space to put more E-Waste!

    Square dancing could be fun, though...

    Saw:
    Yes, they belong to a big telecom company
    There is more detail I'd like to share.... But that's not going to happen
    Yes, they are going to my preferred SMF buyer
    Where he sends them, I do not know, but, he is R2 rated and I trust him
    Sock full of money? Time will tell!
