Taking Boards to my E-Waste Buyer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- Took in a good haul of motherboards, hard drives and other stuff to my buyer today to clear out 3-4 months of board accumulation.
Ended up having 548 kg's of motherboards, 686 kg hard drives and a good pile of mid grade boards that added up to quite a good earn, although I do buy motherboards so it's certainly not all profit.
Now to set up my space with cages and reduce how many times I need to handle commodities.
For those wondering:
106kg Laptops $159
55 Screens $55
79kg PSUs $35
686kg Hard Drives $1029
54kg High Grade $270
548kg Mobos $3630
223kg Mid $440
64kg Low $20
52kg Laptop Mobo $300

@@vale7716 you’re welcome
Awesome videos man. Watching your videos is my new hobby!
Good work. it is great to see a scrapper that is organized and neat. Wish I was one!
I like to be like that too! Oh ye I like to organize my scrap!!
That was a good haul Ben!. Not bad for a days labor,all from collecting what someone else thinks as trash.
You just sold enough to make some U.S. recycling companies jealous!
I'm talking about some of the ones that move 20 to 30 tons of steel per hour.
Because it's so new to them, most just have 2 grades of boards, low and high, that's it.
I won't sell, I depopulate everything!!!
This breaks my heart :(
Breaks your heart? I wanna cry.
It should break your heart how people throw things in the trash
it's Australia, not some poor country. People there don't bother with trash, it's headache.
You got the right attitude. If you do it for money its not allways worth it. But if you do it as a hobby anything you get is a bonus!! Keep on hoarding. Or as you say...Strategic Stockpiling!
RIP motherboards we enjoyed your company ;)
Nice vid. Loved some of that equipment at your buyer’s location!
another great video ben! what a stack....
Wow awesome video. Great job!
Nice one Ben.
pricing with your weights would be great, please give us an update!
Good work mate!👌👍
I wonder if the hard drives are so valuable cause people try to mine data from them for nefarious uses?
14:54 that motherchicken is watching out for your motherboards!, good chicken :D
hello my friend deposes me the name of this tool that you use to remove the connectors from the electronics boards
Nice.
I got just as exited looking at the e waste buyers place as you . I wouldlove to do what you do for a living
Ben the IBM tape drive units will blow your mind . look at some of the pics on my Instagram account. I picked up three units at almost 3000 lbs each payed $550 for all three plus plus $430 for trans made over $3200 in Scrap. $550 for the cables I sold to one of my customers. I still have very high grade boards in my collection.
What do you do about the hard drives possible having illegal info on them and them being in your possession. It has been something that has kept me from scrapping computers.
Jake Stewart E Waste Riisyling free pickup trailer Brinkley sage Murray bridge Thank you
remember those collapsing shopping carts you passed up cut the basket off put lip under your wheel less tubs and your moving is made easier old timer.
Does leaving all the motherboards and other stuff exposed to
the elements create a problem when selling. Cheers
cast alloy and aluminium are paying good money at the moment to been getting $1 80 a kilo
Ben if you ever get a broken black MacBook in, i'll buy it off you. I need parts to fix mine.
You have a perfectly developed job, buddy. I have tried something similar in Serbia, but there is no way to achieve this beside our laws :(
Ps - hdd plate have platin on isfelf - REALY!
Why doesn’t Ben ever heart comments or reply to any?
I do a little
Normally motherboard sells for 2 dollers each in india
Who is the buyer?
I live in Melbourne.
You need a nice trailer to maximize your loads in.
do Q&A
So how much was the fish? :)
That is good
Do the Hard Drives work?
In Sweden they only pay low grade price for any type of board or CPU, chips etc. It's just terrible!!
snoozinghipo Change it then.. start your own business and pay more for boards and give your competition a bad day ;)
Well it would be do-able but very tough. There is one main company that collects all electronic scrap and has most of the contracts to collect the scrap. It would need a big outlay including vans and scrap cages where people would deposit the waste, and a company official set-up to do. The other problem is volume as Sweden people don't understand about the value of electronic scrap so you would need to educate them also. Having said that I have been tempted to try :)
Hi snoozinghipo. how long have you been e-Waste recycling. we could help each other.
Danny.
I see he didn't responded.. or maybe other way! I am also a e waste recycler. I have been doing this for approx 3 years. How about you? (check out my channel and maybe get in touch)
nice Ben
Nice video ben, what does your buyer do with those laptops they had in their warehouse?
they will be shipped to a refiner
Wouldn't it be worth it to buy the laptops off them for scrap prices and then retail them out? They look to be pretty new.
"Pay some bills" haha
thats amazing all them laptops going to recycle prob nothing wrong with most of them. but software issues
Did you say you were backing off your recycling effort?
I've been servicing regular clients but have slowed down advertising for new customers.
I'm getting as much scrap as I want to handle so it's been good, but unless I got a factory and staff, I wouldn't be able to keep up as 4 years of going hard starts to creep up on the old back.
Yes - this can be a little hard on the body. You've done well setting up a good stream with regulars. All the best.
Hi Ben. I really like your not shy of work. but I thought you always depopulate all your boards. But I see all those chips "gold silver tantulum" and others still on your board which you are selling with them all on.
Danny.

I have dead laptop motherboard fr sale
The business seems so destructive, all about making some money, nothing compared to the money made using a brain to create and make the stuff being thrown away. If only their were some videos teaching how you could be more constructive with it, all that stuff was millions worth of technology and it will be turned into a few hundred quid for an individual.

You need to quit smoking mate you don't sound too good
