My wife and I are both in ill health, and I am trying to clean up our place (gonna be like climbing Everest at this point), and realized there is still ALOT of old "worthless" computer components in boxes from "back when". I know there are places that will buy the boards, chips, procs, etc but I have no idea who is reputable, and who isn't. Anybody sell components/scrap know of a reputable dealer? I don't want to rip the scrap down to gold, silver, solder, etc myself. I just want to pack it in boxes and ship it off, but man o man there are just tons of these places online and I'm kinda lost. I need a place that will deal in smaller lots as I don't have actual ton-age of the stuff, but I would say I've got fairly serious pound-age (seriously I wouldn't be surprised if JUST the boards etc weighed in at several hundred pounds by the end). The old metal cases will just go to the iron/steel/etc scrap buyer in town when next I am able to run in a load of aluminum cans. Anyway I hate to pay to just take it to the dump if I can even make enough off of it to pay for the next prescription, bottle of advil, etc. I've done minor salvage on the side in the past (steel, iron, brass, aluminum) and I know a little weight on some materials can wind up adding up to some lunch money. I'm hoping I can do the same here instead of paying to get rid of it.
In the end we are trying to purge and make our home a healthy living space again. But anytime I can make a little, or even just break even it helps. I know alot of folks around here know the feeling. I wish I could brag and say it's going to go to buying new guns and ammo, but it ain't.
Just curious, didn't know what section of the forum this might go under.
Thanks.
God Bless, and One Love.
