That's real good news for you. Especially for the large items of lower value, like power supplies and low grade boards.

Please let us know what they are paying and if anyone is taking them up on it.

Low grade $.10 same price as other yard I go to. They said they pay from $.10 to $2 and to just keep the low TV boards seperate and then they look at the rest to get prices... I allready keep all brown boards seperate and a box of green boards that there is not much on. Then a box of green boards that I think is Med. Mother Boards, gold fingered boards and Telecom in other boxes as I ship them out, but will see how much they are paying as shipping costs me from $.80 -$.85 a pound!!!!
