Good day all,

I'm new to this forum, and fairly new to the E-scrapping community. As this site is relatively foreign to me, I want to make that I am understanding it all correctly.
Let us say I have 60 IBM X3550 M5 Dual CPU Server Motherboards(roughly 480lbs), which I believe to be classed under "Metal multi socket server motherboards" here (Please correct me if I am wrong). It is to my understanding that if I sorted and shipped these all in according to Boardsort's requirements, at their current price of $5.35/lb I would receive $2,568. Would this be correct?

Thank-you for your time.

Correct.

Minus any costs you incur in shipping or driving the material to Boardsort

Also, don't forget your packaging material costs. 60 boards is going to be quite heavy so check with Pirate Ship if you plan on shipping them.

Also, for the shipping address use the store location you ship from. You can select your address as the return address but if you drop them at a store use that address for shipping cost.

I made the mistake of using my home address and shipping was significantly higher vs if I used the UPS store's address.

Depends on location: if you and your drop location are in different zones or regions depending on shipper than it could save you cash
