Be sure to read the pinned posts at the top of the forum sections, especially the How to Sell and the Before Shipping Us Anything posts.

If you've never done any scrapping be prepared to learn a lot. If you've done any kind of metal scrapping, still be prepared to learn a lot. A good topic to peruse on the different grades is here.

Also check out the linked pictures and videos in the payout page for examples.

If you're not sure what to do with certain boards after looking through all that or if you have any specific questions, just pop back in and ask. Do use the What is it? section to upload pictures of any stuff you need help with.

I would also watch a lot of videos on YouTube about this subject.Shark scrapper has several , and there are others on how to sell and sort boards.

Good luck!

Most of the e-scrap videos are posted by people who desire to smash the components, spend fortunes to recover minute amounts of precious metals and dump the profit down the drain. The only value in most of those videos is learning which components add value to a board. After the gold recovery amateur gets thru depopulating boards, they are sellable only at the lowest grade at Boardsort, and most local scrapyards will only give shred steel price. of a few cents per pound.

I Disagree, I watch several that don't depopulate boards, shark scrapper is a great person to watch to learn about it.Maybe you haven't watched it.I would suggest watching it so you can educate yourself more and know that not all videos are like that.They don't depopulate, they do it right.
