How to Find Electronic Scrap to Refine?

[IntelligentEye]

Hi everyone,
I’ve started refining electronic scraps and have run out of things I already had on hand. Searching different places on the internet I’ve found loads of scrap for sale on ebay and what not but I’m not sure how to differentiate between a good and bad deal / how to estimate the value of a listing.

I’d appreciate if anyone could give me some pointers in that area.

Thanks!

Welcome to us.

Anything and everything on Ebay and these places will cost more than you can get out of it, unless you are very lucky.
And loads of it is pure scams.

Thanks for the welcome!

I wish I knew about the copy of Hokes book on here as I just finished reading a terribly scanned copy off the internet. As for the scrap, what sort of scams should I be looking out for? It looks like buying online isn’t really a viable strategy. Are there any alternative route you can recommend?

Ask companies around you if you may take or buy their scrap
