Hi all
As i work for a computer maintenance company that also deal in e scrap, at the moment we sell the scrap to refiners etc, currently get between £4 to £5.50 per kg of pc mainboards, £9 or so per kg of pc memory, cpu's priced depending on what they are for example P4's £2.50 per kg, old ceramics £80 per kg.
It got me thinking if i was to offer my company the same prices to purchase the scrap for myself would there still be much profit to be had if i collected this and then went down the route of refining the scrap in large qty's?
