Looking for you ROGUE Refiners, gold and precious metal (silver/copper/platinum/palladium) recovery artists, sculptors and other artists (have lots of cool parts artists would love), robot builders and tinkerers, inventors (have lots of permanent mag DC motors! Wind power!), computer nuts and techies, etc. I have been selling on eBay and via mail for a few months and have come to resent/regret all the fees and extra running around. After gas/mailing costs/fees from eBay and Paypal...I end up making about half of what I should for all the work and for what I am selling. (SEE PICS--PLEASE NOTE THAT PICS REPRESENT ONLY A SMALL SAMPLING OF INVENTORY). Dumpsters are deadly in the middle of the summer...but I keep diving to rescue electronics and pc components from every dumpster I can. I have accumulated a fair amount of electronic waste that I would like to find local buyers for--(some for gold and precious metal recovery only, some vintage and rare, and a quite a nice collection of working components too). (SAMPLES IN PICS & price list below as well). I am a community oriented person who has lived in Tucson for over 15 years--have been teaching at the UofA and PCC for 4 years, and find tutoring and other work when I can, but I am determined to find local partners and to build working relationships with individuals, like me, who are working hard to create their own way. I am an honest, respectful, hard-working and up-front seller--no gimmicks or tricks--I've done my research and have spent the passed 5 months dismantling, researching and learning about e-waste. I also welcome advice and teaching from anyone who is generous enough to share it with me to help me learn even more. I recycle ALL that I can, which means even my plastics (most household electronics are made of ABS plastics which should NOT go in the recycle bin)--are taken once a month to the local non-profit organization RISE and donated for recycle (RISE is a subsidiary of COPE Community Services, Inc. (COPE), a 501(c)3 corporation that serves residents and faith-based community organizations throughout Pima County by creating employment opportunities through recycling. The RISE Equipment Recycling Center (ERC) provides Tucson, South Tucson, and Pima County residents with electronic equipment recycling services). Current Price list--(competitive with eBay and mail order e-waste seller prices) (The metals index fluctuates a great deal these days--as most e-waste buyers will already know, so the Price List is subject to change). Motherboards = $3 a pound Hard drives = $0.65 a pound Cd/floppy Drives = $0.25 a pound RAM Computer memory (Mixed) = $14 a pound Gold pin cord-ends = 1.25 a pound Computer CPUs = Range / from $7 to $25 a pound (ceramics & older higher / green board lower)--$7 lb. start Vintage and Rare CPUs will be priced separately IC Chips and Eproms = $10 a pound (Vintage and rare priced separately) Telecom / Serial port Main boards = 2.75 a pound AV & CRT or Other Low Grade boards = 1.00 a pound (low grade means component heavy circuit boards or boards with little precious metal recovery value) Power Supplies = 3$ (most Power Supplies I have are working) PC Fans / High Grade Printer Fans = ask/depends on fan MORE??? I also sell small transformers from working machines / have lots of good to excellent quality small DC motors / Steppers / Synchronous / An abundance of Switches & Micro-switches of every kind/ Transformer units with switches and power plugs / MANY potentiometers & spare buttons and rubber key pad sets/ special aluminum & plastic computer screws for layered mounts / plugs/special cords / robot parts like steel rods & gears of all sizes / good gear belts of all sizes and types / computer IDE and AWM wire/tape (almost every length size) / LCD display screens for indium/gold/silver recovery / have 4 nice Dunkermotoren DC motors like NEW / vintage IBM Personal System 2 motherboard and cards / Vintage TV parts / Vintage calculator parts & boards / Lots of PC keyboard Mylar for SILVER recovery, and many other unique electrical components (timers/thermostats/ceramic connectors/(ask)!! Ask for pics / specs of particular items you are looking for--you never know--I also make a list and keep my eye out (small finders fee!! I'm a good finder!) If I sell you boards or components for metals recovery--all items are sold as-is w/no returns. If I sell you a motor (or other part intended for working use) and it doesn't work--bring it back--money returned or we'll find you a comparable motor or part that does. If I sell you a lot of motherboards and any of them are viable and working (I don't always know), or some other part for metals recovery and it works...--bonus for you!! Thank you for reading this LONG listing. Reply to ad for questions / ask for Aidan Will also mail items if you pay full price + shipping and handling. Can send digital PayPal invoice.
