Buying E Waste Pricing Boards

Buying e-waste for gold recovery can be rewarding but all buyers need to find a commercial buyer to offload boards that have low value for backyard refining, like pc motherboards and peripheral boards.
My prices are based on what I can sell boards for here in Australia but should not be used if your in any other country, you need to find out your local prices.
Check out my recommended safety products, Furnaces & stuff on amazon.. www.amazon.com/shop/ewasteben
For gold recovery buyers, go for above market price for the good stuff, ram, slot cards, high grade boards etc.
and go much lower for pc motherboards, peripheral boards if you can't on-sell them.
Remember, ic chips and ceramic cpu's generally have a higher value sold as a collectible so always look up part numbers.

Very informative video, Ben. Thank you. I've been Escrapping for over 8 years now and have never seen a more informative video explaining to the new scrappers out there how to price, buy, and sell their scrap.

[@karllowry488]

I hate ppl who tell you tubers how they should do there videos just keep doing what you do Ben it works .

[@waynejohnson9889]

eWaste Ben does do some good videos full of valuable information. I wanna be his apprentice but I'm in the UK. But he has great fun, and gets some good finds. Well done and Thanks Ben

[@badsantaclaus4522]

Thanks for the Great information. Learn a lot need to watch again

[@gateke1]

thanx for info , knowing a little more every day, you are a good and inspiring teacher for all of us ;)

[@mike99deanmike76]

Best video ever!And honest! Keep going with videos Ben

[@shaneyork300]

Time to watch again to write down the prices of every individual board that was covered. (and take notes, and why they're that price. Thank You BEN!) That way I can explain why my prices are like they are. During the video I already called the 3 local scrappers that I know to tell them I'm buying. I already stack silver every month why not some good ewaste. I think you single handedly started a few dozen companies from ONE video! Great video Ben!!!!

[@benny5190]

excellent video i cant believe how much those gold capped cpus are, i have a ice cream tub 3 quarters full of them iv been doing some research on my buyers here in london im planning on being the middle man in the board buying trade here im just thinking of ways to store them my buyer will collect if over 500kg which is handy i got a new contact today from a I.T company that goes around upgrading systems in offices in the city center they saying have loads of e waste they need taking away fingers crossed it could be a great contract

[@timvivoda5208]

great information.great video .really enjoyed it .

[@vincentshelpfulhints4085]

wow there is a ton of information .. you really need to know all of this when buying and selling .. Thank you .. The problem is here in the U.S you need to find a buyer that is honest there are so many people that scam people even some scrap yards will low ball you even on copper

[@edwardhughes352]

Excellent info. cheers Ben

[@wjp6480]

Great job Ben. WOW that was a long one. Great information. I enjoy your videos. Not many buyers would pass on this information. Most buyers I deal with wont take the time to explain the variations of all the board grading. They just tell me that's the price, love it or leave it. Keep up the great work. cheers.

Awesome video, thanks Ben!

[@judybeckner5623]

Thanks for sharing Ben

[@TheEScrapMan]

Super informative video! 👍Good job, keep going!

[@TheEScrapMan]

Talk about rude! :D

[@simplifygardening]

Great video Ben, Loved it and sat through all 1hr and 6 mins of it. I have never bought here in the UK. wondering if there is a market here but worth a look. Cheers

[@bantalee2002]

Had to watch it again Ben.

[@shaneyork300]

GreatScott I watched it twice the first time too, over a year ago. I'm watching again. I'm glad I am because I'm learning things that didn't pertain to what I was doing last year. But now it's going to help me, especially at this stage of my scrapping adventure!!!

[@ernestpetzrick7741]

LOL about writing a script. That just wouldn't be you. Your vids are great because of their genuineness. Thanks.

[@shaneyork300]

Ernest Petzrick That is also my opinion! I believe Ben has the most loyal fans I've seen. When I first started getting into this I looked through almost all of the KZbin Channels. Moose, Mike, and many more. They all had scripts and they all seemed to ask/beg for subs, likes, and shares! The only time ben has even mentioned those words was when he was doing his KZbin Channel Year in Review and his 10,000 sub give away. As a huge fan myself, I appreciate your comments. I see them a lot!

[@RafalScrapper]

that was help full. thanks

[@jackpotdigger834]

thanks for all that knowledge

[@ephraimt1]

Yeeewwwwww!!!!!

[@Beniwan]

He's almost at 15k subs!

[@morpheus6330]

Wow an one hour video nice

[@kelseywigg7908]

Hey Ben, great clip very informative...been trying to work out what to do with all the boards accumulating in my shed considering we have no board buyers in this island state...looks like depopulating and posting is my only option. Out of curiosity what would I expect to get for the gold fingers per kg?

[@mariaironui8347]

awesome vid just wondering if you can do a vid on your processes of gold recovery and would purchase from NZ e-scrap was shipped to you?

[@ewastesolutionssonny1889]

excellent video can't thank you enough for the time spent explaining this video I have an opportunity to dig threw my local recyclers yard to actually buy boards for gold recovery at 4.75 pound they don't classify as thural as you they have high grade and low grade and the box for drives any tips beside watching the video over and over (plan to do anyway) can you offer your opinion on what I should look for as a back yard gold seeker recover to maximize my profit as I have been destroyed paying over priced ebay e waste ....your subscriber sonny from Colorado.....

[@eWasteBen]

look to get your e-waste for free and buy off other scrappers, 4.75lb is for high grade telecom, any other boards would not be worth buying at that price, go by boardsort.com prices

[@ewastesolutionssonny1889]

not sure where to look for free e waste out this way but will try thanks again

[@yuliavolkovaolegovna2059]

eWaste Ben what is yours a dress is have chips to sell you

[@stewyoder1806]

E Waste solutions Sonny

[@bantalee2002]

Hi Ben: You did a great job putting everything to order on this video. I will use this Video among others as reference. Thanks man. Id like to know how the weather was for the last year for you. Were you in that Cyclone?

[@eWasteBen]

weather has been good, cyclones mostly happen up north in the tropical areas

[@bantalee2002]

Good for you. When i seen the cyclone coming in off the coast of Australia, the first thing that came to mind was were you were at in the mess. Glad you were way south of it. That truckload of boards must have surprised you,i would have been ecstatic,nice haul.

[@johnhull6363]

Don't write scripts.... I like how you come off the cuff... it's more detail oriented

[@weevil_bob]

I like watching you videos but it makes me sad seeing all those motherboards being through around. keep up the good work.

[@christopherraines3202]

Love your channel Ben! I am in the process of starting an pcb processing business and trying to find a commercial supplier for low-grade to high-grade boards. I wanted to ask you if you know of any good B2B databases for suppliers or any decent resources? Cheers :)

[@donjuandelospirineosgoldre2067]

hola job esos valores son referidos al valor que tu compras el material o al valor que deben venderse gracias por tu respuesta

[@dlovett1771]

Quick question. Why not start saving all the copper ferrite cores you find. They can cut in half and the copper easily removed.

[@carpentryfirst3048]

So you recommend not taking the aluminum heat sinks and copper off of boards no matter the grade?

[@marcusmckenzie9528]

i wish i could get paid a reasonable hourly rate to process ewaste. id do that allllllll day long... would be a change from hospital orderly work!

[@stuartkilgour2160]

Does the cpu need to be on the motherboard for it to be still classed as a high grade board?

[@ranggafirmansah7424]

i am buying motherboards slots AGP (Intel or AMD) that and add RAM 1 GB DDR and add one again video card (Graphic cards) ATI RADEON 512 MB with AGP slot. when,how much it costs ?

[@ahmedsleem9386]

do you have a price list you buy with? I I am starting scrapping and would like to start selling boards.

[@corystreat8037]

Hello my Aussy friend, have you ever considered selling your boards online/eBay for steam punk artist???

[@sialkotimalikpigeon4422]

Contact with me I have to much material

[@davidedmunds1858]

what are the mother boards made from.

[@xdebugxDotNet]

Ben, are you refining or recovering any of your high value gold items yet? Do you plan to do it yourself? I'm a bit scared to handle the acids and such to refine myself. Do you know of any other ways to do it or any types of companies that will refine for you?

[@eWasteBen]

there are toll refiners around if you can find one, otherwise it's large companies but they want larger volumes. no I haven't started refining yet but will do it when I slow down with scrapping, just keep stacking the good stuff and wait for gold to jump up a lot, then you can just sell it if you don't want to do it yourself

[@derekjean6646]

eWaste Ben I was I have a very shinny disk that came out of a sealed case that was inside of the computer. I was wondering if u might b able to tell me what that disk is. it doesn't seem to b plastic & it's not glass, it's some sort of metal, I drilled a small hole through it to see if it's just coated & it seems to go all the way through. let me know if u know what I'm talking about. I'd take a picture but can't figure out how to attach it on here.

[@xdebugxDotNet]

I think your talking about a hard drive platter. They are usually coated with platinum, but it's a very thin (microns) coating. They are not worth very much unless you have a lot, I've seen some places that buy them though.

[@mainchef5240]

can u update the prices i know gold are all time high right now

[@mircobiguzzi1084]

By saying "dollars" you mean the American one or the value is in Australian Dollar which was converted into American dollars value?

[@Beniwan]

How come you don't sell the desktop CPUs as they are instead of per kilo? You could earn so much more.

[@wencylacasa69]

thats nice motherboard in philipines i cant find cheap

[@TheEScrapMan]

Talk with those in your area about what you do. Make business cards, advertise yourself, and you are sure to get some business at least.

[@nickfoster3292]

Who is a good company to sell to in the US? i can't find any in the kansas city area.

[@droopdroop8600]

Nick Foster Try NARelectronics, might be one around your area or close by!

[@nsstzgroupproduction8668]

is this pricing are in Australian dollar or US dollar please answer this because currency made a diffarance.

[@eWasteBen]

Australian

[@nsstzgroupproduction8668]

thanks for your reply

[@davidedmunds1858]

Is the mother board covered with copper both side of the Fiberglas.

[@eWasteBen]

yes usually it is

[@davidedmunds1858]

What state you live? Also do you know many e waits in Wollongong area? Thanks for your reply

[@helderfreitas6760]

Hello Ben, can you please tell me how much gold can we recover in 1 kg of cpu? thank you

[@TheEScrapMan]

Helder Freitas What kind?

[@helderfreitas6760]

The E- Scrap Man the green fiber that you show on 55:52

[@TheEScrapMan]

Helder Freitas I couldn't find any data on these CPUs. The reason for this is the recovery rate is terribly low. The pins aren't thickly plated, and there is an incredibly small amount of extremely thin gold plating present, with no hidden gold to be found anywhere. What you see is what you get. My advice would be to sell them somewhere else, and save up money to get ceramics. They will be more worth your time. I hope this helps.

[@helderfreitas6760]

The E- Scrap Man ok Ben. thank you very much for your time and information.

[@chethanchethan4110]

i need pcb boards can u supply

[@corystreat8037]

After you stripped off all of your goodies you can still sell them in small lots to steam punk artists I'm sure! I have seen them use them in many creative projects(do you like melting them informing them around mannequin bodies

[@karllowry488]

I was been really nosey and wanted to know what the guy got paid lol

[@shaikjamaluddinnazeema8600]

👍🏾👍🏾👌👏👏💐

[@manojroy657]

People even buy it for reparing faulty products

[@niculanicolaeofficial9114]

I will pay 40 dolars more for any ceramic procesor if you want to sell them, motorolla, ibm, cyryx, 386-686, amd k5, ,except intel pentium pro and simple amd ceramic like duron.

[@ajiprama888]

..... 👍👍👍👍👍...

[@bandixd535]

1 piece of pentium PRO 12,5 AUD here, i wonder: How many gramm is one piece? I never saw one in my life it is like a mith they are real

[@MH-hj2jk]

The big ceramic pen pro sadly will only give you 0.3g look up sreetips on you tube he is a pro gold refiner .

[@MrSXCAY]

Hi ben, I live in Sydney and I'm hoping you do to I have a bunch of stuff I want to sell you please get back to me as soon as you can cheers bud 👍

[@davidedmunds1858]

did you get a reply. Im in Wollongong. Its all new to me but like to learn. Trying to find who is a buyer in the ewaste.

[@VincentFunk]

As a vintage PC collector, your breaking my heart! Shame on you!

[@wencylacasa69]

hello second here

[@wencylacasa69]

big balls = small brain + small common sense + small logic heheheh im FUCKING programmer hahahah

[@TheEScrapMan]

Woah, man. Chill. Don't get triggered. It's not worth it.

[@TheEScrapMan]

Big Balls No, it's not that. All I am doing is trying to help out the OP of the comment. Sure, I can't stand people who say "first xD", but I don't get enraged when somebody posts something like that. I simply ignore it and move on with it, realizing it's just part of the internet, a meme or trend. I did pay attention to it this time because I noticed somebody getting unnecessarily angry about the comment. I hope this clears up some misconceptions. if you don't like what I am saying, simply block and ignore me, simple. You don't need to keep replying to me over and over again. it will just make you more angry each time.

[@TheEScrapMan]

Big Balls Thanks for the offer! I will, but I must practice here first. You're so sweet :)

[@TheEScrapMan]

Big Balls I may have half a brain, but at least I have a heart. Think about it.

[@stevetevedvbs]

First view first like first comment

Ok man guess you have lots of free time to care at all really

Big Balls Wow, you do have big balls xD. I am a clown, so I am funny, right?.... right???

[@DrSiB0T]

Kyle, Just get two bricks and smash them together. That's how you get rid of Big Balls! Your entitled to comment as you see fit. I see nothing wrong with your comment. Study hard.
