E-Waste Cash In Day $16,000 Payout

about 1 milj USD total

what's more mind boggling is thinking that he had to manually find on the side of the road every PC, pick it up and deliver home, then scrap it out for 2 sticks on average; maybe sometimes getting bulk old PC drops from organizations too.

I am not a scrapper but I am happy to see it out of landfills, thank you for doing this.

The Eyes from the Boys in the Recycling Place popped out when they saw all Your Card and Boards - wow and wow again ! The Chooks looked happy feeding and Yes You got soooooo much more Stuff in Storage ! Cashing in is sometimes need if the Price offered is to good to refuse - Brilliant Payday - well done indeed ! Hyper Inflation in Germany Started around 1921 and was at its Peek in 1923 - 1 Million Mark could not even buy You a Loaf of Bread ! This was another Fascinating Video - we loved it and many Cheers from us in QLD !!!!

Whoever said there's no money in RAM? :) Nice going! And congrats on the silver award too. You deserve it. Everyone mentions you and what they learn from you. We all do. I've been a viewer for a few years.

Ben, people don't realize how much work was involved in processing all that ram and CPUs. I think you are a smart man for cashing in. You never know what tomorrow will bring.

[@thomasross4389]

I 100 percent with you

[@davidhauschild5584]

Just sold 554 lbs of Ram at $24.25 lb $13,500 plus 177 lbs HD boards at $14.50 $2600 And 222 lbs painless $5 lb $1100 and the big one 1870 super High grade backplane Cisco at $9.05 lb $ 17,000 over 34 thousand. I cashed in for the same reason Ben . Worlds gone to Hell. Finishing the cash in next week selling the telecom ,server ,power, desk top, stripping wire , then cleaning out aluminum. Copper. bass . Keeping my ceramics. Gold pin and ends. Going off grid to.

[@stanleygallman7800]

E-Waste, Ben really you should be so excited and proud of what you accomplished. I'm not sure if there's a scrapper alive that can say that they have always received the absolute very best value for any of the items that they've collected. I really like your setup and I am almost sure that your overhead is not that much. The fact that you have the planning ability which allows you to take a scrap load at any given time and recoup such a large payday. I say that I tip my humble hat to you guy! Congratulations 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 for showing how planning, collecting and processing can really pay off when being a full time scrapper. I'm truly hoping that Mike the Scavenger is also a subscriber of your channel, he's a scrapper here in America and l believe that the guy really has the potential of even more successful, again I say Congratulations 👏 to you eWaste Ben. Amazing! Amazing! Amazing 😀

[@Alondro77]

I recently perfected a method of burning IC chips with just a simple wood fire that burns so hot and clean, you don't even smell plastic burning. I just have it elevated a foot above the wood on a steel mesh, and coat the IC with a layer of paraffin with a touch of xylenes dissolved into it. The IC chips burn so completely, most turn to fragile ash, and I need to put a sheet of metal beneath it after the fire burns out to make sure I don't drop important bits into the wood ashes.

[@escrapchannel]

I think all the hate is losers wanting to do something independent like he does. For whatever reason they can’t or won’t so they just hate hate hate. I just read one loser criticizing how he was unloading the chips from his van. It’s really pathetic. Then there are less angry losers that ask his for stuff. He gets the most of these messages from what I’ve seen. So weird ! Who gets on KZbin and feels like they should beg for things from someone who is working, recording the work and educating them for free? This particular comment section is extra angry, probably due to him making a fat wad of cash in a day. I don’t get it. Good for him, if you’re jealous get off your ass and go earn some too.

[@stephenasmith273]

Old comment but it’s jealousy/people who don’t fully understand what he’s doing. I’ve been acquiring the right equipment to do a full scrap project to see how much pure gold I can smelt into a bar from these parts and honestly if the math and price is right it can be pretty profitable.

[@Manhandle730]

@@stephenasmith273 nice man! Good luck!! Ben here makes a living from it. His videos are a great resource for all kinds of ways to keep cash flowing with scrapping. I’ve made some decent extra cash by melting down copper and brass into ingots then selling them on eBay. Plus just scrapping more efficiently and how to make more from your scrap.

[@jonnaughton]

With regard to hyperinflation, the first thing I’d make sure you do (over gold and silver) is to make sure you have enough money to cover your mortgage (assuming you have one) and any other debts you have. If you have no debt, then no one will be able to foreclose. Then I’d look to stacking food (at least two or three months worth of staples at the very least). Then, once you have that done, all the scrap you have accumulated will serve you well (plus any gold and silver you grab too) as commodity prices will [should] increase in line with inflation as well.

[@Grizzydan]

100% There is never a bad time to accumulate scrap. The faster a person can own everything they have the better off they will be in life. Saving money is the best way to make money. Renting/leasing is modern day slavery.

[@rastamanralph6670]

I think it's Venezuela where it costs over $150 for a loaf of bread. What I'm doing is stocking up on flour and yeast to make my own bread and a distillery to make pure water from stream or rainwater. Also tins of food and pasta even though I've got loads of chucks and ducks for eggs and meat. I've recently been growing veg also because the future doesn't look too promising with buying from shops.

[@Kerplakistandan]

That unit in the blue bin at 16:46 is probably a Macintosh LC III, which is worth over $100 USD even if it's broken. You should look into what some units could be worth as a whole.

[@Argophobiac]

That’s the problem… everything looks like scrap to a scrapper. If you get too focused on throwing everything into bins, you’ll miss out on big money selling rare parts as-is/non-working to collectors. There is such a huge marketplace online now that it’s incredibly easy to find customers.

There's not. It's gold scrap worth is about twice what they pay and then you must take into account the expensive machinery if you grind it to powder, or chemicals if you do it that way. I know a someone with such a machine and I sell to him. Machine costs about £200,000.

[@AndyGraceMedia]

​@@snoozinghipo Not required to grind into power especially with the CPUs but it does however require stainless or plastic vats, a serious filtering solution, a lot of room, a decent sized furnace and a huge supply of nitric and hydrochloric acid. Should be between a twentieth and a tenth of a gram of gold in each LGA cpu plus some PGMs, but the biggest problem is what do you do with all that excess nitrogen dioxide when dissolving the precious and base metals? You can't just dump it into the atmosphere, so you need a scrubber/bubbler to recycle NOx into nitric. I don't think any council would agree that 100kg++ of CPUs is a home/hobbyist operation, so you'll be subject to all the environmental and safety laws any businesses has to deal with. Still, assuming 40 CPUs per kilo, that's 2, maybe 2.5 grams of Au/kg. Scale that up to 250g per 100kg. About AUD $25,000.
