E-Waste Cash In Day $16,000 Payout

[@pyredynasty]

What's mind boggling is thinking about how much each of those components would have cost brand new.

[@crasythinghappens]

about 1 milj USD total

[@michaelcharach]

My guess would be over 5 Million USD

[@bethwilson8770]

I am blown away by how many he has!! Where do you find all of this stuff??

[@wnytrashtrucks]

@@bethwilson8770 years of work and buying from other scrappers.

[@memespeech]

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.

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

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 !!!!

[@Lawn_Care]

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.

[@barrdack]

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

[@saulsscrappersdelight8875]

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

[@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 😀

[@poosmate]

WOW! That was awesome!! Congratulations and well done on making that decision to sell. I am so pleased for you. Take care, Poo

[@barrywest3758]

Holy Moly Ben, I wasn't expecting this one. Now that was a totally awesome payday! Watch out Melbourne, Ben's going to be digging holes there getting his stockpiles out of the ground! Truly enjoyed and happy for you! 👍👍

[@71dembonesTV]

"How much RAM you got in your set up?" "'Bout 300 kilos, mate."

[@abdullahthecollector5462]

Nice one Bro. Keep it up I see you got plenty of plants, worth stocking up on seeds and mini propagators to help them sprout. Mini Water distillery for home too. When time comes people will fight & steal for food and clean water.

[@dr.a006]

You’ve definitely scrapped A LOT of eWaste! That’s impressive! Bullion definitely takes up less space, but practical items like you mentioned make sense too.

[@rockman531]

Congrat's Ben! Your prepper thinking is spot-on! One of these days the fertilizer is going to hit the fan! I already have a generator. Working on up-grading the tools. Keep adding to the pantry! Good on you! Stay well, Jim in Phoenix.

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

That's awesome! I sell on ebay amongst other things and I always say I am about the fast nickel and not the slow dime! Like you said you don't owe anyone an explanation. Great sale!

[@0ckyj]

Awesome video this puts a whole different light on scrapping, I love the scrap yard vids. We need more street scrapping videos. Keep up the good work.

From watching other scrappers I have seen prices getting smaller over scrap. I wish you luck in what you do. Love watching your videos. God Bless 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.

[@Red9GearHead]

Get to processing those high quality fingers Ben. AP is cake And it takes forever. Given the state of things as you’ve mentioned it’s a great time. Thanks for the update video brother! Keep safe and good on you turning some of that into cash.

[@zlatanmorrison8182]

You are correct, never know what the future might bring - cash in some of it and put your mind at rest:) good vid, great payday for a lot of work you have put in over time.

[@cadaver2012]

I just want to say, thank you for helping to quell the shortage of gold for computers for vehicles.

[@eagleeyes5638]

Greetings eWaste Ben. This is AWESOME/PRICELESS. I'm so happy for you. The treasures are out there, if one wants them, they have to go get them. Remember viewer's that everyone scraps their own way/reason and what works best for themselves/family. GOD BLESS you and all your endeavors. Stay humble and kind always. PLEASE be CAREFUL. Thank you for always taking the time of sharing,passing knowledge/blessings forward yippee. Be safe,healthy &blessed always family

[@DieterSoegemeier]

Good job Ben, well done. I hope to be where you are one day soon with my recycling business.

[@iks77]

oh my goodness, just imagine how much this RAM would have cost back in the days when it was the latest sh....

[@bearhardcorepicker]

Nice haul. You're right, need to move some of the stuff along, we get older, and before you know it, we can't do all the things we had planned. Life happens while we are making plans. BTW, Spotted a nice, valuable, Herman Miller designer office chair at 11:17...

[@shabba6789]

This was a very smart move. You don't want to end up like the hoarders house!

[@frankbanner5625]

I was just watching a video from August 2019. I enjoy the 2.5 hour marathon. The longer the better, thanks.

[@michaelmiller6013]

Paying storage to store scrap is counter productive

[@sheldonlatimer6688]

Ben the garage looks nice now that you are clearing out things you don't need

[@patprop74]

I agree with you fully Ben, When stockpiling has gone out of hand, to the point that it would take you decades to process, it's just best to sell them off and move one.

[@allen_thekid6670]

Thankyou for your videos. Trying to catch up on old videos lol. You are inspiring a lot of hard work and knowledge thankyou for doing what you do.

[@rastamanralph6670]

I've got loads of gaming consoles and early computers too along with all the other stuff I've hoarded over the years. I've also got over 3000 records that I love to listen to. It's music history and great to hear.

[@afineliner740]

A circular economy - Ben sells gold and silver, in one form; to buy gold and silver, in another form, namely bars. Holy moly Ben !!! 👍

[@mcwolfbeast]

And saving himself a few hundred hours of labour in the process :)

[@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.

[@supersmurf1612]

Hi Ben.i love your channel buddy.i have been watching you from 2017 full on and have not stopped.i look forward so much to "CASH IN DAYS" but(sorry) putting the amount in the thumbnail is a BIG spoiler.its all i wait for while watching your upload.even if its 40min long i wait for that one moment when you show us the paper with the amount kg and $$$.please do a Cash in day like that again withou the amout of $$$ in the thumbnail plz.sorry and cheers.hope you have a nice day.(not english so sorry for the spelling Ben.) Bye🍨👍

[@tillmansomethinrother8649]

Stock up on plenty of water. Yeah, fill the pantry. Check out a good solar power backup. Nothing wrong with being a prepper. Nice payday.

Nice Haul there. Lots of work but you did it and deserve that payday. No shame there. Hope it continues

Congratz on the sale there ben, thats an incredible number of CPU's It's a good time to cash in on things atm.

[@ralfhartmann5050]

Great job! I would be interested in the further recycling of the rams and cpus.

Grab me a Silver bar while your shopping hahahha. A nice 15kw gen set would be nice to store for future purpose M8. I'm on board with your decision! Keep Scrapping!

[@tvhistory3397]

Hard to watch those old RD-RAM and EDO-RAM being tossed away. Those are really sought after by vintage computer enthousiasts and as of 2021 almost 15 to 20 euro's a piece where I live.

[@OpenYourMind80]

true. very hard to watch. ive been fixing pcs for 22 years and never seen so many cpu and ram sticks being scrapped

[@jackmclane1826]

Did you see any EDO rams? I just spotted the occasional 3 pin group SDRAM... but the Bulk was pretty worthless DDR/DDR2. I'd have only kept the high rank variants of these.

I am PROUD of you Ben, it is like your children are leaving, consolidation is the KEY, now the storage and garage and turn your old van into an enclosed van, Save 1/2 in pure gold. FANTASTIC, I wondered where you were?

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

Where can go to scrap your ewaste like this in California . Do you know by chance ?

[@awldune]

Great to see all that plastic find a good home. Good to hear you are liquidating this by choice and not due to hardship.

[@mirecdiego5108]

I was expecting that, definitely you've reached level that no single person can handle in a reasonable time :) I'll be not surprised if you'll swap all the pinless CPU's (if you've not get rid of all of them :D :D :D) and also the rest of the RAM sticks for the money/gold/silver/whatever prepper stuff:) I'm hoping for two videos in the future : processing huge amount (100+kg) of gold fingers that you've stockpiled so we can see the nice result & maybe present your external storage as it should be huge :D

[@johngay1981]

Good video Ben. Good choice to cash in. Any videos of your garden area?

[@Defensive_Wounds]

Some of those old consoles could be worth more if sold to a collector than to use as scrap...

[@jeannielanham2956]

That's incredible! You have taken apart hundreds of computers!!! Awesome...

Very nice pay day amazing how that stuff adds up over the years. I set aside around 10% of the good stuff to stockpile for a rainy day. The rest keeps the cash flowing.

[@sleezye100]

The amount of work that goes into extracting the actual gold and using multiple different acids in order to do so is really meant for a hobbyist. You can’t do it on a regular basis and make money.

[@Barbarossa_F]

If you do it on a large scale there's absolutely profit.. it's only a waste of cash on a small scale.

what a great suprise, i was expecting a street scrap or a braking down vid. but watch this was just as exciting as all the other one's and what a change it was. i had to watch it three times, where did you get all that ram????.more of them in the future please.

[@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.

Well done Ben! No need to justify your decisions on selling or not - we are all different and have different reasons for doing what we do! Go and buy that blob of gold! 😁🤣👌

[@streetcopper1151]

100 % agree sir 👊🏻

[@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.

to see all that recycled and a BIG bit of pocket money is GREAT WORK!
