I’ve watched 95% of ewaste bens content and absolutely love every minute of it, especially with the amount of knowledge he imparts on his viewers, the desire to educate others is truly a gift. But having watched only a half dozen of your videos I instantly felt much more relatable with you being in the states and having alot of similar e-waste to what I see day to day in New England. (Although we lack the infrastructure to sell anything locally) Thanks shark.

Yeah if throw a rock at it with it on the back, the glass will fall in as the pressure inside the tube is much lower than S.E.A. Pressures and it's called an implosion because it's the opposite direction of force compared to an explosion.

Just thinking, in the last three years I estimate I've scrapped out probably around 300 crt tvs, my biggest score came from picking up 3 from a couple of, uh, ladies. They asked if I took monitors, their company has gone under. I took my 3 crt tv's home and met them back at their business, smiled all the way back home, 27 crt monitors and 3 printers. The one printer I couldn't get was one that printed blue prints, about 5 feet long and weighed around 300 lbs, that thing was loaded from one end to the other with high grade boards. There's a vid out there showing how crts are recycled in OZ. It shows how to release the vacuum in the tube safely. I've had two that imploded, not fun, and your correct about the tube being weak where the yoke is. Thanks and be safe
@sharkscrapper4 жыл бұрын
27 CRT monitors!? That's awesome. My biggest single score was around 15 from an old computer store. Those large format printers can be a good score if you can manage them. I got a call to pick one up and had to partially scrap it behind the building to get it in the vehicle I had at the time.

When my yard sees a capacitor of any type, the board is automatically a low grade board. They call it towers. The only boards I take to the yard are low grade, I learned my lesson on that. CRT monitors have more copper that CRT TVs. Sometimes they have a second degaussing cable, but usually the yoke has more copper straps.
@sharkscrapper2 жыл бұрын
Interesting about the "towers". Kind of a harsh criteria. My local yard only has three grades: high (green motherboards), low (brown brittle boards), Mid (everything else). It makes it easier to train their staff. They used to have a dedicated ewaste buyer and I could negotiate better pricing but he was relocated and they haven't filled the position yet. Very frustrating. Not seeing many CRT's these days.

Well, if the scrapyard has said they don't want monitors and you're hiding them in other scrap - that's not legit. Yes, there's some steel in some of them, but not much by weight. As for your yard loading cars with trash and then crushing them - that's on them and I'd not be surprised if they aren't losing money from charge backs when their buyer catches on.

Would have loved to have that old Trinitron CRT before you scrapped it. :( I've been doing e-waste for several years and have met a lot of people in the business who got into it with no real background in computers or electronics, and I wish I had a dime for every time I had rolled up just a few minutes too late to save someone from shredding/stripping/crushing literal thousands of dollars worth of stuff that was either working or repairable and still relevant for some reason or another. Just because it's old, doesn't mean it's useless. People are STILL paying anywhere from $250-400 for that model of monitor on eBay and other marketplaces, because it's one of the best displays available for guys who collect and restore vintage computers (yes, it's a thing) and people who are into old-school video game consoles. And the number of still-relevant graphics cards I've come across bits and pieces of among both the scrap that I purchase and the remains strewn around the shops of guys who let me cherry pick stuff sometimes, just blows my mind. Not to be a hater or anything, I enjoy your channel, I was just heartbroken watching you break apart that Trinitron as they are quickly becoming unobtanium!
@sharkscrapper2 жыл бұрын
No worries - I appreciate the feedback. I honestly do because there's so much knowledge out there and I'm learning all the time from comments such as these. Please don't take this wrong, but here's my challenge. I do try to sell vintage electronics on my eBay store and may add them to my website as well. Some have sold quickly and for good money. But most just sit there. So how long do I keep inventory and what should even be held in the first place? I'm not suggesting you have these answers for me, just sharing some of my challenges as a creator of YT videos and a seller of ewaste material. Layer in the time needed to research items, photograph and list them. Just not enough hours in the day to do it all. I'll keep working to improve how I handle vintage material and I'll save Trinitrons for you when I find more of them.
@threadreaper2 жыл бұрын
@@sharkscrapper Hey, no worries, I know it can be a bit overwhelming and one can't be an expert in everything. Honestly I was probably coming off a bit more abrasive than I intended. Where I live we never see those things, and having attempted a couple of times to get them shipped here from other places has always just resulted in them being smashed to bits by the shipping companies. I have managed to acquire all the Trinitrons I wanted apart from the the PVM (professional video monitor) and pc monitor types. When I come across them now, or anything else that has a following for whatever reason, what I do to move it is just to list it on various platforms that I sell stuff through, and when pricing it, I consider my investment, which for most of this stuff is around 20 cents a pound I pay people. So if it's a $300ish item on a collector's market, I list it for maybe a week at that price and if it's still here, I slash it in half, the following week, half again. Anything over that 20 cents a pound is profit and if it's taking up space it's more of a problem than it's worth, I agree. I do have another strategy that I employ once in awhile which can, in a manner of speaking at least, extract the full "retail" value of these things with minimal effort and almost no time cost, but I'm not going to post it here, you can DM me if you want. Thanks for engaging, It's always cool when a content creator replies to some random diatribe I leave behind on one of their videos! Keep up the good work, but if you're so inclined, seriously do him me up about those Trinitron monitors, and I'd be happy to provide you with a list of other stuff that I almost always am buying!
