[@fredygump5578]

Nobody's talking about this man's crazy stacking ability? The quantity of stuff packed in that van is impressive!

[@gothicangel6313]

I'm about as good as he is. 😁😁😁

[@thefrankbsshow]

@@gothicangel6313 I guess your 13

[@stirl]

Wow. I love how you really share pretty much ALL the details with us. After your last school pickup, I was wondering what kind of payouts you get for the laptops that are worth refurbishing. Now here we are.. You're a treasure to the e-waste community, thanks for all you do.

[@wayneday3916]

Ben I was impressed how fair the guy was you don't see people work together like this so many people don't care about others it was great seeing how you both were trying you're best to make sure both were treated fairly.

[@cuscrapping]

That was a great video, Ben! It was cool to see your buyer's operation. I really wish we had a refurbisher like that around here.

[@Fanta....]

I love seeing this ewaste being repurposed.Good on you guys both for keeping this stuff out of landfill.

[@the_mariocrafter]

Same. I wouldn’t recycle anything unless it is broken beyond repair or scrap.

[@greenfoam]

These I3 and I5 office machines often have 15khz capable GPUs in them and paired with a nice CRT you are half way towards a thousand dollar arcade cabinet running groovyarcade or batocera. Very useful machines and will be forever as arcade games are stuck in time.

[@commandtheline]

I'd love to have a job at a place like this. I love refurbishing computers! I have friends in the video game developer business. One thing for sure, if they say they have a load of hardware to 'unload', you drop everything and say you'll be there TODAY. Lol. I remember grabbing the largest Rubbermaid bin they probably make to go pick it up, might as well been a concrete wall block. I opened it to figure out why is was so impossibly movable... over 100 4TB WD black drives. The next bin was just over 30 GTX 970s... it went on and on. Soooo much fun.

[@rockman531]

Hey Ben, THANK YOU so much for taking us along! Absolutely fascinating!! Please thank your buyer for allowing you to share some of his business with us. Looking forward to seeing you take apart some of these goodies. Happy New Year to you!! You & your channel are awesome! Many thanks. Jim in Phoenix.

[@bigstackD]

Good work bro👍🏻😁🇦🇺🍻🍻 lovin the scrapping life👊🏻

[@josephonesta6416]

Really appreciate your ethics. Great business practice. If I were in the business, you'd be a choice vendor.

[@alan30189]

See if they can load the entire pallet, box all, into your van and just drive home, unload and bring the box and pallet back. I think that would save you a lot of time. Another option would be to give him containers you can pick up by hand, for him to fill with different parts, separating the parts as they go. What a great business though. I guess the company in Dubai takes these computers and sells them all across Africa and the Middle East.

[@allanpelton684]

You loading things into your van reminded of Collins Radio surplus of the 1960's. My father was an ham radio operator and built most of his own equipment. Some of the tubes are the size of complete transceivers now! Thank you for the video!

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Selling Pc's and Laptops and picking up another Load and many Cables - Thank You for taking us along - it was Brilliant to see also the other Side of E-Waste Processing as well ! Many Cheers from us in QLD !!!!

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

That was interesting Ben! Thanks for taking us along! 👍😊

[@keithluszczynski3200]

Great video as always. Leave a pair of side cutters in the van attached with a magnet, this way you always have them. Happy New Years, you have alot of work ahead of you.

[@katrinaharber2263]

This was great to see Ben. You often talk about your buyer, so to have a peek at what goes on with the two of you was interesting. All the best for the new year.

[@thadofalltrades]

It's astonishing how much of this stuff is out there

[@Wreck-Gar]

41:30 Ben just take the hint, the VCR likes it at that yard and doesn't want to go home with you 😄👍

[@JT-hf3yn]

I second this - this little VCR is like an animal trying to escape the slaughterhouse truck

[@nescrapper4023]

Thats amazzing prices for laptops

[@sccarguy8242]

Fascinating look into something I know nothing about, glad that at least a % of ewaste does not end up getting burned up on some beach in India somewhere.

[@shaneyork300]

You should try weighing the batch of circuit boards as it is (without taking off the steel and everything). Then weigh it after your done. Do this on 3 or 4 separate trips and get an average of the difference and in the future you might be able to just weigh it at first and then you'll know what your clean boards would end up weighing on average!

[@dalecrary8738]

Very nice video. I really enjoy all aspects of your business from puck up to the scrap yard. I have to live my scrapper life vicariously through your videos. Thanks. I hope your party went well. Have a prosperous year sir.

[@darrenc2721]

The market does seem to have fallen out somewhat for laptops. These days you can pick up a an i5 laptop in pretty good condition (fulling working) for like $150-200. PC desktops are slightly different, the market on those seems to have changed enormously. The biggest impact now for those things is the gpu. It has become the primary component of any pc over everything else. Not just because of Covid and supply shortages, also the bit/crypto mining market has swallowed up all the cards too. This year you could pay potentially upto $3000 for a high end gpu if you want serious gaming. It seems to be far cheaper to buy a gaming laptop now than a gaming pc spec wise. Bit crazy, as it use to be the other way round. These are just my observations and based on where I live in the uk. Second hand prices may also differ wildly depending on where you are based.

[@joan7823]

Hi all, I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas.. 🎄🎅🤶🎄....

[@davekellar9049]

Great to see it not being trashed.

[@williamwahlert8414]

he is doing more ITAD. ITAD is information technology asset disposition. on the refurbishing end.

[@scrappingadventures290]

Just awesome, every scrappers dream to get such a great payout 😃👍👍👍

[@wallywall4681]

Jeez, I would love to have access to all of these computers! No longer would I have to spend 120 bucks on eBay for crappy refurbished laptops

[@ThePentadecagon]

Man aussies are so damn chill makes me want to move there sometimes

[@turji]

What did i say mate, old computer stuff or computer stuff now is worth alott.. All old quality stuff is worth money now.

[@CanadianTreasureHunter]

I would weigh the van & give him low grade wire price for it all, If you factor labor at $15 to 20 hour that's why your getting that stuff from him, you got around 1000 kg of scrap metals

[@sharkscrapper]

I have got to find me one of these guys. He really knows his stuff and he pays well. Great operation he has there.

[@eWasteBen]

Having the right buyers makes all the difference. they will contact you if your advertising is noticeable in your state

[@sharkscrapper]

[@RoeMantic]

Awesome my friend! Be on the look out for a package From the Roe!

[@vaughndumas]

Oooh, I know of someone in Perth that would love those aluminium casings. He could do some really good melting there.

[@dalesmith147]

Great video Ben I appreciate that it's nice to see a different side of the business get to see what goes on and that was a hell of a load you brought back I'd be scrapping for a while keep up the videos Love everyone

[@aussiescraphunter7808]

This is maybe the best video l have seen from you mate, genuine recycling, re-purposing, re-using, excellent stuff, from my perspective as a scrapper starting out it shows what's possible, thank you, respects, Brian from the bush

[@tommyoconnor97]

Wow cant wait to watch the rest of this video.

[@t.dig.2040]

I am looking at jumping into the e-waste, I want to make my bread and butter the depopulated boards.

[@robp6331]

Awesome video Ben! I always wanted to see this side of what you do. I am at the beginning stages of scrapping but now I know what I need to do to make my scrapping better. Thank u

[@msylvain59]

I just sold my scrap aluminium at the absolute record price of 1,17 euros per kilo, used to be around 0,70 euro per kilo :-O

[@christophebertaux8989]

Thank you for sharing with us Ben and thanks to your buyer allowing the filming, great video. Message to my wife, get me an equivalent load and i'll leave you in peace for the next 3 months...

[@jonglewongle3438]

Far out. Bring in what they can process and then redistribute, and then take away a closely equivalent volume of their by-product. Instead of processing by oneself the stuff which they can process, you instead collect and process their by-product. Way to go.

[@johnlewis1443]

Wow, that is a good way to end the year. You will be busy for a while. Looking forward to more videos. Happy New Year, Ben.

[@afineliner740]

That was really good to see the other side of your pick ups. Nice pay day Ben. If I could have a van full of e-waste like that, I would be a very happy chappy. 👍

[@susanpiele3372]

I wish you could consider having another Marathon they're fun

[@brissyboy7164]

Awesome video it had a bit of everything , i had a very nice relax and watch really enjoyed it ........................... Thumbs Up

[@bramdriesen94]

You should check the rejected IBM thinkpad, might be worth some money to collectors

[@clixium]

Yeah, there's a big community of thinkpad lovers on reddit, bunch of people would still buy those old laptops even just for parts

[@wayneday3916]

I love seeing this kind of stuff I think what you took home would be insanely over whelming to me to process. What you do as a small guy ( lol ) is amazing.

[@MD4564]

Great behind the scenes Ben. Loving these videos. I think you need more coffee :D Also a bigger van lol.

[@Eddavids2]

Your the master at Tetris truck loading

[@safermonk]

respect. I dont know really what else to say when world is about of consuming and not recycling. Also this is interesting to watch.

[@vilaahmed]

A word of advice, don't throw-stack any equipment that is intended for reuse like it's a log. All those dells have HDDs in them that can get severely physically damaged, reduce computer value and require additional work for refurbisher to replace it. Wish I can get my hands on some of that equipment for reuse, but a small country has naturally low level of e-waste and high level of reuse.

[@JohnnySwedishScrapper]

woowo what good end of the year ;) thanks for 2021 videos see you again in new 2022 ;) regards from sweden

[@freedomfighter8958]

[@josearrasola7236]

hello sir , WOW that looked like the mother load ! That’s looks like what I have myself but the closes buyer is about 3 hour drive ! The prices are good now but I’m trying to push me self to get some more and I can rent a loader truck and take all in one load I was just checking my ram stick the day after Christmas and weight out everything and I had 197 lbs of 8gb stick 205of the smaller size 4-2 gb but that’s just on ram stick alone and most of mother boards are i5 and higher and higher grade boards ! I’ll send you pictures soon their no recording on site ! But I do my best to keep everything secured ! Great video in the long run it all pays off sometimes we have to wait for the right time prices go up and they go down !

[@robertbedard2962]

it's time consumming yes but you'll still get value out of that van full so it's a win win on your part and your buyers part,now you need to do a marathon scrap session for us!!!!!

[@jancarlorubio910]

hi Ben or anyone that could help out a scrapper. i have my own business in a large rural town in NSW called wagga wagga and i was wondering where on earth i could sell my pcs and laptops to someone like this gentleman in the video? i also have things like magnatrons from microwaves etc. all my local scrap yards here pretty much only take it for nothing or only when its completely scrapped out (into boards etc). TIA. ps BEN i love all your videos!

[@jamespn]

Really like the orange Holden Ute.

[@paul-bp3no]

The must be a better way to load and unload something like a box truck with a tail lift

[@williamjohnson2105]

I'm surprised you don't stack the silver mylars from keyboards. But yes, there is a lot of plastic waste, and only a small scrap of board inside besides that.

[@goldmagnet]

WOW that's a load hahaha, the van would have been squatting pretty good I reckon lol.

Absolutely fantastic 👏 👌 It has taken me three sittings to get to watch this over Christmas but what a fantastic video and payout, great to go along to your buyer and wowzers, what a lovely load of boards too (but my hands were hurting for you moving them all with no gloves 😉🙈) Awesome video Ben!!!

Would like to say, this is excellent and very interesting the prices you are getting for all your surplus tech stuff, that has not been tested, to if they work. As i do this type of thing for my local men's shed in the UK, i think i am repairing them and selling them too cheaply. your friend is giving you prices, for how they, how does he know how he will get for them. Thanks for helping me.

[@theresefreeland3762]

I think the next time you go to your buyer you might want to get a trailer.

[@TheRainHarvester]

Where the Heck are places giving away laptops/tablets etc?!

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Schools, businesses, etc. Of coiurse, you have to source them out on your own because Ben is in Melbourne,, Australia and he can't, of course, give you his local sources and he can't, of course, give you a list of places near your house if you live hundreds/thousands of miles away.

[@evelynebabillon2219]

great that it can be reused but not simply thrown away, at the same time a good deal for ecology and the protection of nature and the environment because in certain countries it ends up in circuits that are not followed, where it comes from really and how this computer waste is processed when it is not possible for reasons of age to be reconditioned or when we do not want it to be reused by the donors of this material

[@RepairmanJack91]

I love your short videos

[@jonglewongle3438]

I think that you would find that operations like what Ben takes his PCs and laptops and i-pads to, like in this video, have Federal Government subsidy, as some sort of environmental initiative. As you say, labor is expensive. And Ben would most likely not want people bungling around with his boards, because he has an art to what he specifically wants plucked from his boards and what is to be left on the boards relative to board values. He has a balance between precious metal recovery and board values.

[@scrapwomblecreatives6944]

Honestly this feels a lot like making sure that nobody can get a good deal on things like this. If you aren't willing to shell out heck of money then you can't play. I am on quite a few bid sites and items bid for within 90% of their regular value, which makes it kind of ridiculous to even participate.
