Scrapchat 85 11th February 2023: Ok, so I've been asked so many times for this video, I had to take the original video down, so this one doesn't show the refiners or the location but does show how the boards are graded and what they are worth, Enjoy! Benny update: unfortunately we are back in hospital, he has a serious infection and needs an operation as a result, we are waiting for a transfer in the next couple of days, but as ever he is being a little trooper and fighting really hard!

/ @sollersshortsmore9896 Sollers shorts & more channel for more about me and what I get up to!
If you are new here, I can't currently commit to a regular livestream due to my daughters complex needs so I do a regular weekly Wednesday night scrap chat premier as a way of chatting and keeping in touch with you guys whilst showing what I've been up to during the week.
I also am a bodycam girl, it isn't for everyone, if you get dizzy or seasick them bodycam isn't for you! I've tried a tripod on my bench but it just isn't practical, I don't have the space, hopefully when I get my bigger workshop next year I can set up a tripod and lose the bodycam, but for now I work with what I've got!
I'm fully licenced for my area and ask prior permission for items inside skips and so far nobody has ever said no, they want the extra space :) I still do quick dives to avoid passing comments, especially as I'm usually out in the evening.
Some lovely people have asked to send me the odd gift, to avoid us both extra fees (shipping for you and forwarding address fees for me) I have, like many finally set up an Amazon wish list. If there is something you would like to send that isn't on my list, then email me on the address on my about page and I'll add the product in if it's available on amazon UK. Any gifts to my forwarding address are of course still welcome and very much appreciated too!! You can email me on the address on my about page. Lots of resin moulds on my wish list too ;)
www.amazon.co....
Sometimes Amazon plays up and my address doesn't come up in other territories or with non amazon products. If this happens but you still want to get me something off of my list you can send me a friends and family PayPal and tell me what to purchase. You may have to work out the cost in other currencies. I'll do a video shout out when they arrive 🙂

Nice video. Informative. Will really need a supplier in order to shift that amount of boards in such a short time, like £1000 in a few days. You got lucky with a couple of schools. In time you can get a load by street scrapping though, maybe a year or two of saving the boards. Worth it in the long run as my scap yard loacal only pays steel price for them.

Good price for the colored small socket MB roughly $2.60/lbs equivalent. We're getting around $1.15/lbs. Always fun to see how different yards grade ewaste around the world. All in all, a nice ewaste run.

No I haven't actually, before I had a board buyer I used to cherry pick gold off of the best gold fingers and chips, I just build up those gold bits, but snipping the gold of the TV boards etc to sell is a great idea. I tend to leave the better fingers more often than not to get more for the boards! Thank you 🙂

Another one pays for motherboards 1.50/kg and anything else as scrap steel... Got 15-20 crates to sort out in my garage...

@SollersScrappingandDiving 8 ай бұрын
It depends on lots of factors and what the boards are from but computers, office ip phones and routers can be taken apart really quickly when you get into a rhythm. I'm a hobby scrapper but if I have a block of time I can do about 6-8 pcs an hour, it becomes much faster and easier if you can do a block of the same make as you get into a real rhythm👍. IP phones literally take a minute to dissemble for a tasty little board, they are so easy but there is a lot of plastic waste!
