Hi, my name is James and I love scrapping metal for money. I scrap it all, copper, brass, aluminum etc...
Come join me on my scrapping adventures where I share how I scrap items for easy money. I sometimes will go street scrapping or dumpster diving looking for scrap metal.
Please have a look at my scrapping videos and I hope I earn your subscription to my channel.
Thank you for stopping by and God bless y'all.

You're scrapping a newer computer than the one I actually use.
How old is your computer? I believe this one was from the Vista operating system days.
Yes very helpful. The board sort website alone I extremely helpful
@@mithrilsilver575 awesome!
Thank you for watching
I was not expecting a prayer at the end but man that really warmed my heart. God bless you sir! Thanks for the video
I’m so happy you enjoyed the prayer. God is great and God bless you too!
Thank you for watching.
That video card is not classified as a "slot processor". Boardsort calls it "Gold Finger Card Clean NO Fan NO Sink NO Bracket" and it goes for $4.90/lb.
The little "mosfets" are actually copper, not brass. So, they should go for a bit more. If you only have a few, you can hit them with a hammer to break off the plastic and throw them in with #2 copper.
That was a great breakdown with weights and prices at the end. Well done.
Amen
Yeah unfortunately I was given incorrect information about that card, thanks.
My yard pays me dirty brass for them even though they are copper, don’t know why they do but that’s what they pay. Lol
Thank you for watching and God bless you!
Yeah Thank You for helping me with ewaste. Amen and amen
You’re very welcome!
Thank you for watching and may God bless you abundantly.
Thanks for that! I love how you break down all the weights & dollar amounts at the end
You’re welcome!
Thank you so much, I appreciate you letting me know.
You're a few months ahead of me on the Ewaste. Really enjoyed and appreciated this video!
Man I still have a lot to learn lol.
Thank you so much.
That’s great! I appreciate the information! That’s funny when you thought you made a mess but it worked out for you!
Thank you so much brother, I appreciate it.
That was a detailed video. Nice and methodical and great explanations as to what everything is and what it's worth. I wish we had a boardsort of types here in NZ. The closet is Auckland, and it's over an hour to get there, and they require a minimum of 100kgs worth of boards.
Thank you brother!
Oh wow that’s a lot of ewaste lol.
Boardsort is such a blessing.
Thank you so much for watching.
I'm in Australia, this is what we do, we get together and combine lots to create the minimum the scrap dealers require. One of us takes the boards, collects the money and distributes to the rest on the basis of weight contributed. Hope that helps.
Great video I love watching computer scrap out 😁👍
Thank you my friend! I really love scrapping them.
Very good video my friend. I just did a similar tear down. Wish I would have had your tips before. Thanks for the prayer for our brothers and sisters in Maui 😎😎🔥🔥⛏⛏
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching.
They need so much help, I couldn’t even begin to imagine what they’re going through. God bless you.
Thanks for the info. I'm new to e waste as well. This video made it easier to understand,
Awesome, I’m glad it has helped. Thank you for watching.
Great tear down and explanation of what's worth what! CheeRs
Thank you brother! Have a blessed day.
CZcams made me watch this again lol when I’m working I just have the tv 📺 on auto play
Oh good CZcams, finally they are acting smart 😂
I appreciate you watching again and leaving another comment.
@@scrapitall200 of course, not like I had a choice you don’t wanna make CZcams mad lol
@@nicejunk666 or scrapitall 😂
We take ps with or without wire. Wire adds up in value if you have a lot
@@urabusivemomma wire sure does add up, I think I have around 400 pounds right now.
Thank you for watching.
Thanks for the video!
Thank you for watching.
Excellent!
Thank you for watching!
Really good video bro. Great info and break down
Thank you so much, I appreciate that.
excellent video, great prayer, good man. thank you, God bless you
Thank you so much! God bless you and thank you for watching.
Thanks for the video, it helps me 👍🏼
Awesome, I’m glad it helps you. Thank you for watching.
Another's great break down brother !!
Thank you!
I appreciate you watching brother.
Congratulations on getting more views than shark scrapper way to go 😊
😂
Thank you buddy.
Oh wow! They have pictures
They do, which does help.
I wish they’d add a few more pictures to each category. Maybe one day they will.
I hope you’re getting answers to your ewaste questions from watching these videos.
@@scrapitall200 Thank You for the response. Yeah I have learned a ton! Thanks to you!
@@EricScrapping4Dinidog you’re welcome!
That’s awesome, I’m so happy my videos are helpful to you.
thank you for the educational video, would like to see you tear down a harddrice, i have problems with some parts to remove off the most of them. Have a nice week see you in the next video!
Thank you very much. Thank you for your suggestion and I do believe I can make a video taking apart the same hard drive in this video. Thank you and you too have a wonderful week.
Thanks for teaching me how to rip apart a pc
You’re welcome.
Thank you for watching
One minute i hear your raptor critters in the background, then i hear planes? Wish i was out in the country somewhere!
I do love being out in nature and surrounded by trees. Thank you for watching.
I may have to start looking into ewaste more. Very nicely done.
There’s definitely good value in them and as you saw, easy to take apart. Thank you for watching.
I would have to advise against that, if you don't have a big source where you can get a lot of similar stuff for free. Otherwise it is very hard earned money.
What you see in this video is a high yielding PC that becomes more and more rare. The components have less and less valuables in them with each new generation of hardware, and they have less of it as everything becomes more integrated. Half of the PCs today have only one Ram stick and use onboard graphics.
@jackmclane1826 Thank you for your advice. I will take it into consideration. That being said, I won't turn down ewaste if it seems to be in the best interest of collecting and recycling.
Great video my friend
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Fantastic info as always brother
Thank you so much brother, I appreciate you watching.
Great Video on the entire process and value breakdown. You should do the same for laptops. Maybe a small one(cheaper) and a bigger one(higher processing power) for comparison.
Thank you!
That’s a great idea, thank you for that.
Good video
Thank you!
Your welcome
Thanks for making this video! I wish I came across more computer towers. Lots of good stuff all in one place, and they're so much fun to take apart. And, as always, thanks for the blessing at the end of your video!
I agree, they are fun to scrap. Thank you for watching and you’re welcome brother.
what about gold parts?
@@smitchlego what exactly would you like to know?
@@scrapitall200how to sell gold plated parts
also was there something I can do for shoutout?
🤙🤙👍 good info,i got probly $750 worth i need to send off,or i just keep hoarding and they can sell it off when i gone 😁✌️
Thank you!
Good thing about ewaste with all the precious metals inside, they’ll continue to have great scrap value. Thank you for watching.
👍✌️
Great video my friend. Only correction is the slot processor is a gold finger card with no heatsink ,fan and bracket. Great job.
Thank you for confirming that for me and thank you for watching.
Great video
Thank you
You are welcome
Great video sir
Thank you buddy, I appreciate you watching.
Excellent information/cheers
Thank you so much buddy!
@@scrapitall200 great content 👌
@@scrapbongo786 I really appreciate that!
I am a hobbyist scrapper and I appreciate that you truly try to scrap it all and leave the least amount of waste going to the landfill.
It doesn't hurt to make a few bucks when all is said and done. Ome quick question: when I scrap a laptop motherboard I am uncertain about the hold colored fingers that connect to the battery. I use a hard drive magnet to pick them up but I can easily shake the gold colored tabs off. Could it be brass type alloy or can it really be gold plated or may be some type of stainless steel? Or do I just put them on my tin shred bin?
Thanks for all the great info and prayers are refreshing as well
Thank you so much.
I do believe those are gold plated and Boardsort will buy those. I believe they’ll buy them under the gold connector ends category, but I’m not 100% certain. They also have a category “gold pins” that will be any type of style of pin connectors, but they have to be removed from any plastic or other material.
God bless and thank you so much for watching.
First-time watcher here. I'll be scrapping over 100 computers soon. Thank you very much for all of the info.
The prayer in the end was not expected. Keep it up brother!
Oh awesome!
I’m happy you’ve found my video helpful.
If you have any questions feel free to email me. You’ll find my email on my CZcams home page.
Thank you for watching and God bless!
I appreciate the breakdown and the closing prayer. God bless
Awesome!
I appreciate you watching and God bless you too!
great video
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Great video. That one card was not s slot processor it was a dvi video card. It is considered a gold finger card. You did the right thing removing the heat sink and bracket
I’m glad you pointed that out. I was told by someone I thought to be a reliable source tell me those are slot processors. Little embarrassing lol. Thank you for watching and letting me know.
Glad to help out. I do a lot of ewaste any questions let me know. Also boardsort will buy the cable connector ends if they are gold pins. Currently 85 cents s pound
@@jpgolias thank you so much, I appreciate that.
Yeah I’ve been saving them up for awhile now. I definitely need to learn more about ewaste and I’m getting there lol. It’s relatively new to me, unlike with regular scrapping.
Nice break down video, newer computers are so much easier to get at.
Thank you I appreciate that.
Great video buddy!
Thank you buddy. Thank you for watching.
@@scrapitall200 your are very welcome buddy!!
The reader eye in a cd drive can have gold in them in the form of ic chips and gold plated Diodes.
I did not know that, thank you.
Amen Brother!
God bless you and thank you for watching.
Get a cheap used laptop and a cord to connect and look through hard drives. So many people back in the day would get Bitcoin when it was worth less than a penny and forgot about it. Ive found a few here and there when scrapping old computers.
Oh wow, that’s pretty cool. I hope you find a huge stash of it.
Thank you for watching.
Amen!
Thank you for watching. God bless you!
❤
Thank you for watching, I appreciate it.
That was a good breakdown, my friend. I wish we had a place like boardsort to sell to, but that's life and we all can't have everything.
With the hard drive, would it even be worth shipping? That's a long trip.
You must’ve missed that part lol. Yeah I said that I don’t ship them. I break them down and just sell the board. Thank you for watching.
@@scrapitall200 Yep, just went back through and I thought it was the cd rom you were talking about. At the end you priced it out as a hard drive so I completely forgot that part. No more watching videos in bed before coffee. I was thinking that hd boards are probably more valuable than cd drive boards.
No worries buddy, I do that too lol.
Non-sata hard drive boards are $14 per pound
Sata hard drive boards are $6.75 per pound
CD rom boards are $5 per pound.
Watched it again lol
Hey thanks lol
No problem
i wish i have close access to sell to boardsort. I got a bunch of motherboards. video cards, rams, HD boards that i need to find a buyer. Our scrap yard pays 10 cent/lb on circuit boards, regardless of quality
Do you live in the USA?
👍🙏
God bless!
OMG!!! Thankyou for showing board sort and doing camparison. wife is yelling at me because have things to d0 so i will save video to my scrapping playlist and come back. but real quick ios is worth to pay shipping for this stuff. or how in your experiance most cost effective way of shipping.
I haven’t shipped much to them, but I have used the flat rate boxes from the post office to ship ram sticks to them and I was able to fit just over 3 pounds of ram sticks inside and at $23 a pound and the shipping cost was $10, it was definitely worth it.
I don’t have enough experience yet with the shipping cost of things, but I imagine that shipping higher value items will be well worth it.
@@scrapitall200 copy that i have a stack of those shipping boxes
thanks for the reply. be safe@@scrapitall200
You’re welcome!
By the way I went picked up an industrial dishwasher from restaurant today
Great info and video. I've collected a bunch of circuit boards of all types and sizes and been wondering what to do with them. (Sized from small alarm clocks to big tv's)
God bless you and what you do.
Boardsort.com is a fantastic company to work with. They are located in Ohio and if you are close enough to them, you can drive up to them and sell stuff like you would at a scrap yard.
Thank you so much and God bless you. Hope your wife is doing ok, I’ve been praying.
@@scrapitall200 I'm in south central Missouri so it would be a long drive. My wife has been doing better this week, though it's always a "ya never know" deal. Beth thanks you for the prayers too.
@@dalemills8052 yeah that would be a long drive lol. God is great and I will keep Beth in my prayers and you as well.
Thank you 🙏 24:44
You’re very welcome!
Thank you so much for watching.
at 10:26 , what kind of cutters are those , I like em
The brand is called “Doyle”
I love them! I’ve had them for 3 years and they’re still sharp.
Thank you for watching.
I subbed to your channel just now.
Better to fix it and sell it. It's faster to do, easier and you get much more.
I have fun scrapping though.
you're missing out on certain components such as power supplies capacitors and such. It's worth learning to desolder and salvage them.
also the screws on computers are stainless steel.
@@juanignaciocaino the screws weren’t stainless and I haven’t found any of them yet to be, except from hard drives. I always check, but thank you.
Personally I don’t mess around with capacitors since it’s very little weight in aluminum.
@@scrapitall200 the capacitors I mean as they are, salvaged electronic components rarely are valuable except for capacitors.
@@scrapitall200 I save them all and the ones that aren't stainless are still valuable as neat, pleasing to see fasteners. I know, I have a hoarding problem! lol
I remove the board,top and magnets out of the hard drive and then i sell it as a giant fidget spinner for 3$.
Oh really? That’s reality cool!
Thank you for watching.
That board you are calling a slot processor is actually a GPU or Graphics Card/Graphics Processor. Might be worth more if you put it in correctly?
I made a mistake with that unfortunately. It’s worth less, I believe. Thank you for watching.
@@scrapitall200 ha, no worries. Interesting video, thanks!
@@ve4edj thank you!
😮that looks like a i5 dell optiplex idk but i know they still sell for 100$ or more
@@konokiLuong all I know is the computer didn’t work.
Thank you for watching.
I'm show me the scrap yards are getting hip to E-Waste or the local E-Waste guys are going to the scrap yards and having a and having a chat or trying to become partners or something but the one scrap yard that's close to me that I just started going to I found out that they can take PC and TV monitors 15cents lb but only 3 a month so will take me ouple months 🤣
More and more scrap yards are buying ewaste.
Where can I sell about 100lbs. of industrirl electronics(high quality)
You could try a scrap yard but they will probably only pay you shred steel price.
You could post an ad
You could tear it all down and sell components to Boardsort.
You could also try selling the stuff through an auction.
I don't think that is a slot prosser. The only way they have those is if there is no cpu
I’ll have to research a bit more about that. I might have been given some incorrect information. Thank you!
Dude you're getting a Dell 😂
Oh man that’s an old commercial I forgot about 😂
Can you do this with a laptop.
I don’t personally scrap laptops since there’s way less stuff inside, but there’s still memory, hard drive and mother board. I believe Boardsort will buy complete laptops, but I’m not sure the shipping cost would make sense. If you are close to Ohio (where they are located) you can go there in person and sell your Ewaste.
How much is shipping to the company?
That’s hard to answer since there’s lots of different shipping options. I can tell you my experience when I last sent RAM to them. I shipped them almost $100 worth of RAM to them in a flat rate box through the usps and that cost me $10. I’m on the West coast and they’re located in Ohio.
Good day from Ontario. Interesting video. I was hoping for more, but that is life.
A little at a time . E waste up here is .10/pd. I pick up flat screen tv hoping I can use it, son says get rid of it
Phoned scrap yd & they said .10/pd. Have ever taken a flat screen apart ?
Thanks Those transformers on computer, I seen were they made small welders.
I have done flat screen tvs before. There will be some smaller ewaste stuff inside but if you don’t have a place to sell ewaste components too, I’d just take the entire tv to the scrap yard. However, if it’s a lcd tv you’ll want to take the back cover off, there’s lots of aluminum and copper inside. I have one that I’ll be making a video soon with. Thank you for watching.
@@scrapitall200 I think mine is led, it said on it white lines across top of screen, but if I take off will they still buy it. If it weighs 30 lbs.at.10=3.00 I don't Thanks
@@donvoll2580 what I’ve learned is that each scrap yard will be a little different than others. The best thing you can do is talk to your yard and find out what they do. Also, since you’re up in Canada things might be different when it comes to ewaste than me down here in the USA. Sorry I don’t have clearer advice for you.
that's why vintage computers are getting expensive, are getting rarer and rarer every year.
Why’s that?
@@scrapitall200 because guys like you scrap computers instead of selling them as is
@@moguus2944 this computer sat out in the rain for a few years, no one wanted it, so scrap it is.
@@moguus2944 what do you consider vintage computers? This was a mass produced Dell PC that ran Windows Vista
@@scrapitall200 up to Windows XP / Pentium 4/D right now. don't forget: in the next 5-10 years these Windows Vista PCs will be vintage as well, so don't think that "Windows Vista PCs are worthless in the future" and especially parts from that era it will obviously going rarer due to these people who consider that " These very old PCs are worth nothing", and even there is business that have old equipment whose drivers/software does not work in moder versions of Windows.
Do you buy Sata and Non Sata boards.
I don’t buy them but Boardsort.com does.
I have a couple 100 of each. Not sure any scrap yards around here take them.@@scrapitall200
enjoy your video. Thanks for the all the information. I have scrap over 100 computers was just saving the CPU and Hard drives Didn't know the CD rom where of value..
Do you sell the Earth magnet?
@@jbthreeTn thank you!
Boardsort.com buys a lot of stuff, definitely check out their website.
I keep the magnets but I’ve heard of people selling them on eBay.
Thank you for watching.
The answer is different for everybody. But in my opinion it is: Pick the cherries of what you find for free in some hobby free time and get something else as a day job. Scrapping is really hard work and not a very reliable source of declining income. Scrap becomes less valuable today. For PCs that means for me: Pick Ram, cards, CPU (cooler only when there is significant copper on it), gold corner BGAs (hit it with a blow torch for 3 seconds and knock it off), hard drive, cut the wires off the PSU and leave the rest. This way you extract 80% of the value in just a couple of minutes.
You leave behind some steel and a low grade board with the most valuable chip taken off it.
Thank you for watching.
That is not a slot processor ))) that is a video card, VGA )))
I’ve been corrected already. Unfortunately I had been given incorrect information about that.
@@scrapitall200 ok, no problem dude!
@@scrapitall200 ok, no problem, dude!
Scrap yards are middle men they will give you a fraction of what its worth

How's every'body' doing >
Answer RESTING IN PEACE -
as every BODY is buried in the cemetery.
You have NOT YET learned the difference between every'one'
and every'body'
The obvious question has escaped you.
SO -- ask yourself this simple question:
How many of YOU are there in existence on this earth ?
IF it so happens that YOU are the only one that is and ever will be in existence
Then you are some 'One'
Now write an essay on the importance and significance of 'One'
It is about 8 lines of text
My youngest students age 8 completed the essay successfully.
It is doubtful you could do it.
I would suggest that these students age 8 are academically more advanced than you
Prove every'one' wrong by writing the essay - so others who are clueless can learn.
8 lines of text - very simple
Good luck
God bless you!
You'd make far more if you learnt to recover the gold yourself
I’m not into using all of the acids though.
P>S> thanks. business owner turned to scrapper because covid.
You’re welcome! Covid sure did change things for a lot of people. Hope my videos will help you with your scrapping adventures.
