Thats good info lost, a lot of the buyers I deal with where I have to ship stuff out do not really provide a breakdown.
I usually keep a record of my weight and what I sent in, if my total is less than what they paid me ( which is almost always the case ) and it does not amount to lesser greater than $30 I care not to bother my buyer further just for that.
However, if its off by a hundred something or more I look at my sheet and ask them for a proper breakdown on weight and material.
Not too many buyers care after they receive your material but there is always something good about every buyer regardless, better pricing on certain things ( specials ), convenience, payment on spot etc.
I feel like I met you before, someone who introduced himself from the Grand Rapids. I could be terribly wrong lol.
I am now just preparing my first drop to Boardsort, I personally want to drop it off after I complete the load. I like going to e-waste facilities and looking at their set-up and just see how they do things. I have a couple more odd ones to post in a bit.
Some of my buyers are very informative of how they want things to be depending on how they get paid. A buyer I dealt with who sends material for refining gets paid based on assay results and they are extremely strict on sorting and preparation. Another buyer I dealt with gets paid based on recovery results and they are not as picky as the other. Boardsort is also a breed of its own, the name I think is genius and known by many for its integrity and honesty.
What I like most is their website, the forums, and they have a scale that weighs material to the bottom weight and gives you a proper estimate on value. It is never a boring site to explore and you actually get to see other peoples boards and collection, always a pleasure to see other peoples material even the nice boards that other members simply want to brag about lol.
