I work with an eWaste company with hundreds of thousands of items in stock, and have decided to start accepting
BTC. Our catalog of current materials, which changes every day, is available here:
www.kpsurplus.com I generally try to test things for people I know, when I can, before I send them out. Sometimes this isn't possible and sometimes it is. It really depends on what you are looking for. Some items are not going to be available for
BTC, specifically items that are being sold for other people and items that require a permit to have (unless you can file a permit).
If you see something you might be interested in, post a link to the item(s) in this thread or send it to me in a PM. I will respond with a quote and will ship within 2 work days on receiving payment.
Feel free to ask questions. I can't lie, I'm super nervous about doing this but I'd love to have a few
BTC to play with.
I AM NOW ACCEPTING LITECOIN AS WELLI always ship with tracking with USPS, unless I am sending freight.
I AM NOT A GENII OR SOMETHING, CHECK THE SITE FOR WHAT YOU ARE SEEKING BEFORE ASKING!Lets take a little tour of the place, shall we?
This is our current 'to be processed' queue. For the most part everything in this picture is not in the database, which means it is not on the website. This room is about 12k sq feet.

We use this space to prepare things for surplus removal, such as these TV's. Nobody in the world wants TV's. If anyone wants a box truck full of TV's, even tested working ones, well... you know a guy now. Don't dismiss the old ones with wooden boxes either, there is a growing new business in leasing that kind of equipment out as movie props!

We also use this space for queues, such as the 'toner and ink queue' pictured here. This stuff goes to a ton of different places. People buy wholesale lots of used ink to use in trade in programs, some of it is new in package anyway so it can be easily resold, and a few people have even started using some for non-Newtonian fluid experiments. I have been working on a database of ink cart weights empty and full, so I can weigh toner and determine how full it is. Once every 6 months we go through this queue and sort it all by make and model to go to posting.

We also use this space to store and sort out already-posted things that are matching, such as these printer/copier paper trays.

Things are picked out of the terrible side of the warehouse for posting, put onto carts and sent to posting. This is where pictures are taken, dust is removed, and items are tested. Our software automatically syndicates new posts onto ebay and other sites, as well as the site you all have a link to.

After posting it is given an inventory SKU (the same on the page) and sent to be stored in inventory. There are over 40 isles that look like this.

There it sits until an order comes in, in which case someone will take a cart around and collect everything for the order and then roll the cart with the purchase order attached to the shipping department. Here is shipping.

From there items are sent out on the loading dock by USPS or UPS usually, who come every day to take away the days orders.
I didn't take any images of our office area because I am afraid of catching someones private data, and the office is COVERED with purchase orders and the like with client data on it. I'll keep an eye out for a good time to snap some, but it's just cubicles. Oh, well, here are a few office pics that are kinda neat I guess.....
Hard drives, fresh off the DBAN train and ready to be used.

We really do get a lot of projectors in, sometimes.
