I really like these long videos, keeps my anxiety in check. It feels like it is a good friend talking to me! Thanks for getting me through these rough times.
Hey Ben, that RFS brand unit is for 4G mobile technology. I believe my company may have installed it because I saw the yellow labels on the coax cabel. Small world! 😁
I think your close-up chicken-- she's gonna try to sneak away your copper! lol I love the length of your videos; they calm me down after a stressful day of being a grocery manager. Keep up the great work; you're like a pen pal to me.
Hey Ben I am loving the long videos I am in gippsland and in stage 3 lock down and you and teaching me new things and love hearing you chatting away I do watch the full 3 hours lol please do stop making your vids
I stopped "street scrapping" shortly after the virus hit. I was noticing more and more people out there that probably need it more than me. I also have a lot stuffed in my garage. Good luck to everyone!! Enjoy watching your videos here in Wisconsin,🇺🇸
You know what I enjoyed the first part of the scrapping Marathon so much I couldn't shut it off I had to go to bed at 3 and it was really tough for me to shut it off so don't feel bad about talking too much or working too much I enjoyed totally and thoroughly I found a new thing to watch and I'm not giving it up I love it!
Hi Ben!! Glad to see you scrapping!! 3 hours long videos are cool!! Nothing to worry about!!Here in my area we had a total lockdown for two months, and it wasn't until everybody started wearing masks and taking it seriously that it went better, now we are healing and we are in better shape, and people now are very cautious, but sadly many people died. Do not believe conspiracies, just be cautious, keep your distances, and be strong mentally, everything will go better. Nice marathons and wish you all the best and a soon recovery!!
Electronic scrap has become very scarce around me with the virus bit in the states. Luckily I do it as a hobby. I did want to stop and thank you for all the time and effort you've put into your videos. I've watched them for years and truly enjoyed every one of them.
I watch most videos in stages, not only yours :) The Covid has calmed down here in Norway. We are allowed to travel, but keep the distance from other ppl. Not more than 20 ppl at one place. Stores have most things in stock, but some prices have gone up, meat has gotten really expensive. If we travel outside of Norway we may have to self-quarantine for 14 days. Sounds like things have gotten really heavy in Australia. It is good you have a lot to do, but 6 weeks...you work so quick that you may have to start your retirement plans early hehe I enjoy your videos, you have a good mind and find interesting things to talk about. Your humor is great too :)
Good luck getting rid of all that stuff, I think the best anyone now can do is not worry about the future and just keeping it real in the moment. I love these marathon videos, thanks for posting them! :D
The longest video I ever watched in one sitting was just under 11 hours long then after that there was still 3 or 4 more 10 hour videos to watch in the playlist so length doesn’t bother me at all 😂
Wow and Wow again - we had 3 Cups of Coffee during Your Strip Downs - soooo very interesting again - they coop You Up but You have always something to show us - one Day Ben - the Government will allow You out again -Andrews will reward You - Ha!!!! Keep Safe and many,many Cheers from Loganholme in QLD !!!!
typically I have your long videos like these on my second monitor while I am working on something and listening to it. Then I pay attention when you start scraping something interesting
I have to admit, I watch in stages. Absolutely agree with NOT buying allocated gold or silver. It's a very risky way to invest. They might as well call it fool's gold.
If you are looking for a #1 bit for your driver, try this: Find a #1 Screwdriver you own that is the required length you need. Then Just break off the handle. Put the shaft into your drill and whoola! Instant #1 bit for your Driver! This will not work with your New Power driver, however, but if you have an Adjustable chuck, it will work fine!
Loving the scrap marathon videos Ben. Here in the UK our covid restrictions are being relaxed slightly. We can go out but have to wear masks in any public enclosed areas and use hand sanitizer after handling anything. Looking forward to part 3 and it looks like your winter weather is better than most of our winter lol. All the best mate and keep safe👍
Finland is propably most easygoing covid country. Have to wear a mask only in hospitals and airplanes. No restriction on going out or going to restaurants or any other activities. That's for the moment. Love also long videos. Keep them coming and try to hang in there.
over here in canada they have at-leaste in my province re-opened all businesses, salons and restaurants exctra to regular business but while maintaining social distancing and masks.
Hey Ben! It’s George Baron from Rome NY again. Sorry I’ve been away for awhile but I still love your videos. Don’t worry about the length of your videos. We die hards love it. I live in Scranton PA now and I can’t wait to get back out there and start scrapping again. Hope you’re still winning over the pc bandit 😆😆😆 Keep on scrapping my friend and I look forward to reviewing your videos to help refresh my education on scrapping boards for the precious metals within. Love you buddy
Hey Ben! I found you today and already watched part one of your ultimate scrap videos. I sub'd. Honestly, and this may be weird, but your videos are very relaxing. I am new to scrapping but I am absolutely in love with it. Thank you for putting out the content. I really enjoy it.
wish i could do what you do, but i don't have the space nor the inventory, and it's hard to get electronics for free xD i love binge watching these scrap marathons! i hope you do them as often as you have the time/energy for it :) i started scrapping some of the old stuff i had laying around, and my moms old flatscreen tv, but im having a hard time finding enough stuff. in my country we don't leave stuff outside for people to take like you do in australia.
Here in Brazil, with 100k of deaths the government isn't doind anything to reduce cases... They're opening stores and restaurants and the situation only gets worse and worse... So in my opinion all these actions and orders that the Australian government is doing are valid. Is better to be stuck 23 hours at home than have 100k of deaths and THOUSANDS of underreported cases.
I depopulate the power boards of the aluminum, copper coils and the transformers and toss the rest. I also bust open the fat adapter ends taking out the transformer and bust off the plug blades for the brass
great bit of scrapping there! 53:00 yay! scrapper chuck! likes to help (when not washing! lol) ah ben, we had that kind of lockdown here in the uk... it wasnt nice, it was made worse when there were morons breaching the lockdown rules did their stupid thoughtless activities! after 3 months (once insanity has settled in! lol) you forget what outside is! yea we had the 1 hour excersise thing too! 😡😷😷 ben, your conspiracy theories are very interesting! they seem to match mine near head on! (they are out there... somewhere!) grief that round thing near the end was awesome! 😊 vid 1 was a good length vid, it was fine 😊
hey Ben! I'm italian and we were in lockdown from March to the middle of May.. Same as you are right now.. It's hard to stay home for that long.. i'm not the kind of guy which is always out doint stuff but still, it was a struggle.. it's hard to keep yourself busy.. you start loosing sleep.. your ''biological clock '' goes mad quickly.. but now we are allowed to do what we want.. still using masks and with social distancind but things are going better now.. Don't worry, the same will be there.. keep it up and stay safe!!
At the start of the pandemic in January, there were doing that too, you were pulled over and told to turn around and head back home or pay a fine if you didn't if one ventured to far from home. now that pretty much over with.
Great lockdown video, Ben. You say you don't have a 'very small' Phillips bit? Screwdrivers are cheap, cut one off at the hilt and voila, your bit. I've done it many times in a pinch.
You are too critical to your long videos. We who like to watch what you got to scrap, don't think what is too long or short time. The content is everything and that is spot on with you.
In the Uk, the lockdown restrictions vary by area depending on the number of new cases.. I live in Colchester (Britain's first city) and everything is as normal as it can currently get. Meanwhile, 10 miles down the road in the coastal towns they are closely monitoring the situation with a view to imposing full lock down again.
Here in the US we are open for the most part but virus is getting bad again.school starts in a week for my boys in north Carolina.but I'm concerned on how they will have procedures.the first two weeks are online then they go back to the school building.
Alrighty then 👍 time for good entertaining. Will be back and edit this comment. Thanks Ben. Finished! Sad but glad you are keeping your cash flow going 👍 keep your chin up and the chicks healthy, as you know they provide you a meal and if they stop laying, well, one is a mobile KFC. Thanks Ben and cheers!
In Chile, we had curfew at 22 since 4 months ago. Beside that, in the capital we only can go out 2 times for wek and only for 3 hours each time., so yes, it can be worse. Great videos though, love the scraping but we dont gat very good prices down here, chers mate!!
Watched a lot of your content over the last few days and read a lot of the comments also. Must be frustrating to balance the work input/reward aspects and then be critiqued by everyone regardless of what you do. Learning a lot as i work through the back catalogue.
Hey EWaste Ben do you sell you power supplies with the cable still on it I remember older videos you’d always clean the cable by cutting it off. Just curious
Welcome to the state of the world Ben. I’ve been in lockdown for 3 months, followed by one month of lockdown light. In the meantime nothing has been achieved, wasted time.
Prices for boards here in the US have already skyrocketed. Some things have gone up over $40USD per pound. Small single socket mobos have gone over $2usd per pound from my buyer. Absolutely amazing.
Ben, long videos are great, we can binge, watch it while doing other things or choose to watch it in stages! We love the long videos!!!
I really like these long videos, keeps my anxiety in check. It feels like it is a good friend talking to me! Thanks for getting me through these rough times.
18:00 Ben, 3 hours, no problem! I put it on Premium auto-play and go to bed....
Finally, part 2, I've been watching re-runs all day 😂
Ok......here we go!!!!
Hi there Ben ... I watched it in one go ..Victoria Canada
I have an attention span of more than 5 minutes Ben keep the long videos coming
I like the long scrape Marathon videos. They are awesome
Hi Ben, I cope with the lock down by watching E-waste Ben scrap marathons from beginning to end. Thanks for your community service!
thanks ben from over here in the uk keep up the good work loving the marathons
Glad you found a way to deal with all the keyboards without trashing them out. And you got some money as an added bonus, nice one Ben! :)
I always enjoy your videos
Hey Ben, that RFS brand unit is for 4G mobile technology. I believe my company may have installed it because I saw the yellow labels on the coax cabel. Small world! 😁
thank you ben
I think your close-up chicken-- she's gonna try to sneak away your copper! lol
I love the length of your videos; they calm me down after a stressful day of being a grocery manager.
Keep up the great work; you're like a pen pal to me.
I always look forward to e waste Ben movie of the week. They just get better and better.

I like hours long videos. Just my opinion. Keep up the great work!! 👍👍
We value your effort that you put in to the long videos, Ben. Your subscribers.

The longest video I ever watched in one sitting was just under 11 hours long then after that there was still 3 or 4 more 10 hour videos to watch in the playlist so length doesn’t bother me at all 😂
Newbie question: Do you collect all the screws into one bin? I believe it would have some weight to it. Thanks!!
Would LOVE to see your complete stack of Gold Band Crystal Oscillators!!!!
Have a GREAT Day My Friend!!!!!

Wow and Wow again - we had 3 Cups of Coffee during Your Strip Downs - soooo very interesting again - they coop You Up but You have always something to show us - one Day Ben - the Government will allow You out again -Andrews will reward You - Ha!!!!

Yep I agree long videos are great gives us a look at what we my never see in our scrapping runs.

Would love to see you stock pile of Gold Band Crystals!!
Have a GREAT Day My Friend!!!
Finally! Second part. Keep the great job Ben. You motivate me a lot!
over here in canada they have at-leaste in my province re-opened all businesses, salons and restaurants exctra to regular business but while maintaining social distancing and masks.
Hi Ben, if you can find a long ph1 screw driver, you could remove or cut the handle off and use it in your drill
Love your marathons.
Desde Argentina, abrazo. No spiking inglis. 🇦🇷✌️
love it
Hey Ben! It’s George Baron from Rome NY again. Sorry I’ve been away for awhile but I still love your videos. Don’t worry about the length of your videos. We die hards love it.

Please take care and stay safe.
Ttyl my friend

Only 2 hours long? Well, I guess I can still get to the grocery store today after all! :D
I always watch Ben on 1.5x speed ;)
wish i could do what you do, but i don't have the space nor the inventory, and it's hard to get electronics for free xD i love binge watching these scrap marathons! i hope you do them as often as you have the time/energy for it :) i started scrapping some of the old stuff i had laying around, and my moms old flatscreen tv, but im having a hard time finding enough stuff. in my country we don't leave stuff outside for people to take like you do in australia.

Really enjoying the longer videos.still waiting for the garage/storage unit to be cleared.how long now 2years 😂😂😂.👍♻
I depopulate the power boards of the aluminum, copper coils and the transformers and toss the rest. I also bust open the fat adapter ends taking out the transformer and bust off the plug blades for the brass
great bit of scrapping there!
53:00 yay! scrapper chuck! likes to help (when not washing! lol)
ah ben, we had that kind of lockdown here in the uk... it wasnt nice, it was made worse when there were morons breaching the lockdown rules did their stupid thoughtless activities! after 3 months (once insanity has settled in! lol) you forget what outside is! yea we had the 1 hour excersise thing too! 😡😷😷
ben, your conspiracy theories are very interesting! they seem to match mine near head on! (they are out there... somewhere!)
grief that round thing near the end was awesome! 😊
vid 1 was a good length vid, it was fine 😊
In my area we are in what we call stage 3 of reopening.
One more thing, I'd buy a copper bar off you and pay the shipping to England..... just because I want one of yours!🙃
29:00 TP-Link is saving each cent they can. They even have network cables with just 2 pairs in it in stead of 4. Saving another cent on copper.
u dont need more pairs if ur switch cant handle it, i agree that they r saving every penny tho
hey Ben! I'm italian and we were in lockdown from March to the middle of May.. Same as you are right now.. It's hard to stay home for that long.. i'm not the kind of guy which is always out doint stuff but still, it was a struggle.. it's hard to keep yourself busy.. you start loosing sleep.. your ''biological clock

46:55 with all that dust it should go into dirty pressing steel 🤣
Great lockdown video, Ben. You say you don't have a 'very small' Phillips bit? Screwdrivers are cheap, cut one off at the hilt and voila, your bit. I've done it many times in a pinch.
it help when u have striped out scews likethat pust on the thead it come out and u turn
Wow the Seagate drives with rubber like bra covers are a nice throwback to my early days of starting out in PC repair.
The long videos are great
You are too critical to your long videos. We who like to watch what you got to scrap, don't think what is too long or short time. The content is everything and that is spot on with you.
Bless yer Heart.
Plus here in UK when lockdown started all scrap yards shut down so that might happen where you are.stay safe 👍♻
In the Uk, the lockdown restrictions vary by area depending on the number of new cases..
I live in Colchester (Britain's first city) and everything is as normal as it can currently get.
Meanwhile, 10 miles down the road in the coastal towns they are closely monitoring the situation with a view to imposing full lock down again.
The uk in London is out from locked for now
yes sond like prizen to me get to go out to the yard for one hr a day then back to lock up
Here in the US we are open for the most part but virus is getting bad again.school starts in a week for my boys in north Carolina.but I'm concerned on how they will have procedures.the first two weeks are online then they go back to the school building.
Here in Wisconsin where I live the school my son goes to that can either go to school or do virtual learning at home
Ben if you ever come across a stihl whipper snipper(petrol version) is there anyway i could get it from you(so i can use it for parts)
Have you ever gotten U-matic video recorders? They were used in tv stations
Alrighty then 👍 time for good entertaining. Will be back and edit this comment. Thanks Ben. Finished! Sad but glad you are keeping your cash flow going 👍 keep your chin up and the chicks healthy, as you know they provide you a meal and if they stop laying, well, one is a mobile KFC. Thanks Ben and cheers!
i am almost 60, 4 mths away and i havent been out in 45 years.
In Chile, we had curfew at 22 since 4 months ago. Beside that, in the capital we only can go out 2 times for wek and only for 3 hours each time., so yes, it can be worse. Great videos though, love the scraping but we dont gat very good prices down here, chers mate!!
Hello Ben. If you sell some hand stamped copper I will buy one!
Jesus Christ, dealing with Covid-19 in Australia is NUTS. People here in Canada think we have it hard lol
Its only where ben lives is bad, Im in south australia we have restrictions but not like melbourne.
They did the same thing here in Quebec when the pandemic started
Ben continues to churn it out
Watched a lot of your content over the last few days and read a lot of the comments also. Must be frustrating to balance the work input/reward aspects and then be critiqued by everyone regardless of what you do. Learning a lot as i work through the back catalogue.
You have to get a ton of steel, in just screws every year ?
you can get pzi 0 and 1 long reach on amazon
I think you can easily fill up a big container with all the little screws you unscrewed ^^
You should wear a shirt that says "I like my Ciscos" to your pickups. :D
I bet those complaining about your long videos are the same ones that used to watch 3 hour movies at the theater , with no breaks
Northern hemisphere folks are confused when you say winter Ha!
It’s interesting but not confusing, deep summer has me wishing for the dark days of winter. We’ve not hit 110°F actual ...yet.
Hey EWaste Ben do you sell you power supplies with the cable still on it I remember older videos you’d always clean the cable by cutting it off. Just curious
Hang on Ben. Nearly 2 hours this one. I think I need a hot chocolate. Be right back ... ah, that's nice and warm and chocolatey. "Let's continue".
Welcome to the state of the world Ben. I’ve been in lockdown for 3 months, followed by one month of lockdown light. In the meantime nothing has been achieved, wasted time.
Prices for boards here in the US have already skyrocketed. Some things have gone up over $40USD per pound. Small single socket mobos have gone over $2usd per pound from my buyer. Absolutely amazing.
love the vids uk watcher
