Sell Your Boards

SellYourBoards.com is a custom-built e-scrap buyback platform that enables individuals and businesses across the United States to sell scrap circuit boards, CPUs, RAM, and other electronic components for cash. Baytech Consulting partnered with founder Zachary Myers to replace a manual, Squarespace-based workflow with a purpose-built web application featuring automated USPS shipping integration, real-time order tracking, a self-service customer portal, and a full-featured admin dashboard.

The platform brings a modern, digital-first approach to the e-waste recycling market — an industry projected to exceed $65 billion by 2030 — giving sellers a streamlined self-service experience and giving the business a scalable intake pipeline.

Launch Results

In its first week on the new custom platform, SellYourBoards.com processed 47 orders, completed 21, and paid out $4,171.11 to sellers — demonstrating immediate adoption and a seamless transition from the legacy site.

Challenges

Before engaging Baytech Consulting, SellYourBoards operated on a Squarespace website with an entirely manual workflow:

• Email-driven order intake — Customers sent photos of their scrap via email, followed by back-and-forth exchanges to collect contact information, addresses, and box dimensions.
• Manual shipping label creation — The owner manually purchased shipping labels through Pirateship.com and emailed them to customers, a time-consuming process for each order.
• No customer self-service — Sellers had no way to track orders, view payout history, or manage their profiles online.
• Spreadsheet-based operations — Sorting, grading, and payout calculations were handled in spreadsheets, introducing error risk and limiting scalability.
• No price transparency — The existing site lacked a dynamic, searchable price list, leading to frequent support inquiries.
• Mobile-first audience underserved — With 78% of traffic coming from mobile devices (driven by the company's social media presence with over 1 million views), the Squarespace site was not optimized for the mobile experience.

Zachary evaluated seven different development companies before selecting Baytech Consulting. The differentiator was clear: Baytech was the only firm that came prepared with a working prototype before the first call, demonstrating both technical capability and a genuine understanding of the business.

Solution

Baytech Consulting designed and built a complete, production-ready platform that automates the end-to-end scrap selling workflow — from order creation to payment — while providing both sellers and administrators with powerful, intuitive tools.

For Sellers: A Frictionless 3-Step Process

1. Create Order — Sellers fill out a single-page form with contact information, ship-from address, box dimensions, payment preference (PayPal or check), and upload photos of their items. The system validates the address via USPS and generates a prepaid shipping label instantly.
2. Ship It — Sellers print the label and drop the package at any USPS location. Shipping costs are deducted from the payout — no upfront expense.
3. Get Paid Fast — Payment is issued via PayPal or mailed check within 1–2 business days of receiving the package.

For Administrators: Centralized Operations

The admin dashboard provides complete visibility into every order and customer, replacing the previous spreadsheet-and-email workflow with a unified management interface. Admins can update order statuses, manage customer accounts, control the dynamic price list, and track business metrics — all from a single portal.

Key Differentiator: No Sorting Required

Unlike competitors who require customers to sort and categorize boards before shipping, SellYourBoards handles all sorting in-house. Customers simply box everything up and send it. This dramatically lowers the barrier to entry and is one of the biggest reasons sellers choose SellYourBoards over the competition.

Technical Details

The platform follows a three-tier architecture with a clear separation between frontend, API/domain logic, and data persistence.

Architecture Highlights

• CQRS Pattern — Every use case maps to a dedicated handler class. Commands inject the database context directly; queries use AsNoTracking() projections for optimal read performance.
• Policy-Based Authorization — Permissions are centralized as static constants and included as JWT claims. Each API endpoint enforces specific permission policies.
• Soft Deletes & Full Audit Trail — All entities inherit audit fields (created/updated/deleted timestamps and user references). Records are never physically deleted.
• Domain Events — Decoupled side effects (such as email notifications) are dispatched via Rebus for clean separation of concerns.
• Mobile-First Design — Responsive layouts built with Tailwind CSS ensure seamless experiences across devices, critical given the 78% mobile user base.

Results

The custom platform launched in mid-February 2026, replacing the Squarespace site with zero downtime for the business. Results were immediate:

Business Impact

• Eliminated manual shipping workflow — Automated USPS label generation replaced the process of manually purchasing and emailing labels for every order.
• Self-service customer portal — Sellers create orders, download labels, and track status entirely online, dramatically reducing support overhead.
• Transparent pricing — A searchable, filterable public price list with 110+ items across scrap and premium categories gives sellers confidence before they ship.
• Nationwide scalability — USPS integration means any customer in the U.S. can sell from their local post office, with no geographic limitations.
• Admin efficiency — Centralized order management, customer accounts, and dynamic price list control replaced spreadsheets and email chains.

Client Testimonial

"Jeff, Bryan, Michael, and Nicholas at Baytech have been nothing short of phenomenal. They are incredible communicators and visionaries. When I was looking for a company to develop SellYourBoards.com, I searched for a quote from seven different companies. Jeff at Baytech was the ONLY person that came up with a rough prototype before we even had our first call. It showed his preparedness and willingness to work on our project. Don't be afraid to pay for quality with these guys. If you have the funds, they are 100% worth it. I've worked with cheap development agencies before, and the difference in the quality of work is night and day. Highly recommended."
