    Motherboards $11.00 a pound!

    Check this ebay auction out. He says the boards probably work but no guarantee.

    This is clearly someone that knows the value and is waiting for a sucker to buy it. Look at the offer history, and you will see that it goes back to March 19th.

    If motherboards would really go for $1,200/100 lb, I would be right, as I would have all the scrappers around bringing me stuff left and right.

    That processor lot may not be THAT far off. The lowest paying ceramics go for about 40.00 per pound. That means if the whole lot is all the lowest grade, you still have 5200.00 if you are selling to one of our buyers. That is still a 2000.00 difference, but I do see an i960 in there, which are going for 135.00 per pound. Of course that could be the only one in the lot, but I don't see this one being as crazy as the first one.
