    What your leaving out is video cards unlike most other finger cards have a heatsink and sometime fan attached to them as well. I know most buyers dont require these to be removed to get finger card price either.

    Army great question and thanks for asking as this is the type of intelligent and constructive conversations we need more of. I separate the graphic cards from the other finger card in my breakdown process. I do this as they are a higher valued item, requiring further evaluation (a second look!). I identify the graphic cards that have the greatest potential to resell as is. Then I remove the fast and easy brackets, fans, heatsink, etc. from remaining graphic cards.Those graphic cards are then added to the other finger cards. As Ryan said this is all about a products actual value, determined by the refiner. We are all taking a low perceived valued item, processing that item as efficiently as possible. To sell to our customers a product that now has a higher value. (ACT) Average Total Cost is one of three averages that a refiner uses to do a, short-run production analysis. This way a refiner knows they can make a profit, determining the unit price they can pay you (us). That unit price is the "sort category" we know as finger boards. Just my $.02 for what it's worth ($.00) lol
