ok here are the weights of the 2 chips in question.


Black fiber is .72 ounces each. Now lets take this chip by barrens listed price. $41 per pound that makes this chip worth $1.84

Green fiber no heatisnk is .34 ounces Now lets take ewasted price since he pays more for these at $21.50 per pound makes this chip worth $.46

Gold conectors are 10oz at $2.35 a pound using ewasted prices makes them worth $1.47

black fiber $1.84*3=$5.52
Green fiber no heat sinks$.46*17=$7.82
Gold connector ends = $1.47

Total In real world money $14.81

Total in ebay wonderland could be $500 you can ask for what ever you want on ebay doesnt mean your going to get it. Dont get me wrong I love ebay and use it every day to sell hard drives, good ram, and everything else I can check out and sell for better than scrap value. But if your going to keep quoting ebay prices on scrap be willing to buy it for that yourself. Or at least say this is what you could get on ebay. Heck the original poster even said they cant believe they bought it.

Sorry if this was a hijack I am just a stickler for numbers. Exspecialy when my first estimate was so darn close
