    Telecom that I would guess would be graded/priced very close to motherboard since they aren't densely populate but do have the nice processors. So offer the price your willing to pay for motherboards.

    Check the buyer threads, for a good ball park on what to expect, or pm one direct, or wait for someone to chime in with their thoughts on pricing. Scrapyahard beat me to the guessing, I was going to also say telecom.

    Good luck an let us know how it works out for ya.

    Can you get good front and rear photos? If so send a pm with the photos to one or more of our buyers for their estimate of what they would pay and what might need to be removed before shipping. Mike

    need some advice with these

    personally, I would offer $2 per pound and expect a return of at least $4 per pound. keep in mind any metal that needs to be removed, possible gold cap processors, and any shipping cost

    I was going to say the same thing, although if that steel is on all of them, I'd offer $1/lb.

    weigh them with the metal removed.

    Have a buyer picked out before you buy them. shipping or gas money to deliver can affect your pricing.

    I personally think you will get around 4.00 a pound give or take, but I disagree with how to buy them. I'd offer a flat price for each one.

    Those are high grade telecom boards. You hit the jackpot there. I had a bunch of that stuff last year. Pays better than mother boards.

    I would pay about $1 to $1.25 per pound for those boards and then remove all of the steel.
