    I may do an experiment and remove the metal from one and compare the price I can get with and without metal.
    It takes a few to make a lb. so stripping one isn't really going to tell you much. Save this stuff up until you get 20-50 lbs. then you can start looking for a buyer. In the mean time I hope this can help some of the newer ones looking to start in the ewaste side. This first one is "parts of a motherboard". http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/gener...therboard.html

    Here is a rundown of grading electronic boards from a buyer of ewaste, but it doesn't include everything.

    One more of all the different components you'll find on circuit boards.

    If you've already read this then I'm sorry for repeat posting, but if it helps one newer person light up a bulb then that's cool.
