    value of this?

    Alright, here's some pics of what some of the stuff I've gathered up thus far, can anyone give me a rough guess what it's worth? Thanks for taking your time to look.

    I would suggest grabbing a scale and then use boardsort's site to get an idea. I only suggest boardsort because he has the most pictures which will you help you identify what you have and what it's market value is. Parttimescrappers sticky thread will also be helpful.

    The information is out there for you to figure it out on your own and learn a whole bunch in the process.

    I have the scale, know what kind of boards i have, but every site and buyer i check has different prices, just wanted a rough guess from someone who has experience selling, ive been researching for about a week now and wouldnt make a noob mistake of asking without looking first, but just because i think i may have $x amount, someone with experience may see a different price.

    Really you are going to have to weigh them and do the math. Looks like you have a couple of server mother boards which go for a good price. (the mother boards with places for two cpu's) I got $4.40lb on those, mother boards $4.05lb.

    The one with the brown board is from a old floppy drive, those I break off the part of the board with the pins and sell the as connectors at $2.00 lb

    Memory $15.50lb.

    Slot processor $11.75lb

    The rest of the cpu's check with broardsort or someone else. Many of the buyers require mimimum for some items. Mike.

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked

    You know what you have, how much of it you have and what buyers are paying.... you already know what it's worth. What else can anyone add to what you already know?

    Just use the actual price sheet from the buyer you feel the most comfortable with. You've seen the referrals for the buyers here and if you want to know about Boardsort, PM me. Nice beginning.
