    From looking at your pics i see you removed the alum from the boards.



    Leave it on. alum @ 3.50 a pound is > alum @ 0.60 a pound.

    I get a different price for having my boards be free of heatsinks and batteries, ends up being well worth it for me to have my boards clean.

    Hmm i thought it had to be clean to be able to send it in. This is the stuff I'm having a hard time figuring out. There seems to be a lot of difference from the people that buy the stuff that some want it one way and others another. I guess I need to contact a buyer and ask them.
