    OK here is a breakdown for you.
    It takes on average 12 boards to make a pound. So thats 12 hard drives at aprox 1.25 pounds each for 15 pounds. Whole these drives would fetch aprox $15 to $17 dollars from one of us buyers here on the forum. Now one pound of boards would fetch around $11 to $12 and the remaining 14 pounds of boardless drives would fetch around $5 to $6. So your profit for removing the boards would be around $1 to $2. Now if you want to sell them whole as possible usable drives and make up to 6 or 7 times that amount check my buyers threads in my signiture for my prices.
