    Rob, are these PCI or ISA sound cards?
    If so, I think you are paying too much for each. Approx weight for one board, with the metal bracket attached,
    4 ozs. Times that by 4 = 1lb
    So, if u only buy at $1/card = $4/lb
    Two of the major forum buyers are only paying out between $2.50 to 3.25/lb. Add shipping and you are losing
    money :-( Hope my calculator is correct, lol.



    btw, there isn't much one can 'refurbish' on a non functioning sound card. However IF some are high end cards
    with lots of bells and whistle functions, they may be worth more than scrap to some E-bayers. (ebay = hassle)

    Cheers and good luck

    I'm guessing and hoping he means sound boards / mixers for a studio, not sound cards for computers. Unfortunately, I haven't taken any of those apart, so I can't advise on that. If they are going for decent money in working condition, I'm sure you can sell at least the knobs off of them
