    Mech do you turn them in this way , I thought one would have to strip the metal parts off?

    If your buyer does not require it, why? You get paid for the weight.

    I agree let the buyer purchase the boards as is, big difference if your shipping to Sipi for toll refining and end up paying for trash.

    Whereas you may be able to turn them in without removing the "metal parts", I wouldn't advise doing so.
    Once you remove the heat sinks, you may be able to sell (the heat sinks) them for about .40 a pounds--more if they're copper.
    Thanks for your time!

    God bless!
    Why would you remove a .40-.55 a lb part when your getting 2.00-3.00 a lb with it on the board.
    Don't trip over that dollar getting to the dime.
