Board grading

[ryanw]

It's seeming that the overall motherboard category that some places have had are being split, at least, into two categories. "Foreign" boards, and the rest. This isn't new knowledge, but it's trickling down to everyone that has a small margin on this stuff.

If it's made in mexico, it's foreign. This could have been on purpose, but also something could have been lost in an explanation to the scale person. I sell a decent amount locally, but the knowledge really isn't passed around well to employees. Last place I was inquiring at, I brought a large sample of motherboards. The scale person was most interested in pins on boards than anything else.

Pins on boards. Like the sata wire connection pins. I think that's a bad way to grade. Large buyers must go my socket. It's all socket. I'm saying look at population to sub grade the same
Socket board. One socket 774 board may have 8 Different manufactures. They all make them a little different. This is why I'm saying its all quality of the populated parts.

This doenst matter. Make ur margin and move on unless ur tollin assay selling.
