I have the good fortune to be able to shred a good sampling of boards, incinerate them and get the assay done by a local refiner who I sell my gold to. Maybe I will be spinning my wheels or maybe there will be some validity to my theory. Either way once it is done I will have a definitive answer. I know of someone that has ben doing what I propose over on grf. I have to look for the results and when I find them I will post those as well.

    Whatever the findings I will post them. I will either be the goat or the hero but at least we will all have an answer. I know that the info I get and post may ruffle some feathers of some, but this has been a topic of discussion here since I joined without an answer.
    What I think is funny the fact that they were graded foreign. Aren't 90%+ of PCBs foreign made. Finding N.American made is the oddity on MB. Mexico is part of NAFTA. Most of what I have seen are made in china just on green boards.

    You guys they are all foreign. I can't spell so sorry.

    It's all from china. Three laptop companies make all the laptops for all the big players.


    No is talking because every high end buyer has an assay report on every socket. The difference is chipset ic and other populated parts. Like what are the quality.

    Its so simple but so dam hard to explain.

    I just started doing this two months ago and sat down and said. Aaron learn now and now why and what every component does you can solve any grading question.

    To a point.

    No likes guys like us. I rather deal with educated buyers and sellers than look to score one time.
    Look trus verify and make lots of little deals all the time. I don't like big scores.
    Sean at phonix said it well. Don't trip over dollars for dimes.

    Just meet the guy last week. Solid buyer for you New England guys.

    Until I take over the world. Lol.

    Aaron.
    Stillwater.

    Great info in this Thead. Let's get to to 10 pages and sticky it.

    Buyers won't like that. Lol. I'm a buyer though. Kinda. Batteries are my baby.

    Nite guys its sat and kids rule thjs house on sat.

    Aaron.
