    The Value of P4 boards has been declining for a while now because the consumers demands CHEAPER products. So to meet that demand all of the manufactures have created low end computers to fit this need. To acheive this they have created low end mother boards with less precious metals on the connectors, pins, chips and even less copper content in the board . This is why you can buy a complete computer at Walmart for $129.00.

    Some people are wasting there time buying P4 boards in 4 different catagories. This is way to confusing for the people who are selling their boards and way to time consuming for the people buying them that way. I have just one P4 catagory and have adjusted my pricing to coincide with that.

    The other problem is most people think the value of boards is much more then what they are actually worth. I big contributer to this problem is Ebay where things sell for far more then what the actual value is. The other problem is people selling there boards in SMALL quantities think they can demand the same prices as someone who is selling 10,000lbs at a time.

    If you Could get an assay on one P4 board and get a per pound price for that board. Now if you had 20,000lbs of the same board your assay isnt going to reflect the assay you had on that one board it could be more or less depending on who did the assay.



    And for the record I have never met Ewasted but I do check his pricing from time to time and he is not unfair or cheating anybody. People have to realize that the people selling us the boards are making 10x if not more proffit then we are.
