    Just an opinion ... but i think a lot of this has to be self taught. The standard recommendation here is that you dig through the archived threads. I would offer a couple of other suggestions as well.

    1: Most buyers have their own grading system. Look at the buyers listed here and learn their grading systems. They aren't exactly the same but there are many similarities. Many will answer questions you may have by email.



    2: You might look at boardsort.com That wouldn't be a bad place to start learning.

    3: See if you can find some ewaste buyers in Germany or in the EU. All of the different components you have only have value if you have someone who is willing to pay you for them. Transportation and shipping costs are an important consideration as well. There are some components that cost more than they are worth to transport over any great distance.

    For example: You might sell the computer cases and heat sinks at the closest metal recycling yard.

    Best of luck on your new undertaking !
