in Summary My questions.

the gold plated pins were connected with a ultra thin single wire very resistant. any ideas? some kind of steel-cooper alloy?


to sell it on ebay, what would be better? depopulate and sell separately or the whole board. since the board itself is has gold plated paths.


any idea how much I can sell them for? based on the components that are to be found.

prices in germany Ebay are like 3-5€ per Kg of regular PC Mothers, 7€ server mothers, 12€ large server boards with lots of gold plating.
