    A lil board grading please

    As some of you may know I fell into a huge load of arcade scrap and there are hundreds of pounds of boards of all types. Here are a few that will help grading the others if you would be so kind.
    board 1-4

    board 5

    board 6

    board 7

    Do the removable chips with the stickers on them have a little glass window behind them? If so they are E-Proms and can be worth up to $60lb. I would guestimate that your boards are right in the motherboard to peripheral grade range. Board 7 might be higher depending on what’s on the other side, but I am not an expert.. Let one of the E-waste buyer’s chime in for more accurate grades.

    I have quite a bit of the eproms with the gold windows.. The other side of the board is bare. It was a keypad from a payout lottery machine... I have around 20 of that one...

    Email your favorite ewaste buyer a few pic's and they can grade them for you, I imagine they are awfully busy now that the prices have bounced back up, thay can't sit around on this forum when there's a business to run. Who's the closest buyer to you??

    They are all desktop motherboards in my book other than the last one. I would have to have a sample so I can test it and find out how much gold is on it.

    Easy buddy if you were closer you would be my man... Shipping on a thousand pounds would be killer.. and 50% of that is power supplys drives etc... Ever think of branching out toward the east coast?

    If you have that many I would like to have a small load to fully check them out but they have chips on them and look far better than low grade so my guess would be med grade to high grade. As per branching out we can work with you if you have a few pallets that need to be picked up.

    The shipping is what kills me... That and I want to look the dude in the eye while he is grading my hard work.. I give ya props though man one of the ewaste "BUYERS" I messaged on here has yet to answer my message.. Something tells me he does not want a real person looking at him while he "grades"

    I think you are mistaken. Several members have traveled to different member buyers locations. So far all have reported they were welcomed and the owners took the time to show them how the grade. If you read the old threads you would be aware of this.

    I personally use ewasted and PartTimeScrapper. Since I live in eastern NC far from any buyer I send photos of what I am sending, examples of each type board. I then know the grade. Since these guys work with a small workforce and they are the buyer they do not respond imediaetly' It would be nice if they did but that is not the case.

    Shipping, how much weight, quantity are going to be sending? There may be alternatives. Where do you live? Mike.

    um parttime i have no idea what your talking about... I am from WV so the Ohio area seems to be the closest for me. As of right now and im far from finished is around 500 pounds of mid to telecom and about the same in low grade.. Around another 500+ pounds in power supplies, drives etc... bout 200 pounds of cord ends.. then chips ram and mixed items...

    Might almost be worth driving it to one of the northern buyers, there's 3 I can think of, and their all good people. My junkyard that just started buying ewaste told me that they almost have a semi load to go to Indy, but I didn't get the buyers name yet.
    Still working on that.

    If you are shipping in gaylords then the cost is considerably less than my fedex'ing 300lbs. I get a better deal on shipping because Ewasted arranges it. Mike.
