Green Motherboards VS. Colored "Chinese" Motherboards

I believe you'll find they pay less AE, for the "mix"?, I mean the ones I've looked at do. Even the ones who do not differentiate the two in their pricing, are generally paying less for mixed, than the places who differentiate are paying for sorted green ones. (from what i've seen anyway)

I'm surprised you didn't research this prior to purchasing gaylord quantities of E-scrap. Yes, there is a major difference but you need to look at the deal in the other direction. Your buyer will most likely be getting 8088, 8086 and probably some telecom in the mix. In quantity, they can yield a profitable average. Its the same principle as the sample a refinery takes to do an assay. If you have a large enough quantity and sort it well enough you develop a homogenous mix or average.
