Mechanic688, are you saying that its ok to leave everything on a low grade board or do you recommend taking it off?

It depends on how you value your time, in other words, could you be doing something better with your time. I pull transformers, alum.heatsinks, and IC chips off because their worth more than the low grade boards to me. If you don't want to mess with them then by all means leave it on, their paying by the lb. I get .20 lb locally.

But double green boards might not be more than mid grade at .40-.50 lb but I do not pull anything off there unless my buyer requests it.

Thanks for the useful information. Getting real close to having enough boards saved up to make my first sale. I'm looking forward to it. Its like a kid in a candy store.
