Is it worth pulling EPROMS?

So, lets say they only costed you 90 minutes there, how much was the listing, not only in fees, but in time? The packing, and the shipping? Then, the possible chargebacks?
Now, lets go the simpler $5 route. You've got at least an hour and a half into these 90-100 chips that's worth $5, when most likely the boards you pulled them from bring $4, so you're making a dollar every hour and a half?
It just don't make sense to me

First of all i can pull the socketed ones out is less than 10 seconds with my bare fingers. Your blowing the ebay/problems thing way out of proportion. I average 1 return per 100 items sold. The shipping and fees are minimal also with a paypal merchant account and an ebay store, my fees average 10%. So say i sell 10 pounds of ic's for $100 after fees and shipping im still gonna clear $85 or $8.50 pound on them. If all i can get from a refiner is $4 im gonna go the ebay route every single time. Just saying.
