What/how to be rewarded with the best return. I haven't really found solid answers to many of my wonderings. I've seen a question asked about removing transformers or brackets from some boards, and seen replies like "Why would you do that when you're getting paid by the pound".. I'm another one that would take the extra time to remove specific items if it were rewarded and I knew exactly what was preferred.
    I for another would appreciate insight from the buyers. THANKS!
    if you have enough volume, most buyers would probably negotiate a price for extra clean boards or whatever.

    True as that may be, the "would probably" part still has me mystified. I really wish we could get an across the board answer. Yes, I know I can ask my buyer. But sometimes it can be something I never considered because I just didn't know any different.

    Maybe it's just me, but I'm starting to think we won't see any of the buyers piping in on this thread. Nothing against them if they don't; to the contrary I can understand why they might be reluctant to do so.
