    Hard drives might be best sold on eBay depending on size. Whoever you choose to sell to, I'd recommend the following: first, weigh all known items keeping them grouped together. Create line items in a word document for each known grouping. Unknown value boards try to group LKQ together as best you can, photograph, weigh and rename photo whatever the weight is. Now create a desktop folder and name it the date of the shipment. Put your word document with mobo, ram, finger card, etc entries in this folder along with all photos of unknown value boards. This way when you get a vague payout sheet that shows you were paid mobo price for the majority of the shipment you'll know that certain previously unknown value boards are worth mobo price. Furthermore, just because you only have one slot processor to ship (for example) don't get lazy and fail to record it's weight. More than likely when you get that first check you will have forgotten that there should be a payment for 2.25 oz of slot processor. I speak from experience on that one. Additionally, I would suggest using USPO for shipment if you have the funds available up front. A box in the 40-50 lb range only costs approx. 35 cents a pound to ship (a little cheaper than Fedex) AND you have an officialweight to reconcile payment against. A prepaid Fedex label will not do this for you. The down side to using the post office is it will take 2-4 days longer to arrive. Big deal, at least you'll know exactly how many pounds you should be getting paid for, don't forget to deduct the empty box weight, generally 1.5-2.5 lbs for a box holding 50 pounds of boards. If this is clear as mud and I'm afraid that's likely the case, pm me and I'll walk you through it via telephone.
