Also, I have pulled satellite boards that are telecom and worth more than motherboards.

I hear ya... I think the only absolute in life is we will eventually die.

Every buyer is different so it pays to ask but, I remove all excess steel and aluminum and I also remove heavy stuff like transformers so I dont pay to ship that weight. I dont think I've been downgraded for that because the E-waste buyers dont want to pay for steel - they want to pay for the other stuff they get from those boards. No?
