I have managed to collect about 12 PC's thus far
    Heat gun or maybe a used hair dryer but I can usually get all the stuff of value off by manually pulling/cutting them off. I don't know of too many small components (cap's-resistors-diodes) that have any value worth taking off. Low grade boards (usually brown on one side) are not worth shipping. Double green boards have about 8 different categories, that's where we come in by educating you about the different classes of boards.
    I just sold some greenies that paid low price of .25 a lb.
