    Mother boards

    Have around 200 motherboards in the shop.waslooking at that stack thinking shipping is going to cost a fortune, since there are no buyers on this end. Was wonderering if it would just be better to just depopulated the boards and sell parts off individually. Throw some advice my way guys. Still have about 150 more towers to go thru. Have all the cards, ram, cpus seperate, i can ship them in flat rate boxes, but those motherboards got me thinking

    Terry is listed on here, he is a shipping broker. He is friendly and can work you up a great shipping rate. He has helped me in the past.

    If you don't end up with enough for Terry to help out you should look into Fed Ex. As long as you don't go over 60 pounds in a single box it can be pretty reasonable. Also, one of the main buyers on here can get a better deal through Fed EX and will pass that savings on to you.

    You can get to 69 lbs before FedEx nails you.
    Do some hunting on the forum and you should easily find a buyer and how to pack and ship to turn 200 lbs of Mobos into Cold Hard CA$H
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    What the others have said- talk with Terry- freight shipping is pretty cheap per pound, and not bad to do. Speaking of which, I really need to get on my pile of motherboards sitting and waiting to be pulled....

    You know if you can accumulate:
    1 gaylord of them.
    27 cans of purple spray paint.

    You might just hook in a "mark"
