What he said is right.
But as ewasted said. There is alittle bit more over all for those boards. But its not worth sending it as its own lot when it can be refined with the newer type boards just as easy. The added profit of the old boards is not HUGE and most likely is not even a full penny from my findings.
There is just a good bit of waste items like plastic and metal on them that adds to the over all weight of the board that makes them inline with newer boards.
