    I would print out a couple of price sheets from the buyers on the forum, that way if he tries to low ball you after telling you he'll pay better yada,yada then you have something factual to show him and say "match that." Kind of a put up or shut up deal.

    My yard only pays $ .15/lb for boards too... he's prefer not to buy them and he resells them to this other scrapper guy who comes by like once a year or so and sorts them out and sells them somewhere else.

    last winter I had a little side job of stripping down old cellular switching units that were built by nortel.. I could tell the the all the circuits were gold and lots of gold pins... at the time, I didn't know anyone near me to get a better price.... I still don't up here in British Columbia.... I really should call AMEX down in Vancouver area to see if they give a bit better of a deal... but I just toss all my boards into one big bin now... anything from comunications on down to the little circuit board inside your window a/c unit or pretty much anything with some kind of board in it.
