Motherboard Discussion Looking for buyer's responses and other perspectives as well.

so a motherboard is not a motherboard. if you require a certain mix of selective boards to meet a price, then you are using more than 1 price for motherboards. which is what the op was asking.

i will not be surprised to see a 3 grade standard for motherboards by end of 2nd quarter. the chinese boards, the rainbow colored boards, will wind up as a low grade. large socket, small socket and low grade motherboards. some of the buyers have already stopped buying the asian boards.

The thing I do not want is someone only selling the cheap ones sold to us as we will lower the price a little bit, but we will still buy them as motherboards when the lot is a mixed lot.

This is how we see it.....we have been refining boards for some time now....these chines boards where there before along with the colored boards....so why have a new pay scale? I don't know about you but I don't need or want 50 boxes of the same thing, IF (and this is a big IF) the lot is being sold as a mixed lot. In my neck of the woods, many customers I buy from do not want to spend the money on payroll so the lot is one product all the same. So we refine them the same...and pay the same. I just do not want someone sending me a truck load of chines boards if they expect a higher price I might have been paying prior as a mixed lot that contained a "good" mix of all types of boards. For the discerning customer who has separated out the various "different qualities or grades", then yes, this "would be" taken into consideration likewise. However, we do have very satisfied customers, both sellers, buyers and the refineries we work with.
