Cable / Satellite boxes as a whole is about Cdn 20¢ / lb at my neck of the woods. If you remove the boards from the boxes, Boardsort said on their forums that they buy them as pheriphral boards @ USD 1.25 / lb

NEW TO SCRAPPING? READ THIS: Build up your horde of magnetic and non-magnetic metals in two piles until you have a better understanding of the business. Magnetic material has low value and is mostly always steel / shred / short iron. Read old threads about non-magnetic metals and ewaste (and how to sort them), but don't forget that they generally have absolutely no tolerance for contamination (screw / iron / foreign material).

Not sure it is really cost-effective to ship them down to the U.S., but I forget to mention that I've got a new local buyer for circuit boards. The issue is they don't pay much. It would buy them between 20¢ and 50¢ per pound.Originally Posted by CopperMiner

I think i've been getting mid grade high for mine. I remove the co-ax & RCA connectors along with as much other junk on the board that's easy to remove.
If you've got 120 VAC changing to 12 VDC happening on the board it's a good idea snip off that section with sheet metal cutters.
Send along the highest quality boards you can and shipping costs don't take as much of a bite out of the total payout.
