Flatpack IC memory chips per pound price

First: I used the 1 inch chisel that mechanic recommended. It did the job, BUT. The IC chip still had the strip of lowgrade attached to it by the soldered pins on the back. Will that reduce value? Obviously this is a question for my buyer. But i figured since their are enough buyers here, i should get a decent answer.

The other thing you might try is use the small chisel on the end of the chip and kind of tap it under the chip and it might start lifting/pulling the legs loose. That works about 50% of the time. On the few stubborn ones you can use a needlenose to break off the board that was attached. Don't worry about them being broken, your not selling them for repair purposes, just my opinion.
