    Is plotter another name for Printer?

    How did you determine they were worth more?

    yes and no, a plotter is an industrial sized printer, generally used for printing things like blueprints

    do an ebay/internet search of the boards you get in, the model number of the board is all you need
    I buy and sell all types of scrap and escrap. I buy specialty and hard to sell escrap. I buy resale items. PM me or contact me at jghilino@hotmail.com
    I AM ACTIVELY BUYING ESCRAP OF ALL TYPES. BOARDS, RAM, CPUS AND MUCH MORE

    I see that some sell for a pretty good penny....but got a quick question (when dont I! )

    I was noticing good prices on ebay with and without all the stuff still attached or packaged with it (cpu, ram, fan, heatsink etc)

    I was also noticing several with just the board and nothing else (no ram, cpu, headsink, etc)

    Also, I would imagine they sell as long as you can test them to ensure they work right? Or are you checking them all regardless?
