Say $.20. when you break it apart you get $.10 for the steel caseing and $2.50 for the copper. One went up other went down. To me for one price to go down and other staying the same seems to me someone is trying to rip the little guy off.
no, the old boards still have the same yield as they have had before all of these newer boards came along. Now if they were to continue taking mixed then the overall price would have to go down reflecting this. but rather than do that, they leave the good boards at the higher price where they were to begin with and have to seperate the lower grade and pay accordingly.
