Does it make any sense to pull the board from the gold plated chunk of metal? And maybe even sell them separately? I'm assuming the metal is some sort of heat sink--(copper?) plated with gold. The board is probably a high grade telecom board, so you know what to expect for that.



I'm thinking that there are experienced board buyers who can probably tell what to pay for the board but unless you separate the metal piece and give the dimensions of it people are guessing on how much gold plate is on the metal. Is it plated on all sides?

Definitely board porn, though!!
