Mike: I wish I had your Ewaste & Ebay knowledge. Just sayin.

I have not done the research but I doubt there is much value in them. Its still worth a good look around at the used sites and see if anyone is selling them. If they are what I expect there may not be alot of value in the board. Why? its a receive only device. Think of it as similar to a Directv receiver box. On the Directv receiver boxes I remove the excess steel and expect it to be a mid to high range board(below small socket mobo).

As far as knowledge I gained most of it here on the forum. I did show up with years of working on helos in the Marine Corps. I was educated in avionics, which is communication, navigation and electrical power and control for the helos. Also I hold an Extra Class ham radio license, KE4ILG. So I did bring some knowledge and interest to the fight but I commend those who share their ewaste and ebay knowledge here on the forum.

An additional thought on reselling this item. If it is what I hve suggested a microwave receiver used by a tv station then the market is extremely small. I doubt even the poorest tv station is willing to purchase a used receiver. But this is a very small possible market. Hobbist including ham radio operators who might want to experiment with this receiver.

I would suggest you figure out which flat rate USPS box it fits in, how much you wish you could get for it, add in postage, ebay and paypal expenses and list it for that amount. Make certain to use key words in your listing so it will be found in a search. I certainly would include amateur radio, ham radio, experimental, etc, in my listing and even just add them at the bottom of my description. I would pui it on a 10 day listing with three auto relist(an option that comes up automaticly). Sorry for the long winded comment but I'm still drinking coffee. Mike
