Hot Swap Power Supplies

I'm curious what the rest of you are doing with the hot swap power supplies. These are to older P2 and P3 servers, and don't seem to have much resale value on eBay. The board is green on both sides and has a nice gold finger on it, but other than that, it's just a power supply board with all of the heavy components. I have an email out to my buyer to see if it's worth shipping. In the past, I've stripped 2-3 boards clean and cut off the gold finger. I'm getting a larger quantity of these lately, and I'm asking myself if it's worth sending the board in whole. Anyone have any experience with these?

You're looking at 0.35-0.50/lb to the right buyer without fingers. If you ship freight, this is doable. I do not know what the fingers do to pricing. I just cut them off when I have a bunch saved, and into the power supply boards bin they go.

Snap the fingers sell the rest as power supplies without wire.

Depends on the quantity, to come out on the board or the whole power supply you need freight quantity, 1 pallet or Gaylord over 500#. one Gaylord full is about 3-4000 lbs.

If you break them all the way down, there is a lot of alu and copper. there are also some small riser boards full of MMLCs that should be hi/med grade.

We "Finger" the board, and strip out the rest. Metal, wire aluminium and copper. Anything we cant recycle goes in the bin to take to the county. They have a free recycling place that a business can take ewaste to. It's only open to businesses on certain days though. Them guys cringe when they see my boys roll in with a truck load of stuff :-)

I have a large computer box+ of these server power supplies, holding them for now and haven't "Finger"ed them yet...waiting to see what happens....
