You had 100 of these circuit boards, what would you do?

I'm sorry, I've tried at least 30 times to embed the images without success.
I guess what I'm asking is, would you remove copper bits and components making this a mid grade board (hopefully) or leave the bits on and sell as a low grade...presuming it is low to start with.
Perhaps with all the components + metal tongs (on backside) removed this would reach Peripheral Board grade?
The boards are from a Siemens controller device. I'd be really interested to hear your take on this easyrecycle.
cheers

If I was in your position, I would probably remove the copper. But I'm new to e-scapping, so I'm kinda curious what the people with more experience have to say. Just in case I ever come across this type of senerio. My thought process goes, if its worth more off the board then on, remove it.
Snip the contacts off.

Probably a little bit of silver on the contacts and the copper off the relays, but other than that I'm not seeing alot to make it a mid grade; just cause its green don't make it worth more than low grade. If you can figure a good way to get the silver looking plug-in thingie's off I'd do it cause their brass under that plating. That's where all your money is,,,
Thanks for the replies boys, I had a feeling those contacts might be silver, do the e buyers purchase them too? Mechanic, I clipped in half the plug in things and found they were stainless. Just for kicks I pulled off all the big components, and all the plug in things and it took me about a minute, so if I need to do that it can be done easily. I typed in example of a mid grade board into Google and it pulled up the board sort website has one there...looks a lot like that one..bigger of course...this is just wee :)

YAY! I thinks I did it IndianJoe + Admin :)
See, I looked close and I did not see any gold pins/fingers so except for the IC chips I don't know what would classify it as mid-grade. Maybe,,,
