My fairly large E-Scrap load for easyrecycle. (6 pics) Pretty neat!

To start off, this is only about half of the full load. The other stuff is midgrade (or Pop-B as myself and my yards call it), very small amount of lowgrade, and other random boards. This is just the cream of the crop. This represents about 1 weeks worth of "good stuff" i process at my shop. I've always dealt local, but it's time i branch out.

I have 2 small piles of motherboards, and yes, 2 of those boards are those "red" motherboards buyers hate. I then have a nice pile of a weird long board with 5 nice gold IC chips soldered to the board. You can see the board with the large square "packeged power" sticker on it. Very curious as to what it is. Have 2 of those boards. Also, i have 2 medium sized boards that i'm grouping with my ram. They both came out of an old IBM (as did much of what you're looking at), but they look like quality ram. I then have my pile of ceramic processors with gold pins.

What i'm most curious about is the pile of 57 silver colored ceramic.....things, with gold pins. Also my large pile of mostly gold IC chips. Very curious about the 2 large boards with what all my yards have told me is gold, not copper. I know that many times when theirs that big amount, it's mainly copper, but in their opinion it's not. We'll see. Not exactly holding my breathe on that one.

Anyway, please look at all the pictures and tell me what yall think. Not gloating or anything, just wanted to share this with you all.

Oh, and pretty much everything here, minus the 2 piles of mother boards/processors/finger cards came out of 60's-70's IBM equipment.

Wow, VERY sexy load there. Nice mix of great stuff.

I'm dying here of curiosity...what do the silver color chips (of which you have a pile of) say on them? Any markings?

Oh nevermind I clicked the pic for a larger version.

Hey Hoss, I found two threads on the CPU forums about these IBM chips. Hopefully they can be of some help to you - pretty sure it's the same thing you have:

and here

Sweet load. Sexy it is! The older the sexier I say! Keep us posted after you see Easy. I've only done one load and it went to EasyRecycle and I have no reason why I wouldn't go again. I hope to see him in a month or two. My goal is to take over 4000 lbs my next load. 1000 being of motherboards alone. I'm sitting on over 600 right now. When I do decide to ship I plan on posting step by step. Can't wait!

Appreciate the links. And appreciate the info on easy. Good to know that he can handle larger amounts.

I'm excited about this load i have. But i'm also excited about any information yall can give me.

Did some research on the IC chips and the IBM chips. Some of the medium sized gold IC's go for around $40 a piece on ebay. Shoot i have 100 or so. The IBM's.....eh. its difficult to find specific info. They could be worth $1 a piece, or they could be worth $100 a piece. Just never know.

I just filled up 2 large flat rate boxes. And still need more. So were looking at $30 and change to ship these boxes to easy. Hope it's worth it.

A lot of those boards look to be telecom grade from what I could see. Good luck,,,

I have a woodie :)

I was wondering if 1 large box would be cheaper than 2 or 3 flat rate.
Hoss, do you have enough to put in a gaylord, I think maybe Easy could work with you here;

Of course thats what I ment :). I had 2 of those one chrysler and one willys.

I posted a thread recently with those IBM chips.

How many pounds are you sporting total? I'm thinking about prepping a load for easy myself right now.

I never thought I would say this but I can't help it "NICEWOODIES"

If your into those style of cars, here you go; Woody Wagon 2008 Pics Page 1

Sorry to hijack,,,,

If it was me i would pull of every one of those gold IC chips. now way are you gonna get new 80 something a pound of that board.

I would remove all of the GOLD cap chips, and seperate the ones in the last pic,,,
They are worth $140.00 --$150.00 Contact goldchipbuyer

I have shipped a dozen or so boxes to Easy, and the first one I shipped using flat rate...That's not worth it in my opinion... Now I use just some medium size boxes that hold about up to 40-50 lbs, and shipping isn't much more than flat rate ($20-$25).

I believe he only pays that price with full gold legs. You will have to ask him how much he will pay with partial or no gold legs.

In the top picture, the chips that have the aluminum cover and green epoxy on the bottom, check to see if they are IBM. IBM used to use chips like that and they would often contain palladium.

The IBM chips you guys are referring to. How are you removing them from the boards. I just broke it to pieces trying to pry under it...

If they are soldered in then leave them or de-solder them. It would depend on what would pay best for the effort. This would be answered by your buyer and how much you value your time. Mike.
