Tried doing a search but could not find anything. What exactly is considered a telecom board?
These are the boards found in business telephone systems.
phone servers, switches and desk phones all have them, right?
Not sure about the desk phones themselves. But yes on servers and switches.
OK Thanks
desk phones do not count. Switches and servers yes.
This is what i call a telecom board

Hope it helps
So why the higher price?
Higher PM content im sure. Since thats what governs the price.
I may have stumbled on to a few of those the other day.
No may have about it. You have 3 boards in the plastic cases i pulled off the wall. Did you open that cabinet yet?
Yes, whole row of them 8-10, was in a hurry tho and didn't look too careful just dropped it at the warehouse and had to git. Unit is AT&T Definity (sp) some good stuff on Ebay.
computer servers would count as telecom grade??Quote:

Parttime, I would love to do that, but the time investment for me to gather hundreds of photos and classify them will not have any return for me.
Additionally, when we make changes in classifying boards we cant take the time to then create a new listing to notify everyone of it.
I think what everyone needs to understand is that precious metal recovery of boards is not black and white... it isn't like using a magnet to check for ferrous attachments on a nonferrous item...
Easy sells the boards to a company like ours that has the material run, ultimately we are the ones taking on the greatest risk. We have lost our asses several times and we have lost BIG several times. It all comes down to the law of averages and then passing that on to our customers in competitive rates.
For some of you, the equivalent of this question is having a customer tell you they have some equipment for pick up and you drive an hour to get there to pick up one TV. It wont keep you in business for long.
You said you had 7 grades. Personaly I think if you did class your 7 grades with photos you might get more business at least from this forum. But like you said in another post if your willing to sort and pay according you will be getting my next shipment anyway.
Each grade has several "classes"... again what we do is proprietary to our service. Provinding photos if something changes on our end will be "misleading" so we like to keep things categorized and simple, like many others do.
