To receive the high grade price, yes you do,
it's just drive cages, they'll unscrew somewhere
Okay, thank you very much!
scrapping them must be easier than fixing them, having to put them back together. Sometimes they'll have a little clip or something hiding in there somewhere, nothing a good pry with a long screwdriver shouldn't fix ;)
my policy has been that if it aint soldered on then i take it off.
the smaller of the two has gold connectors. save them.
Yes on the connectors. They are part that will come off. save those
Got 'em. Thank you. Do they actually get sold with the gold connectors or as some kind of board? I'm close enough to ship gold connectors in a flat rate and a huge box off motherboards separately...
Easy is the closest buyer to you, which way are you shipping?
I usually box it all up and ship fed-ex to ewasted because his pricing is better especially on 50+lbs. Have not tried easy yet, will look into the cheaper shipping with lower pricing and see how I would make out. Am thinking of shipping the gold connectors in a flat rate box... not sure yet
There was a really good shipping thread on here not too long ago and now I can't find it. It compared the rates of usps and the other shippers. Does anyone know that link? Thanks in advance.
I don't know if this is the right one, or not.
Scrappette Glad to see you made it thru OK, we were worried.

I'm having some computer problems lately -so not as much time on the forum.
Thanks also for the thread.
I'm up here on the north end of the state, the damage was in southern Ind. Henryville was almost totally wiped out. They all need our prayers right about now,,,Quote:

Those two metal cages with us would be fine left on and do not need to be removed to be called high grade.
Thanks Easy. I saw the updated pricing. Should have a shipment together next week and I think I will give you a try...
I would put the motherboards in the box and put the gold connectors on the side cheaper if you ship all you can in one boxQuote:

Is that because it's slanted ??? Can be a little hard to read if I'm tired.Quote:

No, it's trying to get to print in the narrow space between the quote box and the bottom of the post if there is more than one line is sometimes challenging - at least for me.
????? Scrapette, hit the enter button and it does the new paragraph thing. Or did I misunderstand your post? Mike.
Are you talking about the reply box, or once it's posted?
???????????? What did I miss there,,??Quote:

No, I was talking about when something is posted and it ends up in one of those boxes with a red arrow . If there is a fixed quote above it, then you have to try to move the text up or down to read it. Maybe it is just me or my computer. But thanks for the attempts to help.
But the box above with the arrow ( I guess it always the last one in the thread?) is bigger than usual and so easier to read.
