    I'm a bit confused on pricing.........At current pricing for motherboards this is basically scrap price and your hard drive pricing is confusing as well..........07 cents per 100 gb?..........so a 500gb is .35 cents each........Please clarify

    Good Morning Mike,

    The HDD pricing is $.70 per 100gb not $.07.

    And if you are getting $4.50/lb for P4 motherboards, please let me know who you are selling to and I would love to sell them my motherboard scrap!

    For my last 2 lots of unsorted i-series motherboards my breakdown was VERY close to 5% H55 and the rest were H61, 81, and 110. The first lot was 5,097 motherboards and the second lot was 1,079 units. They were both so close to 5% that I use that as my benchmark for unsorted gaylords/pallets worth of i-series boards.

    Fair enough.....Sorry for misunderstanding but the boards you are looking for are not P4 they are newer boards correct?.........To me P4 boards means Pentium 4........Sorry I think we are trying to discuss the same things the pricing is just a little confusing the way it is listed........Alot of people buy the parts by the each and the scrap by the lb........You are buying even the reusable stuff by the pound I assume......It's all good thanks for any clarification

    Hey Mike,

    I'm using P4 interchangeably with "small or metal socket green board" as pictured on boardsort.com. "Mixed P4" is the category that we use when we sort them- either way, same price for scrap regardless. I am not buying by the pound. I am buying by the individual motherboard containing those chipsets.

    Assuming the average motherboard weighs very close to 1lb, I could see the confusion when discussing scrap vs the price I am offering. I am most interested in buying things for more than scrap value, which is why I am buying a motherboard that contains a H55 chipset for $2.50, but the other three for $4.50. And if the same board has an X99 chipset, $6.50. So even though the weight has remained at that same 1lb constant, the price is changing based on the chipset. I hope that clarifies any confusion!

    Thanks for asking
    Danny
