your best bet is to make an account on his website and send pics. there are thousands of different boards that fit your description, probably many different ways the wires are connected.

I know we're not supposed to answer for the buyers, and please correct me if I'm wrong Ewasted. I believe this is the correct rule of thumb. This information is from another ewaste buyer's website, NOT Ewasted, but they have good photos.

-A standard Small Socket Motherboard will have a measurement of 1 and 1/2 inches or smaller from pinhole to pinhole. Always measure from the pin holes and not the enclosure itself.
-A standard Large Socket Motherboard will have a measurement of 1 and 3/4 inches or more from pinhole to pinhole. Always measure from the pin holes and not the enclosure itself.

Correct. However the large socket also includes slot motherboards. Basically if it looks like the photo on the bottom or is an older motherboard (large socket dimensionally) then it is classified as such. All others are small socket.

Just to make sure if you get the prepaid shipping label it's for Fedex ground right? It would be alot more expensive if it was express saver or 2 day.

**Brrrimcold** · 09-21-2014, 11:54 AM

When dealing with motherboards, what am I supposed to remove? And are the minimum weights on cpus for the lot, or individual types?

Thanks once again to cashforcomputerscrap.com. You exceded expectations again.

What is your business name? I am trying to look you up on the R2 site.

Looks like prices went down again... Gold is down... Crazy when you look at the old prices when gold was up, up, up. I will keep adding to the pile of stuff I am saving.

They'll bounce back. I may just send mobos in the next shipment to clear space and save the RAM and fingerboards and whatnot until the prices pull out of their dive

**Jax** · 10-01-2014, 09:09 PM

I hope they bounce quick. I have 300# boxed up ready to ship out. Job keeps me traveling so I'm limited on getting it shipped out

**AJR** · 10-05-2014, 01:48 PM

Figured I would ask ahead of time before I got dinged for sorting fees...

I have about 50 processors that i have sorted out into general groups (fiber, ceramic, etc). I have placed the like ones in baggies, but may have 2 types in one baggie. For example, I have 15 AMD Sempron/Athlon processors in one bag that are stacked in like piles, but mixed green/brown/ceramic in the same baggie. I'm sure you look at most of the processors to verify what they are, but am I going to be charged a "sorting fee" if they pull out 2 or 3 different types from 1 ziploc bag? Others like the slot processors, PIII green fiber, and P4 with heatsink are in larger quantity and separated.

Thanks.

Email for quickest response although I doubt they are working on Sunday.

**AJR** · 10-05-2014, 02:22 PM

I also have some misc boards that I'm not sure where to categorize.

First pic is a PDA board from a Palm M515. What would the be sorted as?

Second pic are laptop NIC cards (left is a broadcom from a pc and right is an AirPort Extreme from a MacBook) that go into the board like memory. Are they considered standard finger boards or can they be put in with memory?

Thanks again.

**mrsamsonite** · 10-10-2014, 09:17 AM

It felt good to send another package in, its been awhile.

Please email these over. Trying to keep the thread for reviews as it is grown pretty large.

Thanks!

Am I missin something?

Yesterday I did the request shipping label via your site, but I still haven't received an email or anything yet. Should I try again?

**parttimescrapperMD** · 10-11-2014, 07:57 AM

Check your spam folder or wait until Monday. Being so close to the weekend, they may not have had time to process your request. Good luck, I have been very happy with my dealing with them. If you don't see it Monday, try the live chat feature on their website

Went down to and dropped off some e-scrap. Mario and his crew went through it quickly on the spot and I drove away and hour and half later with a nice check in my pocket. Couldn't have been more pleased with the service I received.
