    The items that go into mid grade low would be the copper transistors - these have NO gold in them. They generally have 3 legs. Eproms and IC chips are just that. You can email us in and we can send over some photos for your review.

    Nice Prices. You will probably be getting my materials in about a week or two. I was offered high numbers a few weeks ago by a company out of Florida that had a warehouse in Memphis. The sales rep sounded very uncertain when talking about scrap. Well to make a long story short they were going to get a couple pallets from me until they retracted their first set of numbers and wouldn't quote any prices on scrap materials aside from processors. Are these numbers stable?

    I have PC and Server hard drives, 60 - 100 pieces. Would I get the best price if I remove and separate the hard drive boards from the drives and send in both as separate pieces or if I send in the complete drive?

    It says
    $13.50 Hard Drive Boards
    and
    $0.65 Hard Drives Complete
    $0.20 Hard Drives w/o Boards

    You would get the most for taking the boards off. and if you ONLY have these few items, it would make sense to probably just send him the boards and take the hard drives w/o boards to a local scrapyard as irony aluminum

    This is because to get the most money, you'll want to seperate, but after seperating, you only get $0.20/lb for the hdd without the board, hdd are heavy and it will likly cost more than $0.20/lb to ship them.

    So, if it were me. Boards come of and get mailed and will be pretty cheap since they are small and light. and then the remaining drives without boards take to local place and avoid shipping costs which would likly exceed their value

    I have probably ~500 drives that I am sitting on waiting to take the boards off of.... the screws are just so tiny and its so time consuming!

    Thanks for the confirmation of my thoughts. I too am not looking forward to all those tiny screws
