    Okay ... well that's fair enough Mike. It is kind of apples and oranges.



    I know from experience that the 3.5" HDD's weigh about a pound each so i randomly pulled 10 logic boards out of the bin in my shop. I weighed them up and they came to .68lbs. I'm happy to run the numbers that way if that's the way you would prefer it done.

    10 Lbs HDD's complete gave me a net profit of fifty cents.

    10 Random hard drive boards gave me a net profit of 13.09

    The basic idea is that it generally works out better for me to ship higher value items. YMMV

    (Mario, please excuse your buyer's thread interruption. This would be one of those times when it would be helpful to have a mod around. That way it could be hived off into another thread.)
