I personally have stopped selling my scrap on Ebay because I found another place to sell all of my items that are gold bearing.

Currently I am receiving $4.30 per pound for motherboards and slot boards (video cards, sound cards, etc.)

For mixed ram I am getting $15.00 per pound
For Pentium 2 slot 1 processors I get $11.00 per pound (these are the ones that look like obese ram sticks)

For processors the price varies depending on the type...The price starts at $110.00 per pound and goes all the way down to $35.00 per pound.

Hard drive boards sell for $9.00 a pound

Boards from other drives, like CD or floppy drives, are considered mid-grade and only fetch about .50 per pound.

Low grade, brown top boards sell for about .30 per pound....These are generally the kind that is found inside monitors (CRT) and other electronic items like VCRs and DVD players.

The rest is pretty much standard scrap metal pricing and most goes to the scrap yard. I do not send my low grade boards in for processing to my new place because they are not worth shipping. But luckily my local scrap yard buys them for a decent price.

good afternoon I'm interested in upgrading electronic scrap prices; mothrboards, cell phone boards, gold fingers, hard boards, ram memory and processors. I owe the quick response since I have ability to get from 4000 to 6000 lbs per month

Here on Long Island they are not offering any real money from places I inquired of. $2.50 to $5.00 for rams, $4.00 to $7.00 for mother boards, up to $11.00 a lbs for CPU depending on which ones.

I think you better tell us who is paying $4 to $7 for motherboards. I'm sure I'm not the only one that will want to run a few thousand pounds of motherboards down there before they either smarten up or go out of business.
