Major motherboard price drop?

Its funny you mention Alter, that is the company I am referring to in the original post. I wonder how bad their margin must be to offer $.75/lb for motherboards.

alter works on really small margins. they just got the same dismal settlement for low grade motherboards that i got. less than half the return of standard mb's.

alter is a huge international company. they can and will turn down anything that does make their required margin. they move enough volume that they will still produce a profitable revenue.

most are grading motherboards now. soon everyone will be. and some recyclers do not take them at all. i am currently at $1.75/lb for low grade mb's and will probably drop that again.

the only way the price of these boards will go up is if gold goes up.
