    Jghillno brings up a great point on grading/pricing motherboards...but it HEAVILLY depends on your buyer. Here's why:

    Almost everyone now differentiates between #1 and #2 mother boards, the issue is how they make that distinction. Many buyers adopt the "green board" vs "rainbow board" approach else other sort based on the processor (p3 and older vs. p4 and newer). Which method is correct? Unless you have the ability to send a full container load to a smelter, you will never know.



    As someone who sells motherboards rather than refines them, this gives you an opportunity to actually sell three grades of motherboards:

    P3 and older, all colors
    P4 and newer, green
    P4 and newer, rainbow

    My yard subscribes to the socket size method, both for buying and selling.
