Back in April, I shipped a FTL, which included 4 gaylords of power supplies. Most of these, probably 99% (assuming they had wires to begin with) had wires on them. I also included at least 30 of this type of server power supply. I chose to leave them as is. I also included some AC adapters without wire. These were encased in aluminum, instead of plastic. My buyer lumped everything in as Power supply with wire.
Had I cut the gold finger off, these could have been graded as Power Supply without Wire. This is 8 to 10 cents per pound lower. On a 5 pound power supply, 40 to 50 cents different. Gold fingers are about $20 per pound. Does anyone know what these finger weigh? I'm not sure it is worth the time, if you can get PSU with Wire price for them.
