Retirement coming soon!?!

Sold some RAM, boards, CPU's, laptops and batteries to TJ today. He's great to work with and has competitive prices. I highly recommend him!

Sorry, no. I only buy the complete boards. Thanks for asking though!

I had one of those from a clean out and the yard wouldn't take it because it's property of the beverage company.

Welcome to SMF from a fellow Cheesehead!

Yes, floppy drive boards that are brown on one side, green on the other. And no, it's best if they're not broken. If they're broken I would still pay for the part with the gold connector and IC's...

Yeah, my living room is full of computers and boxes of stuff lol

I was only kidding! Just thought it was funny seeing it piled on the stove, I have the same problem with limited space...

Thanks guys, the cpu's are soldered on the board and was attached to the MB like a finger card. Wondering if I should cut the cpu's off the board or what? Most of the value is in the cpu's and even...

Here's the link for everyone. Hardened steel not Chinese garbage.

Wiha 71553 Torx Insert Bit T8 x 25mm 2 Pk

I just bought some T8's from KC Tool a month ago, they're made in Germany and holding up well so far. You should be able to find them via google and if not I can get you the website.

Good score! In those last few pictures are you getting ready to melt that stuff down on the stove? lol You could probably fit more reader arms in a box if you melted them into a blob. I would ask...

Yeah, I'll let Mario sort it out. I was most curious about the processor board.

No, I don't sell on eBay. No time for that but thanks for the tip. Would someone buy them for gold refining or collecting? I'm guessing I should've left the heat sink on the cpu but then I wouldn't...

These came out of an old Intel computer and I'm curious how they would be graded.

First picture is the MB, is it more than just a high grade MB? Lots of IC's on it.

Second picture is a board...

You may be in a competitive market with board prices already at tight margins. How do their prices compare to the buyers here or based off spot prices? The yard can only pay so much and still stay...

Thanks again Mike, nice doing business with you!

Just received the check for my first shipment, thanks for the great service and fast payment! I look forward to doing business with you in the future.

Then it's worth it to cut them off. Most of the chrome plated coax ends are brass too if you check.

Unless you have a lot of it it's not worth cutting the ends off. I mix some in w/ my #2 insulated and get $.90-something/lb. vs. $.60-something/lb. for the brass breakage cut-offs. Every yard is...

Thanks Ken, the feeling's mutual. I learned from you as well! It's all about networking and sharing ideas. We'll get together again soon and anyone else is free to join us but you might need a...

Thanks for the great service and fast payment! I look forward to doing business with you in the future.

Yesterday I met Mudlucky (Ken) at the scrap yard, he is a great guy and it would not have been possible without SMF. This forum is an excellent resource for information and networking and I just...

Thanks for the great service and fast payment! I look forward to working with you again in the future.

I deal with OCD too, everything has to be organized and clean. Drives me crazy when I get odd-shaped stuff that doesn't fit with the others. When it starts getting in my way I go nuts on it with...
