    Nice, thanks!

    But, if I leave them all on the boards....
    How much I would get for that?

    And what about the other boards?

    They're not common, so I wouldn't be able to price them for you, unfortunately. You would have to talk to a buyer of this material to find out.

    Are those chips in sockets by any chance? Check the chip number and see if they have higher than scrap value. Or if there is a part number on the board itself, it may have higher than scrap value.

    #1 and #2 $4.75-$5.25 most likely

    #3 and #5 you would be lucky to get about $3

    #4 between $4-$4.50

    Its a wild guess comparing them to boards I have turned in and trying to adjust for dropping prices.

    He's not here in the USA so it'll be harder for him to use the buyers here.

    Hey Bear, thanks!!! SMF is an awesome place!!!

    I will focus on this business. Does USA has recycling plants or people usually export boards to other countries?
    I've seen people exporting boards, however, do know if you (americans) export all or extract gold from chips and other pieces.

    There's refiners here, but you'll have to find one, I don't know who they are, or which ones won't rip you off

    Finding a buyer for those boards wouldn't be a problem. Being in Venezuela and actually shipping those boards out of the country and getting dollars, that's a whole different matter!!
    Buena Suerte!

    Your prices and ours are going to be totally different, depending on what kind of refiners you have there. (if any) We have all kinds of pollution rules our refiners have to follow where some countries do not, and that also affects prices.

    Are higher-resolution images available? I think the bling all over the first board is just 20-pin RAM, so that might not have any extra collectible value (but it could if there's something unusual about it).

    Board #4 looks interesting, though... Wish I could read those big PGAs.
