What Grade Can These Go For?

[Stargate1]

I have two boards that I am questionable about their grade. I have previously sold this type of board to boardsort.com and they gave me peripheral grade. One board is from a router/modem and I'm not sure about the other. They both have a gold cornered chip on them. One has RCA and coaxial plugs on it, and the other has an Ethernet plug and a tiny transformer on it. I know that if I remove certain things, I can up the value, as well as drop it. Should I bother removing this other junk and leave only the gold chip and other IC's and call it high-grade? Or should I just leave it all on and call it peripheral? Thanks for the assistance!

I'm surprised you haven't taken the time to look through our buyer's threads. We have buyers here that make Boardsort look like an amateur. Pick a few of them and send your pictures to them and ask them what the grade and price for those boards would be.

That right there is High mid grade . Depending on the buyer your looking at $1.30- $2.00 per lb. That one was a courtesy, I suggest you do as others have advised and do a little research in the future.

Do what they said. I have the time so I pull the metal off the board that you have in the first photo. This will lower the weight but may increase the $/pd and for me I can pack more in a box. The second board I normally pull off the green block and maybe the yellow one as well for the same reasons.

That's what I do I hope you are too busy to worry about such minor things. 73, Mike

The guys I sell to would pay $0.30 - $0.60 a pound.
There is too much heavy junk on those boards.

Even after cutting the "junk" off, those boards aren't very populated with "good stuff".

And that folks, is what you get, when you can't figure out the shipping game and or are unwilling to drive 24 miles.

I would agree that those are mid grade high or perpherial. I believe one of our large buyers would be at about $1.70 a pound.

These are mid grade high as stated above, I send these to Mario all day long for 2.20/lb.

Dang, .30 to .60 a pound? Do you carry a tube of KY so it doesn't hurt so much?

$1.90 from my local buyer.

Is Mario really that high right now? Working on a large load right now. Trying to figure out if I should ship now (LTL) or save a little more and ship FTL

[AuburnEwaste]

What he does in his spare time is none of my business, but that is the price he has listed on his buyers thread, and what I was most recently paid.

What the ### are you talking about ...
No one on this forum has yet to be able to solve the issue of very high shipping costs in *MY AREA* ( a couple folks have suggested MORE EXPENSIVE options ) ...
It's not 24 miles, or even 240 miles, but thanks for playing.
I would LOVE to know who buys those type of boards above "near junk" grade - I sure as [ expletive ] can't find anyone ( within reasonable shipping distance ) .

Two major buyers...CFCS pays 2.20, boardsort pays 1.40. Some places even just have a cable board grade...usually a bit higher or equal to small socket motherboard prices.

What's so hard to understand? They told you what buyer pays that much on here. Not sure why your not understanding.

An on the topic of shipping...my rates are just fine an I'm helluva lot further from Mario/Ewasted then you are if your location is right. If shipping is to much you need to either use..the buyer's shipping or set something up via Gorven. LTL shipping isn't very expensive if your sending pallets worth of stuff.

Heck along with being further east then just about most of you stateside...I also live on a sandbar 2 freaking miles out in the ocean. You'll forgive me for chuckling at your shipping being to high. Quite a few folks in PA ship to Mario/Ewasted in Ohio.

@Stargate... Like the others said, you should be getting mid-grade pricing at lest on those. I'd at lest take off the transformer, and the audio in/out puts. I'd also remove the metal bracket thingamajig. I see lots of goodies on there besides the chips. Some MLCC's, tantalum, an heck..even copper(transformer)!



I need to post some pics of a bunch of boards...curious how some of you would grade them. Should be entertaining...reckon I'll need to find that cable so I can transfer files over to the pc.

Sirscrapalot - Your Buyer Pricing May Vary. YBPMV!

In your other post you said the closest UPS/Fedex was 24 miles away.

It seems to me like a lot of people are trying to help you. There has been quite a few buyers names mentioned here and in your shipping thread also.

Gorven even posted in your other thread offering help on shipping. Did you call him???

I can't seem to find a perpherial board price for CFCS, I have also been just getting screwed by getting green board price for these at local scrap yards... Bd sort has them listed $1.40 lb. So even with my shipping costs $.80 lb. to Ohio, AVG shipping price for me. I would still make more money than the local yards! SMF is the BEST!!!! (Grabs a beer and heads outside to look thru box of green boards!)

mods...OP...someone with the power...Please delete or remove that second post.

It's blankness is driving me crazy!

Sirscrapalot - Off to make a youtube video on how to delete your old posts...just kidding. I don't do youtube.
