First load of E-scrap material Hooray

Seen an add on kijiji of a gentelmen giving away a bunch of old computers, cd/dvd drives, floppy drives and power supplys today. Sent him an email and twenty miniutes latter had a car load of goodies. Got 6 towers (no Processors, ram, or HD's) 12 cd/dvd drives, half dozen floppys, a bunch of power supplys, and an old scanner printer unit. gonna tear into this over the next few days and see if I can get a few bucks out of this pile. I'm wondering if I should remove as much as possible from the boards to sell seperate, or just take off the big stuff and leave them like that. Has anyone ever had a problem selling boards that are damaged a bit from taking the alum heat sinks and stuff off? I can't seem to get these things off with out pulling little parts of the board with it.

LEave the heatsinks that are on the board on the board. Why get paid $.50 for the heatsink when you can leave it on the board and get paid $4.00 for it. GO read my post about computer scrapping.

Heatsinks are weight, and the buyers pay by the pound.

That's a good start, and look thru here for some escrap buyers and compare prices/convenience, read up before you destroy something by breaking down too far.
