I have not yet delivered a load to Boardsort since (he-they) began buying whole towers, breakdowns, networking equipment, etc., so I still have questions as to classes for some items. Previously I had acquired some Brocade networking, various routers and access points, which I had dismantled for the boards, as Boardsort did not buy the whole unit at the time. Here is a photo of a Dell PS 6210 unit, actually four units on one pallet. As you can see, each unit has a pull out power supply (with the chrome handle) on each side of the external LAN ports. These are simply oversided lowgrade power boards, weighing ten or 15 pounds each, just the usual, except for several broad flat blade gold connectors on the insertion end. Of course there is a main board, and maybe a backplane board as well. Each of these four units will weigh about fifty pounds, for a total weight of about 200 pounds as pictured. Obviously the shipping cost would be prohibitive as a unit. However, in a self-delivered load, a few units could be added to an already profitable load, without really incurring any extra expenses. Here is the critical question: are the units pictured here graded as "networking" at 39 cents per pound, or as "whole power supply" at 15 cents per pound, or should the power supply be pulled to sell whole separately, and the other networking boards removed from the metal shell of the main box?
