Thanks for the help! I looked at the guides posted with the pricing chart on the site but they weren't helpful to me. Does board sort buy components that are pulled other than CPUs? Also is there a forum in here somewhere that could help identify what the different components are? I dot know what most of the parts on these boards are and what's worth money and what's junk. Thanks for all the help!
The microchips on the boards can come off, those are $3.50 per pound at the time of this posting.
The transformers which are the copper coils can come off, and can be taken to a local scrapyard for a copper bearing motor/transformer price, or you can take them apart and get #2 copper prices for the wire that you take off of them, which is what I do. The gold connector ends on the flat wire can go with gold fingers, which are $30 per pound at the time of this posting. The aluminum blocks can come off and sold as cast aluminum. There are some excellent guides on youtube too,
youtube videoHe has some excellent guides, but don't remove anything from the peripheral boards or you will downgrade them.
