Hi I am looking for some help with identification and any advice on what and what not to remove (removable ic chips, copper coils and gold fingers on a card with chips). I am still not confident in battery identification I thank you very much for any advice

1) yes it's gold. They accept them but there's no class on the quote form. They'll need to be scanned on site. And they're not worth as much as they look, far less than pins, though more than the gold pin connector rate usually.

2) alc is IC class. Intel is green fibre no metal. Little wifi card: as is gold finger card. Remove the shield and it may or may not get a bump up. Big Dell board is peripheral

3) all peripheral.

4) both peripheral

5) peripheral
Midgrade
Midgrade

6) telco
Gold finger card
Peripheral

7) peripheral
Oh boy. This one is debatable. Technically it's a controller that happens to be using a full scale cpu but it's missing some key ingredients for the slot processor rate. For starters it's on the extended PCI bus, which is a lower quality WPA (fingers). I'm going to say telco.

You can remove as much as you want from low and midgrade boards.
Normally removing any non ceramic ICs from a board is going to hurt you unless you have massive scale (hundreds of lbs of ICs and boards) where offset rates on ICs are past the full board rate.
It's extremely unwise to remove ANYTHING that's soldered or glued to the board except:...!
Remove as much metal as you can. A single shield here or a tiny heat sink there isn't going to get complaints but a 2 inch aluminium sink is going to downgrade the board, and potentially the entire shipment, substantially. So always remove as much aluminium and steel as you possibly can.

On the flip side feel free to leave as much clean copper on the board. Boardsort will love you forever if you leave a solid 4 inch copper heatsink on a mobo! That's a joke btw! Solid copper heatsinks actually class as Cu #0 at the larger yards. They're worth $4-$6 per lb right now in some areas so sure, leave that baby on your $1.30 per lb motherboard. ;)
Side note boardsort does buy clean pure copper sinks at the national average rate. Take a look at the. Miscellaneous odds and ends to see where that is and if it's above or below your local rates.

Ceramic ICs/CPUs with gold pins that are in sockets should normally be removed. They are worth far more than board rates.

Gold cap chips, use a scale and do the math. Same with socketed telco boards. If the ICs and CPUs are worth more with a now peripheral board remove them. If not leave them on for the telco/gold cap chip board price.

Batteries.
If it came out of a cell phone, has hard plastic or metal shell, and gold contacts. And says any combination of LI or lithium: It's a cell phone battery.

If it came out of a laptop and has a hard plastic shell and is more than a few inches long, and says any combination of LI or lithium it's a laptop battery. Anything in between with GOLD contacts should have a photograph posted to the identification board.
Fyi many Apple and Samsung laptop batteries go as cell phone battery due to the tiny size. On the flip side some power go batteries (mobile power units) and UPS batteries can get laptop class despite their smaller than average size due to the extensive storage capacity and ability for recovery and repurposing.

Gfc
My own experience; on ultra high end cards like video cards and sound cards, that will clear the peripheral class without their fingers, are more valuable fingers off. The other 90% of cards out there are more valuable fingers on as the fingerless gold finger card class is usually lower than peripheral.
Cutting fingers off without someone here (admin, ranked seller etc) telling you to is very risky.
At the same time posting 50 boards and asking which ones to cut the fingers off of is not gonna get a reply, atleast not the reply you're looking for. ;)

Thank you, so much for the detailed reply. I am assuming I am good to cut the fingers off the 2 cards that graded as Telco without downgrade then? Thanks again I am still a little sketchy on identifying batteries for removal but this site has been great. I am not new to scrapping but I have just started getting boards this year and they are adding up fast. Thank you again and enjoy your holiday weekend.

Personally I wouldn't remove the fingers on either, the top older board would fall to peripheral. The controller without the fingers would probably fall into cd/DVD controller (again despite being an I/o board). That cpu is either stub pin or bga mounted. Without the pins it's the full combination makes the board valuable but I personally can't see it going higher than Cd/DVD without the fingers.
