Hey I was just wondering I hear a lot to talk on here every now and again about air cards and a few other certain types of ic chips that are not listed in the current payout list that board sort puts out everyday . I was wondering if anybody had a more extensive or complete list that they could share with me. I dont reallt want to bombard t with 50 questions listing off every single piece of E-Waste I can think of that isn't listed there figured maybe somebody could just make it easy. Thanks in advance

SIM cards (generally under 50c per lb)

Gold pins. Paid after reception by boardsort and can’t be quoted by sight via photos They test the pins, pegs, etc for all materials present and pay a rate based on the actual metals content gold pins range all over the place. From under $1 per pound to over $10.

Air cards. Comes from the WiFi “air card” units. Very unique and rarely encountered non classable cards and boards that are above telco and below green fibre in value. Includes SOME WiFi and cellular cards, oversized micro cpu boards with socket pins, etc.

Bizarre CPUs. No not rare. We’re looking at one off and test stuff. Out of class engineering samples. Also note test or engineering sample stamping on the chip doesn’t make it different than the standard class.

Those last two are really rare. A quick search on the threads will show far more people ask about them than have a qualifying board. And for both most non-industry-insiders are more likely to see big foot being abducted by aliens than come across a qualifying board.

I’ve had one aircard ever. And the few test sample chips I sent that got their own rate were from a surplus auction.

One item that is not listed on the payout list are your wifi cards and laptop gold finger cards (not laptop RAM). I had a batch that I took in around Thanksgiving and was paid I believe $2/pound for the collection I had.
