Welcome to Boardsort™ - Learn - Sell - Profit -

I recently came into several tons of old electronics and computers need help sorting please.

On number five there is a square chip pressed into a socket. Is it profitable to take those out first?

1: Telecom
2: Telecom
3: Large socket motherboard
4: Telecom
5: Fingered card if the fingers are gold
6: Fingered card
7: Large socket motherboard, remove the RAM chips first
8: Telecom

Removing the chips in the sockets on 2 and 5 will reduce the weight and give you an ounce or two of IC chips. I would leave them in.

Should I remove gold fingers from the telecom boards first?

For picture 7 you can remove the three RAM's for a higher pay-out.

For picutre 8 you can remove the nine Motorola/Foreing chips at the bottom row. That pays $80 per pound. At worst, your circuit board could be downgraded to gold finger card. Those nine chips may give you like 2 oz which it'll be like $10 pay-out for the chips alone

I know the big dogs already weighed in but i would put every single board in telecom.

Boardsort will pay high grade/ telecom for all those, in my experience.

You can take those chips off, and be fine. Im only an hour away, in there now every week or two, God willing, and get paid high grade for any board w ic pop like that. Of course not so lucky to run into tons, but I'm looking! Lol.

Except #7 possibly

Thanks for the help. Prob b asking a lot for a while. I'm getting paid to clean out a hoarders home and storage buildings. Plus get to keep all the computers to part out. Already have removed 10 20ft trailer loads of computers and boards. Only about a third done.
