Hello, glad to be here.

I currently have a lot of power supplies. After checking the payout and comparing it to the freight cost with usps I would not come out making anything. Any suggestions? I know some people remove the boards and get more, is that possible here?

I sell my power supplies as breakage or copper bearing motor locally. I only keep for shipping everything I don't get a good price in my area. Basically all boards that are peripheral and higher. Little things like wire, cell phone batteries, low and mid grade and so isn't worth shipping.

I got a quote for shipping 1,000 lbs for about $300.00 so I am accumulating that much stuff to get the shipping at a very reasonable rate per pound. Fedex, UPS and USPS are too high for what the prices are for the boards.

If I took the power supplies apart and sold the boards here, what do they grade at?

You are far better off leaving the PS's intact. Thr board inside is low grade 99% of the time.
