(Continuation of my previous post)

I think these would be low grade, though the one in the middle I question a little.

For the brown boards, would it be better to just trim off the IC chips?

Okay sir, the only board I see here that I feel qualifies as a low grade board is the top left most brown board. And on boards like these "mostly power supply boards" you would be better off removing anything of true value such as IC's and gold connectors. The other brown boards here would either be mid grade or low grade peripheral. As for the blue boards here, the bigger one in the middle would be high grade periph. The small one (if you don't remove the fingers) would be CGF (clean gold finger card) and probably high grade periph (if you do remove the fingers). If you want the advice from someone who is pretty new to Boardsort (ME), but has learned a ton in the last few months, if I were you, I would read through a bunch of the older posts in this category as they will help you to get a pretty good handle on what boards go where. Limit the amount of boards per post to around 4. The more boards the harder it is to grade, and you can make as many posts as you want. Take really good pics to post (which you do) so that they can all be clearly seen. The awesome guys that work at boardsort have a limited amount of time to devote to grading these posts, so the easier we make it for them the better. These are just my opinions and I do not work for Boardsort. Thank you... Mal P.S. The little black board, I have no idea.

mouse boards are a rare exception to the brown board rule here
they are high peripheral

another exception to the rule of brown boards being low grade are 3-1/2" floppy drive boards as long as they have gold pins.

The trackpads I believe are high peripheral.
