Looking for classifications as I get started on this project again.

A/D/F/G: I think some discussion awhile back was throwing these as connector ends.

B: Low telco

C: Low peripheral at least, possibly high

E: uhm... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

H: Is that the magnetic power port for an Apple laptop? Think it's midgrade regardless.

Sending C as Low Peripheral. Is a webcam from a laptop...I will likely have a few hundred of similar boards soon to send, so curious how I should sort them.
E. Dunno, is why I sent it. ;-)
H. Yes I believe it may be from a Mac.

Sorted but holding off on C and E for the moment.

I would put all the little questionable boards like that in a small box together with a note asking to confirm your grade. I'm going to do that with some stuff next time I ship a box in. I haven't had anything up or down graded yet so I don't know how that process works.

I have several boards set aside to be graded at some point, but haven't been high priority. I prefer to have them sorted and ready top be processed, but if I could instead send them in a bag to be graded and save a bunch of time, I would be fine having them graded upon arrival. Saves me time and effort.

I started to write a reply last night but felt I was getting a bit of a rant going so I stopped myself. Hopefully after a little time to organize my thoughts it's less ranty... maybe...

I don't send in much that hadn't been sorted already. I think the one thing I have were partially processed or mutilated CPUs/ICs that someone else got ahold of before me. I didn't get paid for them due to their condition but it was only a few ounces out of probably a couple hundred pounds or so of CPUs I've ever sent in.

For low grade, midgrade, peripheral, telco, motherboards and similar, if I'm not sure I inevitably throw it into the lower grade of what I'm thinking it might go as. If the board is particularly unique compared to anything I've seen before that's when I look into posting it here. None of those grades ever get sent to boardsort unsorted or separate from my quoted material. But that's just me. I can't speak for boardsort and having limited experience with sending unquoted material in I can't recommend that, I would recommend emailing Chris (boardsort) first if you're thinking about it. I do believe I have seen suggestions of grading the material on the lower end of what you think but then separating it from everything else so they can check it. For instance, sending a box of high peripheral but maybe a few boards were bordering low telco. Make sure everything is securely separated and make it easy for the boardsort employee to recognize those potential upgrades.

Noted. It's not that I have a lot of these odd boards, they have just not been a priority for me and that batch has a bunch in it now. It would be several posts on this forum and I am trying to limit the boards on any one post...so it would take some time. All about priorities and efficient use of time. No Worries, I will get to the eventually.

That's what I was trying to say, but you explained it much better. I am planning on putting several items in a box that are high grade periph and then a separate bag in the same box with items that will be weighed and sorted with the HGP but might be upgraded to something else. I think if all similar boards for multiple machines are together it makes sorting much easier.
