On the board, trimming the fingers off, leaves you with a still high telecom board and gold fingers so trimming would return best value.
What to do with all your stuff? A lot of people go nuts at the thought of gold and the high scrap prices. However. Retro consoles are still worth money, for parts or not. The return of selling online will outweigh the return of selling as scrap boards and having trash outside of that. Think of it this way, how many of those cartridge boards to reach a pound? 7 dollars is all you get for as many as it takes. Then factor in how many cartridges for a pound of gold fingers. 40 bucks is what you would get. I haven't kept up with that age of games but I know n64 games go for (mostly) 10-20 a piece and quite often more. Even if after fees and shipping, you could net 3 dollars average per piece, you're making more selling them then you are scrapping.
Even selling everything as a lot may be a great way to go but figure out what works best for you. I do lots of ebay sales already so it makes sense to go that route for me.
