The 3 boards on top look to be high telco in terms of scrap value.

Safe to say all those larger boards are High Tel. Try and get a picture of the front and back of each board, posting 1-6 boards per post; as best as you can. Everybody here will gladly interpret the class or grades of whatever is in question.

Looks like a pretty good payday, when you get it sorted into proper categories. I'm having problems with the photo taken from afar, where the Harddrives look like CPU size. and can't tell the relative size of the telco boards. Most of the time when I get a decent size telco, or mother board, they are a pound or more in weight. But even the small telco add dollars to the pay day quickly.

I honestly don’t know where to even begin and I have access to stuff like this on a daily basis..I’ve been just randomly picking up different things I think would be good for gold recovery and setting it aside. I’ve got several grams of gold I’ve recovered through chemicals then melted myself (about 3oz or so) but it’s hard working full time and running a store on eBay and mining gold…. So I thought I’d try to find a way to put these things to good use .. that’s why I’m here.. but I honestly have no idea what is what …if anyone could point me in the right direction.. videos I could watch … anything that would help.. I don’t like throwing anything away that could be of use to someone else. (I’ve already had to toss so much of this stuff)anyway 479:886:8337 please text first … if I don’t recognize # I normally don’t answer. .. ty in advance

Not gonna cover everything right now but:

There's a lot of broken and damaged stuff in the one picture; don't know if you got it like that or did it yourself but...I wouldn't remove the copper caps off CPUs, I did it once as an experiment with weights and prices and you lose money. Don't remove the gold pins off CD/DVD/Floppy drive boards. The floppies especially as that's basically all that brings up the value of the board.

You've got Gold and Silver fingered RAM; the silver, check if any of it says EDO; apparently it's a pretty good resell market in retaining value, just make sure if you sell on ebay, or other online markets, the price is comparable to other listings. Lostinlodos has commented on that before.

The 10 square-ish with gold fingers are all high telco.

The two bottom with gold fingers are Gold Fingered Cards; remove bracket and heatsink for the clean grade.

Awesome stuff. You seem busy. But. Put in quality time to the Boardsort website. Review all the videos and pictures. That will at least aid you in what to post. I'm pointing that out because you have multiple boards and items that fit in the same category. It's natually difficult to comment on a lay out of stuff as pictured. No problem. This forum makes an effort to comment. Now. You pointed out. You got a lot going on. That is a question of priorities. Throwing stuff in the trash as opposed to making some dollars. That's your call. Knowledge is power. Learn the site. Your flying blind. That's ok. Put in the time to learn. You may find your refining efforts and Ebay efforts being shadowed by just selling staight out to Boardsort. I am commenting only because I am thankful for this forum and that Boardsort exists. I had/have a hoard of electronic stuff. I'm in full retirement. I was ready to discard an accumulation of stuff. Then I started selling to Boardsort. So it was trash to cash. Put in the tine. Make the time. I feel you will be surprised balancing your other interests over selling to Boardsort. Hey. Trying to ID everything you posted. That's way out of being easy to comment on. Put in the study time. It can't hurt. Please excuse me if I seem a bit myopic in my comment. You came to this forum for a solution and I think you are being handed one.
Here to learn like everybody else.
