I have over a dozen network switch and routers to strip of goodies. Are the boards worth anything more than mid grade? What about the bank of cat 5 connector female slots? Can I trim the pcb to get just the slots and send them in for a gold price? I suspect there is a lot of gold in those connectors

low telecom easily.

don't remove those connectors unless you want to downgrade the board. if you did remove them they would sell as connector ends which is significantly less $$ than telco.

“ I have over a dozen network switch and routers to strip of goodies”

May need more clarification of this statement before anyone can give a proper grade. What goodies do you plan to strip. If you feel you must, then do it and repost pics of what you are trying to sell to boardsort. They may not want it if it has no goodies.
