Welcome to Boardsort™ - Learn - Sell - Profit -

I have a few questions regarding categorization on the following few items I am planning on sending, if they are accepted and what the rates for them would be:

1. Flat Pack Chips (Non-BGA) - would these just go as IC Chips, or is there a special category for them?

2. Mixed IC/Flatpack/BGA chips - I have a small bag of unsorted chips, is there a set rate for something unsorted like this?

3. Cast Aluminum - a few clean cast heat sinks and some other small clean bits of cast aluminum, will they buy this and is there a set rate?

4. Regarding pinless CPUs specifically, is there a separate price for CPUs with the metal backing on or removed, or do they all go at the same rate.

5. Apple Motherboard (see attached image) - not sure what category this would fall into.

Any help would be appreciated!

1, if they aren't bga then likely they fall under IC but as requested, pictures.

2 if you mix anything that doesn't have a set price, assume lowest price at best. At worst it'll fall under Boardsort's no e-soup policy and incur sorting fees

3. See Austin's

4. Unless you you can get an unrealistically good price on the copper, do not do this. More often than not you will damage the chip which in turn lowers the value and these CPUs are already so low profile you're not gaining a volume advantage when packing.

5. That's dual socket...interesting
