As far as the tantalum being removed I guess its all on the buyer. I wouldnt downgrade because I dont save any to sell, however if say DVR boards, or cable or sat receiver boards in general are periph all day, anywhere, thats legit anyway, but they are always good for flatpacks, which I do save and sell, and I can see when they've been removed. If a periph board had only one and it was removed, and usually in consumer electronics theres not usually healthy chip pop w flatpacks too, in cable or sat boards anyway, but take the only flatpacks I'll down grade to mid grade. Leave me one and I'm cool. Boardsort doesn't down grade, unless there are no other chips really. So it just depends what the buyer is looking for. I make a killing off of flatpacks! I go spend $200 on load of towers and boards from the repair shop and the flatpacks more than cover that cost. Not really w Boardsort, although they do pay $30/lb, which isnt too bad. Just know ur buyer before depopin ur board in anyway.
