I am new to this and yet to send in a load because I need to understand proper board classification. Here are a few pics of some boards and my guess is that they are mid grade but hoping that I am wrong. Any transformers and other heat sinks, copper or easy to remove IC chips have been removed since I figured that those are worth more at local scrap yard. I would sell the IC here when i get enough. On the board with the LED screen (or is it a different type of screen) does it have to be removed first? Will it change the value/grade of that board?

Can any of the experts here tell me if I am doing this correctly? Would you do anything different?

Great forum here, learning a lot!

I think you are doing everything right. Board 1 and 2 are mid grade if green on both sides. You can still remove the ic chips with a small flat head screw driver to sell to boardsort. Just be gentle otherwise you could brake the ic chip. The other board I would say is peripheral only if you remove the LED screen

Thank you for your help. Been spending lots of time here reading other posts to help figure this stuff out! Great information here!
