I found a quick way to remove the small heatsink from cpu's. Taking them apart and selling them seperate you will make more money just a matter of how quick you are and what your time is worth. Every once in awhile you will get a heatsink with gold underneath the cap.(added bonus, usually from some P4 and celeron D) I will attach some pictures one was previously posted by jghilino showing the gold cap. Basically you will need a descent sized magnet to hold the cpu in place so that you can hit the heat sink downward to remove it.

Below is a price comparison using Ewasted prices for cpus hopefully he wont mind.

$6.40lb Green Fiber with Heatsink - Pins
11.4oz*6.40= $4.56
$16.00lb Green/Brown Fiber without Heatsink
4.4oz*16= $4.40
#2 Copper(tinned 14awg or larger/paint $2.25/lb
Im not an expert on what grade this would be considered they are solid cooper that is tinned I believe.(if Im wrond please advise)
7oz* 2.25/lb= .98
4.40+.98= $5.38 seperated
VS
$4.56 whole
Thats .82 cents more from 14 cpus approx 6 cents more per cpu not alot more profit for the work but it is pretty easy and can be done quickly. If my values for copper or fiber cpus are low than it could be worth it.
