Storage Locker Full of Computer Scrap . . . Any Advice?

I will try to put a YouTube clip in here, not sure if the form functionality allow for it.

But any suggestions on what to do with it would be appreciated. I'd like to move it along but having never sold computer scrap I'm not sure how to best go about it. I've spoken with one company in Oregon who will take it, process it, and pay based on what they see . . . but I have no idea if they are reputable or if that's the best way to get the best price.

A lot of the stuff in here is dated 1986 / 1987 or early 90's. So I assume that is the 'better' kind of e-scrap, right?

Anyway, I'll try to post the clip so you know what the heck I'm talking about and I'd love to hear your suggestions.

The guy also had a lot of scrap metal in there, I assume I just take that to the local scrap yard.

Located in Northern California.

Not worth much, but feel free to send it my way.

All kidding aside, you have a large mix of items there. Everything from gold plated pins, to telecom, motherboards, finger cards, all the way down to low grade boards worth 10 cents a pound. You will need to do a lot of reading thru the old threads to learn how to identify the boards and what is worth sending to one of our buyers. Research the buyers thread and find our top buyers.
