    Floppy Drive Boards

    It seems like the buyers only want the cd/dvd drives, where do I sell these? Should I just pull off the gold pins and throw to rest in with my low grade boards?

    Warsaw , Ind. In the heart of the lakes, and down the street from the hotel where Al Capone stayed.

    Cut the board right behind the pins and save up till you have a significant amount then sell on Ebay, you will get the best money for them there.
    I also pull the 2 or 3 motors and the rest of the carcass goes in the shred pile.

    There's two motors in a floppy drive. Three in a CD/DVD drive.

    I put the pin "assembly" (for lack of a better term) in with my gold ends and sell them that way.

    Ok thanks I'll probably try the ebay route like Mech said. That's what I've been doing, get the motors and board and done
