    Ok, I had a long post this morning that didn't work so I'll shorten and try again. I did find the answers I was looking for when I contacted some buyers. The final word ended up being that you guys are right and I should just leave the CPUs soldered on the board. I had prices on my earlier post and that may be why it didn't work. In all, I found that removing the CPUs and selling them and the board separate yielded 9% less than just leaving them on. So I'll just leave them on and save that time, effort, possible hazard and money. Thanks to all who had suggestions on this, I knew you were right, I just have to get to the heart of the scrap sometimes.
