Thank you Stillwater... Well said ... Brass:There is no way on a large scale basis to grade boards that micro... It is all about Slot. Buyers are not commenting because we have something to hide some secret, its that there's northing really to tell you. When you deal with thousands of motherboards weekly or monthly you cant have a system of breaking down to that many categories in purchasing....There are less than a handful of buyers anywhere that will buy P4 boards at higher than low grade price and they are making a blend. I come from a stainless steel scrap background so I am a huge proponent of blending material but its a complicated and risky thing to do. And those that are buying p4 boards higher than low grade are not paying full high grade price for large socket so just realize as a seller you cant have it all your way.. I buy three categories of motherboards.. Large Socket ( any color) small socket colored and p4 which is about a .10 premium over small socket colored only because I have a niche outlet for them..
Stillwater: if you are going to S America ill go if its to Brazil during Carnivale time
