Post #4 in this thread has a picture similar to your last picture. It is a telecom board. Shoukd be priced at $4 per lb or better. Your buyer though is the only one that will tell you for sure.

Your making this more complicated than it has to be. Send a picture to a couple of buyers and see what they say.

Buyers do not reply to my emails anymore....they answer about 4 of my 50 questions and call it quits.

Asking questions is not discouraged if someone is stuck, but its easy to recognize those who have not even bothered to try to read or use the search box to help themselves.

Other members have used their own valuable time to put together some really good stickies in most of the sections to help us all out. Please return the favor and show them that they did not waste their time.

It is very hard to find anything useful on this website, as I said before search yields nothing for me, stickies have common sense info; nothing on what I have. If you want I can post elsewhere on the site and not keep my mess here in this thread with photos to grab for anything.

"search box green board with black chips" search is only useful if you know what your talking about = useless. Stickies are basic to the bone.

I'm currently processing some telecom boards and the first thing I do is take pictures and send them to my buyer. I sent a few to him recently and he told me the boards were worth about 1 dollar a pound but if I removed the big transformers and capacitors then I could get 1.50 to 1.75 per pound. I could post a hundred pics here seeking advice but in the end it all boils down to what does your buyer have to say. I only depopulate to increase the value of a board. I'm not a pin puller or a chip picker. Not to insult any who may be. I just don't have time to worry about an IC chip that's on a brown board.

As I said....they DO NOT RESPOND anymore.

For the record I never said there is nothing useful here

Also why would I waste my money shipping small amounts to them?? I sell in bulk none of this 20lb box crap...I will ship a gaylord and if they can not wait for that then I guess it is just not going to work.
