    Boards clarification

    Just a quick question to make sure I've got a decent idea as to what I'm doing here. Anything brown on one side is going to be circuit board. If I've got green/green then I'm onto a grade of motherboard correct?

    They are all circuit boards technically. Brown's just pay out the lowest.

    But I just stumbled across a smaller brown board that has two rows of gold pins. Came out of a printer, just so you know.

    Every buyer I have used as yet still grades that as low grade. I wish they didnt but seems they do. I have used about 10 different buyers in the past. All paid low grade for any board with brown on one side. I break any gold plated pins and cut the IC chips from all brown boards.

    Some boards can be green on both sides and still be low grade, brake the board in half if it's brown in the middle it's a low grade board. Not all green/green boards are mother boards, mother boards are the larger ones out of computers. Most green/green are mid grade. I am not an expert on this so correct me if I'm wrong.
