    Board question

    I get quite a few automotive electronic components in my scrap pickups. Let me state that I know next to nothing about the E-waste side of things but am learning slowly.

    These are all boards out of Mercedes parts, the long one at the bottom is the from the ESP Module which controls alot of things on the car.

    What say you more experienced folks? Low-grade, Higrade?

    Some closer photo's of each board will help. If you want a definative answer pm one of the buyers and include the individual photo's. Mike.

    Will do Thanks for the tip. I'm more into the metals side of scrapping and only recently did I start getting these. I searched & read a bunch of threads here on boards, but never saw automotive boards come up in discussion!

    Yep! med grade. Check the IC chips, if they lift off you can sell them.

    I really don't see mid grade there even with the plastic and other metals removed. Not much there to work with.
    We buy electronic scrap, Gold Karat scrap, gold filled, refined gold, silver and many other item's.
