    Mid Grade or Chop everything off? Opinions Appreciated!

    So I have like 15-20 of each of these things and I can't decide whether I should send them in as is hoping for the mid grade or chop all the stuff of and send that in instead. Pictured is the front and back of each piece in question.




    Thanks in Advance!

    Depends.... Do you already have a jar with an accumulation of chopped fingers? It's all about quantity. Even though I don't do it myself because I normally ship large quantities of finger boards and RAM. Plus more people than not say don't cut them off cause the cost comparison has you making more money leaving them on. Also time spent on cutting them off is a factor when deciding whether to or not. But if I didn't have a constant large inventory of E scrap I'd cut them off save them until I had a good amount and just ship the boards as you go.

    I would send the photos to my buyer for your answer. Personally I would hope to leave them intact and ship them as is. No gold fingers on them that I see and just a few possible gold pins. Keep working at it Julie, you have grown a lot since joining the forum. I am happy to see your efforts paying off, Mike.

    Aww Thank you!! I'm hoping they're going to pay off anyhow... Getting ready to box it all up and ship it on out! Packing up the office here at work then packing boxes of material at home it seems like boxes are my life lately!
