    Foreign Motherboards

    Just to clarify something that has been bothering me...

    Are all non-green motherboards considered foreign?

    For instance, I have like 100 lbs of goldish Asus motherboards.
    Are these considered foreign?


    Thank you!

    For example, Ewasted pays $2.15 for small socket foreign motherboards. I see many people on this very forum reference them as foreign.

    Does this mean only red motherboards or all colors but green?

    Was talking with one of my buyers today and he says that they are seeing the gold % go back up a bit in the new boards boards than they have had in the past 5 years. Not quite what the large socket boards had but better than whats been seen in boards lately. Not sure on the truth of this but we will see in the years to come.

    Send pictures to buyer and then you will have a definitive answer. Recently I snapped a few pics sent them to Ewasted and had the answer in minutes.

    If I read that right then you are buying ALL motherboards at the same price? Sorry I am a bit off today...no sleep yet.
