    Today's $2.50 buy



    I'm still just a "young grasshopper" when it comes to ewaste but figured for 2.50 I should buy these.




    This might be obvious to some, but what is this?

    Good buy! Some of those graphics cards are current enough to get decent money on ebay, specifically the red (AMD I think?) ones with the heatsinks. Congrats!

    My guess on what it is in bottom picture would be the touch pad off a laptop. What does he other side look like.

    At 8 cents a card I think you paid too much! [we need a "sarcasm" smiley]

    Remove the black sticker (last picture) to reveal the gold.

    YEah the red video cards should have more than scrap value if they are 512mb or more if you want to test them and sell them on ebay. Or just send them to me

    30 video cards for less than 10 cents each is a hek of a deal. Not sure really, but those low profile ones might resell too?

    I might just do that. I have no way of testing them and I have some other stuff just sitting around including a 200gb Seagate Barracuda that should be worth more than scrap.

    Nice scorefor $2.50! just a little FYI the boards that have the silver and black caps i believe are TA Caps. there is a buyer on here who pays $8/lb-$25/lb for them.
