OK here's my 2 cents. If an e-waste buyer can sell his finger cards (for an example) with the steel brackets on them and can get the same price with or with out the bracket then why would you have to take the bracket off? The same aplies to mother boards, if your buyer gets the same price with or without the batteries why take the batteries off? (unless you have a buyer for the batteries) I just check with my buyer and if he wants something off then I take it off and if he says leave it on then I leave it on. Another example is transformers on low grade boards, my buyer said I can leave them on and sence I get .35 for low grade boards and I get .35 for transformers at the scrap yard I just leave them on and I get the same price and my buyer gets more wieght in his low grade gaylord. I think it's going to depend on your buyer and how he sells to his buyer, so always check things like this out with your buyer.
