"knocking the pins off processors" price question

I had a customer call me today, he told me he "knocked the pins off From
Processors". I explained that this is not the best way to maximize profits , but considering he already did it, he wants me to get prices for him.
What are these considered? And who buys it?
Thanks!

have you thought of saving up enough of the harder to sell stuff and having it refined?

I have been sending my ceramics to be toll refined. My first batch I got right at scrap value. Hoping for a little better ob my second batch. My first batch was mostly gold window eproms thips second batch is much higher yield material so my toll will be much less.
