    First batch of ewaste, have a few questions...

    So I got these at work...

    I started working at an Air Compressor sales/service shop (apprenticing to become a licensed technician) about four months ago after 13 year as a chef. Needless to say, electronics are a new field to me. I saw these boards that we were tossing so I grabbed them (shop policy is anything that's garbage is fair game), plus I saw 5 Sattelite receivers that I also grabbed. I just wanna know a few things. First, pics.

    I have three like this:


    I have this one and one similar


    These two were the ones I got at work, they were removed from the control box of a desiccant compressed air dryer I'm learning to rebuild



    And finally some odds and ends


    So basically I wanna know how I did, if this is all junk. Also, I had a general question about boards. I've googled this but can't find an answer. Is it worth removing all the resistors, capacitors, basically everything off the boards and selling them sorted by types, or just sell the whole boards as-is?

    Any help is appreciated.



    Thanks,
    Al

    The 2nd photo is not low grade, more likely around mother board.

    If your getting low grade for all of them your getting screwed. Only one that's low grade is #3. First boards would be B or mid grade 2nd board would be green mobo grade and the bottom ones you could probably get away with B grade unless your buyer has many category's. Best to ask your buyer and see what they say but the only one that's low grade is #3

    I am not shipping out boards that are midgrade or lower any more, the last few experiences ive had ive either lost some money or lost alot of money by shipping them out. Sticking with the local buyers from now on, atleast if they give me a lowball offer i can just walk out the door, rather than somone holding my boards hostage. lol


    im not seeing green motherboard pricing for board #2, wheres the gold?

    All the chips. Even boardsort would pay peripheral on that one.

    The rest range from mid .40 to low .15
