    Help Id and price this board

    I have about 100 pounds of these boards. I think they are telecom boards but I am not sure of the value.

    I can't tell you about your boards, but, funny thing is, I can tell you something about your photos. That first one, that you're unsure of, you have photographed it from the top, and one thing I do know about boards and their photos, is that so many times, viewing the connectors themselves is more important than seeing the board

    I see that some buyers will pay 4-6 bucks on sort. I was wondering how these compare in the sort. Thanks for any help.

    I recently had some of those boards you have above in the second pic, I break off the gold strips and they down graded me to mid grade! Should I be upset?

    Just going by what I've seen others post on the various forums, if by mid-grade you mean somewhere around the $1 per lb. mark, I'd be pretty choked, yeah. If you mean mid-grade telecom at $4-5 per lb., then no.

    Yes mid-grade as in what you said first! So it looks like I won't be doing business with them again with network boards, just take my plastic and other garbage to them, lol. I will be talking to the owner of the company sometime this week to settle my grievances, or what I called it as being "concerned"

    If your talking about breaking off the gold finger strip, then yes your downgrading it.

    Sure you're downgrading the board some, but from telecom grade to a buck, over a finger strip that looks to be about 2" long? On a pretty heavily populated board? That ain't reasonable. Even finger cards only get downgraded around $1-$1.50 or so, and on those boards that's losing a much bigger chunk of the value.

    If I was to buy those boards and I saw that the fingers where cut off then I would think some other things might have been taken off as well. I would down grade to low grade and I wouldn't care if you took your business some place else. Because I would have told you up front that you do not remove anything off higher grade boards.

    I seriously doubt the buyers I use on this forum would do that "because" you cut off a little finger. I'm a little surprised that someone would even notice that the finger was cut. Because the boards are sorted by a human mistakes can be made. I've had mistakes made on boxes I've sent to buyers, but they were quickly fixed. Use a highly recommended buyer and usually you won't have this kind of problem. But as others posted (this is a reoccurring theme), I'm not sure why you want to downgrade a board. You certainly would have made more with the weight of a higher grade vs. the small value of the fingers.

    Do you think $3.50 a pound for the first board and $6 per pound for the last two?

    nope alot lower

    midgrade on the first, rest would be paid as lowgrade telecom/fingerboard/green motherboard which all payout about the same

    I don't think I will be dealing with them before long. Especially if they will be treating me like this, I will be talking with the owner tomorrow when I find time.
