Spread it all out a bit farther apart and it'll look like lots more. You could also get you a scale and try weighing them up, then read a few threads on shipping ; )

if your shipping to a buyer like ewasted.
Use this equation
Or in laymans terms. you want to ship 65 pound box's and keep them under 70 as the cost drastically goes up.Code:Declare Variables X = Weight; Y = Max Profit; { If (X=65lbs(!=70lbs)) Then (Y=Yes); ElseIf (X=(<=64lbs)) Then (Y=No); }

I believe that there are some fans, heat sinks, and plastic on those finger cards that should come off
Take the aluminum off of the ram too.

My guess is 22 lbs you have there. I would wait until you can get a good heavy box full. The others are right, the shipping comes way down as you near 65 lbs especially if you get a shipping quote from your buyer. I get the same excitement looking at piles of nice boards. Wait until you get some gold capped processors, you might keep them on your nightstand.
Ok. Sounds like my wife will have to wait on the money. I also have some dvr boards and decent sized harddrives aswell as floppy and cd/dvd
Hard drives might be best sold on eBay depending on size. Whoever you choose to sell to, I'd recommend the following: first, weigh all known items keeping them grouped together. Create line items in a word document for each known grouping. Unknown value boards try to group LKQ together as best you can, photograph, weigh and rename photo whatever the weight is. Now create a desktop folder and name it the date of the shipment. Put your word document with mobo, ram, finger card, etc entries in this folder along with all photos of unknown value boards. This way when you get a vague payout sheet that shows you were paid mobo price for the majority of the shipment you'll know that certain previously unknown value boards are worth mobo price. Furthermore, just because you only have one slot processor to ship (for example) don't get lazy and fail to record it's weight. More than likely when you get that first check you will have forgotten that there should be a payment for 2.25 oz of slot processor. I speak from experience on that one. Additionally, I would suggest using USPO for shipment if you have the funds available up front. A box in the 40-50 lb range only costs approx. 35 cents a pound to ship (a little cheaper than Fedex) AND you have an officialweight to reconcile payment against. A prepaid Fedex label will not do this for you. The down side to using the post office is it will take 2-4 days longer to arrive. Big deal, at least you'll know exactly how many pounds you should be getting paid for, don't forget to deduct the empty box weight, generally 1.5-2.5 lbs for a box holding 50 pounds of boards. If this is clear as mud and I'm afraid that's likely the case, pm me and I'll walk you through it via telephone.
Well. I got a PM from a buyer. I forgot how close he is. He is in driving distance. So that will save on shipping. So I will pile up some more. I have my 2 weeks training for the Army starting this Saturday. So that puts everything on hold for now. Thanks everybody for your replies. I jus gotta convince the wife its worth waiting. Ive only spent around 50 bux for everything I have. So I think I'm doing good so far. Also I am goin to try and do a electronics waste dropoff at my unit and donate some of the money back to my unit.
