    Board Grade

    Would you throw this in with mixed motherboards or is this type worth more? I dont see these often in my loads. Also, do any of you guys get higher prices for your non-telecom vintage boards like intel 386/486, socket 3, 5 etc? (Not on ebay)







    And what grade telecom would you grade this?

    Board 1: If the processors (the little square parts) can't be popped out, it should be worth about $8 per lb (I don't remember the grade or exact price, but that's what I've been getting for them). If the processors are removable, it would probably be worth either motherboard or lower-grade telecom, depending on your buyer.

    Board 2: Depending on your buyer, you would probably want to remove the little IC chips (the black rectangles), but only the raised ones in the socket. It would probably be considered a low or mid grade telecom board

    Also for older/vintage boards, I personally don't get a higher price. I don't know of any buyers who pay more based on age, either.
    There's nothing more fun and more effective than hitting something repeatedly with a sledgehammer
