    ive seen buyers pay similar boards as midgrade so you might be in trouble, possibly looking at green motherboard pricing which is basically as what you paid for them
    I buy and sell all types of scrap and escrap. I buy specialty and hard to sell escrap. I buy resale items. PM me or contact me at jghilino@hotmail.com
    I AM ACTIVELY BUYING ESCRAP OF ALL TYPES. BOARDS, RAM, CPUS AND MUCH MORE

    Gravitar, they were TI-83's. Actually about 40 of them in the box. Probably 15 were trashed, I pulled the boards. The rest look ok, just waiting to get some batteries to see if they work. Gonna be a nice pay day if they all work. 25 at about $35.00 a piece on eBay. They are selling like mad on there.
