    some boards that have large caps will get downgraded at the buyer due to the added weight of the board, by taking them off the board weight goes down slightly the but the price of the board goes up.

    Thats how I reacted to the question. I do remove the very large cap's from boards that would be upgraded if removed. After removing the cap's it is worth it to ship the boards. Locally the cap's get tossed into the shred pile. In my case I get boards that are both power and logic boards. Mike
