    Opinions - Sell or Process These Older Boards

    Just looking for some honest opinions - These boards all came out of a Large security system
    I posted a few photos on photobucket to get the Thread started.
    I sell my Motherboards - CPU's - Memory - Network boards all the time normally.
    I do process some boards (that I choose to experiment with) for the PM's but these are different.
    Any opinions on choice to sell them - process them - hold them. I have more than 500 lbs - Many different types.
    If someone has seen these things before maybe some grading info so I can figure out some prices.

    Thanks in advance

    My honest opinion : I think it's better if you think and decide for yourself. We've covered the pro's and con's of breaking down the boards past threads. You might have to dig through the weeds but there's a lot of information there.

    Don't really have an opinion on grading except that it might be best to ask your buyer.

    As to whether or not to hold .... my opinion is that it's better to keep everything moving smoothly through the shop.

    It's waste product if you know what i mean ?

    Sell as usual.......I would guess those are not the easiest boards to process on a small scale

    the EAC B1a12a transistors...err more accurately called voltage regulators... will have been silver soldered thru hole, the gold fingers in the other picture transmit power so they probably are heavy plated. Obviously your looking at alot of caps and resistors that add weight but not value...the redeeming factor is you have some good ICs, couple plastics and a few ceramics and the "multi-layer monolitic capacitor" components are big has hell...I think if you have the weight might as well send them out and see what you get back in silver...it's a gamble if your after gold...I don't think you will find as much as you think.
    WI ITAD LLC, IT Liquidation Services, we remarket, buy and sell scrap electronics No customer too large or small!
