Motherboard vs Gold Finger Board

[Mobius]

(I have a picture, but I am limited to 200 bytes... so can't post it.
I am not sure how I fix the limit. Maybe when I get a few more posts under my belt?)

I have 25 traffic control servers and the motherboard that I pulled from them is a small form factor MB (slightly bigger than a full sized PCIE card) with PCIE and ISA gold fingers that go to a riser card (or small backplane).
The board is small socket Celeron board that has the north bridge BGA, south bridge BGA, two LAN BGAs (and PCIE metal end bracket), and like I already mentioned, the PCIE and ISA edge fingers.

The price difference is at least 2.25x for the gold finger board over the motherboard, so with any quantity it matters.
I that I need to talk with the buyer, and I am working on that.

But until I can have that discussion with the buyer, do I:
1. Trim gold fingers and sell as a motherboard. Then sell gold fingers.
or
2. Leave as is and sell as gold finger board.

Does anybody have any other suggestions or guidance for this? Obviously I would like to sell these as gold finger boards.

I thought that I was posting this into the E-Waste Grading and Identification forum. If anybody can move it, please do so. Or I can move it if someone could explain how I do that.
Sorry, fairly new to SMF.

Email pictures to your buyer before you do anything. You can also contact buyers here if you haven't already and send them some pics. While you're waiting for a response from your buyers, learn how to post pics. Use the search feature at the top. There are many threads and a few videos about posting pics.
The only time I ever remove gold fingers is if they are on a brown power board or any other low grade boards.

Yep, do what he said. Keep reading and take your time before selling anything until you are certain what you are doing. 73, Mike
