Check Ebay for Xbox parts, there is a market for them.

And if they are broken or fried beyond resale value, I'd expect you'd get motherboard price or something similar from an escrap buyer. Xbox 360s are basically just a specialized computer and I would expect the motherboard to be well, motherboard grade.

I would think they are motherboard grade as well.

I would like to see a picture, I have never taken apart an xbox 360 before.

I am pretty sure they are motherboard grade as well. One of our buyers should chime in soon.

Spring clean up last year I happen to pull up to a house just as this guy was unloading all kinds of goodies and this was just a sample. The one on the left is complete and I've been meaning to test it but stashed this in the attic and saw it when we were getting Xmas stuff and now this thread popped up so thanks for the motivational kick in the a$$. Kids had regular Xbox but it broke years ago. The guy was from England so the power supplies are 220v and I don't have controllers...sorry to ramble but you wanted pics.

depends on which version of x-box motherboard they are.Originally Posted by Dunemaul

So offering .25 cents per board would be a good idea? right now hes holding them for a guy at 10 cents a board and willing to take higher offers. thanks for the help.

Even if they are considered mid grade if you pay 25 cents a pound you will tripple your money I would think. But im almost certian they are motherboard grade. They are just a computer shoved in a special plastic case.

were the brackets on the bottom on or off when weighed?
i can only speak for myself, but i buy those as high grade mb's.

If everyone helps out by supplying some wire you could join it all together and then I could plug it in at my house. You could test the consoles then
