comparative motherbaord valuation

now for the debate. it should be obvious that a board that contains less gold is going to recover less gold. meaning the boards is worth less.

as the ratio of lower grade boards on the market continues to increase, i predict the prices of those boards will fall. resulting in a multiple grading and pricing system.

2 years ago it was common to find gaylords of old 86, p-1 and p-2 motherboards. those volumes have been steadily dropping. they have been replaced with slot, p-4 and 775 boards.

it is inevitable that pricing will change. the only real question is when it will become a standard pricing.

I have also predicted that prices will start to change for the lower grade boards....As I mentioned in the other thread, it is not hard to see that things will eventually have to change. With lower recovery numbers there is going to be a trickle down effect as the number of 86, P-1 and so on boards continues to decrease.
