    Compared to some of the pictures graded Here Looks like Telecom CS is paying about $4.50 a # but he'd have to confirm my stab at grading.

    What did it come out of? I want to know what to look out for. Also how much material are you shipping? (I don't need an answer to that last question) I deal with one of the buyers here on the forum and he seems happy to take in my smallish loads(155 lbs for one) Mike.

    I would grade those out at lower end telecom but telecom nonetheless...Thortek is correct on the grade and pricing. However, you should look inside those IC chips that have a little window on them....If you see gold then the grade would be a bit higher.

    Well contact the buyers in the buyers section. Send them pictures, better if you can and let them know the amount you have. They'll tell you if they will buy it.

    So far I would say you are doing well. Maybe just keep it for now till you have more to send in. Mike.
