    The ICs fetch $5-6 per lb.

    The boards in your photos look like what fetches $ .45 per lb from my buyer.

    A lot of junk stuff on them.

    Transformers will fetch motor price.

    Around $ .25 per lb.

    Weaverman...we were all overwhelmed at first. I had to study the pictures over and over before it all started to sink in. Just start somewhere and read read read, and really study the pictures like a Dr. studies an xray or a jeweler studies a diamond.

    Also, weaver, you've been on the forum since OCT and you have yet to introduce yourself. Please tell us a little about yourself. In that amount of time I know you had to of seen us ask that many times. It's only that we feel more inclined to help people if we feel like we know something about why they are here...where they are from...how they started scrapping and how long. Don't mean to sound demanding, but it's just good manners and we appreciate it.

    Those are not RAM. Please spend some time reading the first link that was provided to you. Then go from there. No need to look for a buyer yet, but when you are ready, then the second link provided to you will help.

    Good luck with your venture.

    Your starting to sound more and more like a grey haired mother,,,(or an exwife) LOL
    And Weaver, just store your boards away on a shelf in the garage. That'll do two things, one you don't have enough to sell for a real good payday, and two by the time you've built up a good load to sell you'll have gained experience by watching others posts and more reading, and checking out the buyers websites.
