    technically those are lowgrade, cut the finger off and sell the fingers and boards separately, , my 2 cents

    I'd have to see them, but I had green board power supplies with some gold connectors (not fingers) on them that went for low mid grade. 0.45 not too long ago.

    I really wish that I was dealing in the amounts you are dealing with, but you are going to have to wait for an answer from your buyer.

    I would say gold fingers cards, but check with buyer.

    I would also spend the time breaking, cutting (whatever) them off and selling them as gold strips

    your looking at about 30 cents pound either way selling as is, i say cut the fingers off, 0.3 ounce fingers per board = $1.30 at todays prices and even just .1 ounce fingers per board would be 40 cents

    I would do two things.. One.. I would wait for the buyer input.. two.. I would decide after his imput.. see what You get for power supplies.. and then see what you get for power boards, meaning taken out of the shell.. and weigh your option that way..

    I break them out of the shell and sell them as power boards,,, I get cashed for the metal.. and I get cashed for the power boards... and I get cashed for the trimmed gold connetors... I add My three up and I come out ahead.. its a bit of work.. but its worth it..

    That is My three cents.

    I know i have asked Mario in the past and he has told me that gold fingers from power supplies are usually not as high quality as ones from finger cards and has asked me not to mix the 2.
