Can you identify this?

Alright well I have been resisting the urge to eBay despite a lot of the good information and advice I have read here but a couple of weeks ago I put a few small things on eBay. I lost a little on shipping (charged 6 bucks and it cost me 8-10) but since it was all free it worked well! Now I think I am ready to start with my bread and butter, E-Waste. I bought 5 working vintage computers from an estate sale the other day, paid 10$ for the lot of them and all five had 486s (still hoping for that Pentium Pro). I saved these things from that breakdown to try and sell because they looked like they might be worth more than scrap value. Since I'm newer, I don't know what these things things are called so I don't know how to list them. Was hoping ya'll could help...



1st is a motherboard. It has a 486 in it that I am going to include but it looks like it has a slot for another one (should I throw another one in to sweeter the pot?) and 8 sticks of memory in three different sizes. It was an old IBM with only a 5.25 and a hard drive.

How would you list this and how much would you start it out? I wanna start it low but not .99


Second is the thing I pulled out of this motherboard. Thought about including it with the motherboard but thought I'd get your advice. It looks like an expansion card or something.

This is another expansion card thing, but not out of this computer, out of a different, slightly newer one.

Any help is appreciated!

As a side note I have decided to use the proceeds of these three auctions to become an official member of SMF for a couple of reasons. Information is worth $$$ in this business and this place is filled with information and also because I am TRULY curious what inside of that members only room...

The bottom couple are PCI expansion ports, or riser ports, which allow as the name implies allow you to add additional cards to a motherboard. I've never sold them, but a quick search on ebay did show they do sell, just depending on the model of course. With the ports on the back of that motherboard being bent, I'm not sure you would be able to get more then scrap value on it, but I suggest googling or checking ebay. There should be a sticker with the model number of the motherboard on it, or it might be imprinted on the board itself.

That extra socket is for a 487 math co-processor. See inside the socket where it says 80487? Originally there was the 8086 processor and the 8087 math co-processor. There was some lineage between that and eventually the 386 then the 486. The actual name of the chip is the 80486 or in the case of Intel the i486. The co-processors just followed along and kept the "87 designation as well.

The gold finger edge in this pic will come out of that board. Pull it with a pair of pliers and u have some clean gold finger.

Thanks Parrothead and TheDude!
