I have about 100 pounds of these boards. I think they are telecom boards but I am not sure of the value.

Second board is a t1 board. http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/b...6FA8DC9745.jpg
Not sure of the first one but the last 2 are telecom.
I can't tell you about your boards, but, funny thing is, I can tell you something about your photos. That first one, that you're unsure of, you have photographed it from the top, and one thing I do know about boards and their photos, is that so many times, viewing the connectors themselves is more important than seeing the board
Bear, you are correct. Here is a side pict of the first board. http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/b...psc6f1871a.jpg
I see that some buyers will pay 4-6 bucks on sort. I was wondering how these compare in the sort. Thanks for any help.
I recently had some of those boards you have above in the second pic, I break off the gold strips and they down graded me to mid grade! Should I be upset?
Just going by what I've seen others post on the various forums, if by mid-grade you mean somewhere around the $1 per lb. mark, I'd be pretty choked, yeah. If you mean mid-grade telecom at $4-5 per lb., then no.Quote:

If your talking about breaking off the gold finger strip, then yes your downgrading it.Quote:

Even finger cards only get downgraded around $1-$1.50 or so, and on those boards that's losing a much bigger chunk of the value.Quote:

I seriously doubt the buyers I use on this forum would do that "because" you cut off a little finger. I'm a little surprised that someone would even notice that the finger was cut. Because the boards are sorted by a human mistakes can be made. I've had mistakes made on boxes I've sent to buyers, but they were quickly fixed. Use a highly recommended buyer and usually you won't have this kind of problem. But as others posted (this is a reoccurring theme), I'm not sure why you want to downgrade a board. You certainly would have made more with the weight of a higher grade vs. the small value of the fingers.Quote:

Do you think $3.50 a pound for the first board and $6 per pound for the last two?
I am just not sure what a $6 high grade board looks like
nope alot lowerQuote:

I don't think I will be dealing with them before long. Especially if they will be treating me like this, I will be talking with the owner tomorrow when I find time.
