Just went to the yard and had noticed the prices dropping on everything so I asked for a price list to see if there was anything I should take note of. Mobos down to .35/lb! WTF! I've gotten the impression they want whole units for a while because the price of everything but HDD has dropped significantly over the last year while they still pay .20/lb for whole computers (they don't check for HDD, so there's a little loophole there). My fave scale guy kind of gave me a hint on the weekend when he pointed out it wasn't profitable to break them down, to which I said "not any more" because mobos used to be 1.75/lb and right there it was worth my time. Now, he's definitely right; I will still pop em open and take the CPU, RAM and cards, but nothing else anymore!
