    I have never used eBay, but lately I've been watching and learning, what's selling and what's not. What iam seeing is components that I know are on mobo's and other higher paying boards. So there seems to be something to depopulating these boards for better profits.
    Iam I missing something here?
    I know there are things that buyers don't want to reveal, and that's just smart business.
    But, is there any members who do this on a regular basis? And, most important is it profitable?
    I'll continue to research this,and maybe try a few sales.
    After all not all refiners want the whole board.
    Perhaps you could include a couple of links that support your theory.



    Also the extra profit must more than cover the extra work for depopulating, separating, listing and shipping.

    I am not doing this for mobo's but other scrap items have been selling for me on ebay. Mike

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked
