    Sell the low grade locally, most places that buy them pay .10-.20 cents per lbs. The mother boards I use Ewasted from this forum, go to his web site and set up an acount. If you have problems doing that get in touch with him and he will help you out. He has great shipping rates and he will send you a prepaid shipping lable and deduct the shipping from what he owes you for your boards. You can find him in the seller/buyer section on the home page. He is very honest and dependable.

    Ditto, For one tub of motherboards just box em up and ship em to a buyer. Unless your local yard buys low grade it just goes with scrap metal (less transformers and aluminum heat sinks, which you can break off and sell at better than shred prices) Are you sure they're low grade, if they're by chance mid grade you might do best to ship those too. If you're not sure, try posting a photo or two of them

    Do yourself a favor and buy a reliable tabletop scale that can weigh up to 75 lbs. That will take a lot of the guesswork out of how much you can expect to get for your motherboards and other stuff.

    Spend some time reading the old threads in the electronics section and the sticky threads. The knowledge you gain there will help you alot. You don't know what you don't know and the reading will fill in areas you are currently unaware. Have you done an intro thread yet? Where in S.C. are you located? Mike.

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked
