    I wonder if he is talking about the AMD ones. Lesser value but not sure exact price.

    If you google AMD 386 and go to the images tab you can see some pics

    If it's a processor it's going to have some kind of value. Offer him 205.00 and go from there. If you are not 100% sure on what they are I'd keep my offer low until I confirmed a price with a buyer. It could be a 7-9.00 processor. The ceramics are easy, Ewasted is paying 37 a pound x 3 = 111.00. I would offer 26 pounds x 5.00 = 130.00, 3 pounds x 25.00 = 75.00 for a total of 205. That way I would be making some money regardless of what the 26 pounds ended up being.

    i disagree with paying ceramic rate without gold pins sticking out, if there are not gold pins sticking out of them id be hesitant to even pay $5 pound on those

    the fact that these are integrated cpus tells me theres probably not pins, this is an area where knowledge, research and experience is needed to accurately determine value

    its nice to see some on here asking questions before they buy, not coming to us after buying with a huge loss, thats what the forum is for, if in doubt get pictures and post them here so we can help

    If these integrated cpus are new they may have resale value much higher than scrap value. So that is something to look into also.

    How do you know from his post that they may be integrated? It would be interesting to see what this guys wants for his chips. Usually when I see someone with that many chips they know they have some value and are trying to get more than they would on ebay by selling them locally.

    This guy has a scrap yard that is why he has so much I'm buying about $10,000 worth of e-waste from him. So either way these i386 are pretty low in value if they popped them off the motherboard due to no pins. And they will only have decent value if they are new. I thought ceramic i386, i486 were going for 135#
