Circuit Boards - Two Questions

1) What are these made of? We see them on just about every circuit board. They appear to be tin-coated copper or something like that. Are they? And if so, does that make them #2 copper or are they something else?




2) I do sell my premium computer chips and boards on eBay (and will try Board Sort next), but what of my low-grade boards from TVs and whatnot? I have a bunch of them. My yard doesn't care if I toss them in with the shred, but is there a better avenue? I know the low-grade (mostly brown) boards don't have much value, so I bust off the copper bits and the flyback transformer (which nets motor price because of the copper), but I'm wondering if the garbage cans full of these boards can be sold for more than shred price.

1) it's a transistor. that should be Copper backing. I'm not sure what it goes as normally.

2) check the buyers on here. if you ship them a gaylord box, you should do fine if you send in your mid and high with the low. your mileage may vary

Why not try some of our buyers since your a member here. I think its always a good practice to support our people.

I though Board Sort was a buyer on here? I'll check the others.
