So I picked up a large load of free e-scrap the other day off of craigslist and am trying to understand what I am doing. After searching through the archives for a couple of hours my brain is now numb. I have 48 hard drives that I have started taking the board off of and the motor out of (which I should do right?). 12 computer cd players (Also took the board off of , should I try for anything else) and 6 CPUs (which again I'm starting to remove the boards from). Then I was also given a box of fans and some misc. boards. I have started to separate the boards out... hopefully rightly and am trying to sell them now. This is the only place I have found in the OKC (or Oklahoma for that matter) that buys e scrap. Are their prices ok or should I go through the forum like I'm leaning towards. These are their prices http://66.166.133.189:81/CommodityPr...ist.aspx?BID=1. Any thoughts?



And before selling the boards that I just pulled out, do I take any transistors, capacitors chips, or heat sinks off or will that reduce the board grade? What about the clips, ends and gold looking pins? Or again will that reduce the value. Sorry for all the questions I'm just trying to get introduced into the e-scrap going through the archives everyone seems to have a different opinion on everything. And if I can get this to make some decent money maybe I can focus on e-scrap since no one else seems to be.
