    I've never had a problem selling PCI boards for far more than motherboard prices.

    Just saw a 2lb lot of pci boards close for $25.50. That's 12.50 a pound. For a handful of obsolete high end video cards that's about 3 bucks a piece. Throw 25 pci boards into your motherboard box you threw away between 50 and 75 dollars.

    Also the older the computer, the higher chance of it having an accessory board.



    Even sheared platters are worth more than aluminum scrap to the guys processing in their garage.

    I would like to know where the pci cards sold for that. I have a gaylord full.

    Motherboards can bring $4.50 but you have to have a good amount of weight. Anyone who is paying $4.50 for a small amount is nuts..just my thought.
