Wait...hold on...explain your logic. It may be too early in the morning...but let me get this straight...
Boards by me sell for .15 a pound. The flybacks alone, last time I got .20 a pound. So, how would leaving them on the board make me more money? Say the board equals 5 lbs in tact. (yes i'm exaggerating.) Now, I take off all the motors, alum, etc, and throw it in a pile on the scale...still equals 5lbs...but the transformers are .20 a lb, alum price varies if it's a sheet heatsink or extrusion, but i know their both more than .15 a pound...so, when I'm down to no large items to break down, and theres my little pile of boards...PLUS it keeps me occupied while I watch TV...bring a bucket of heatsinks in the house and clean all the junk off them while I watch a little boob tube?
It seems you are a board buyer...yes? Is that why you dislike stripped/broken boards...because in the end you're not making alot of profit off them?
And I am not a big time scrapper. Maybe for the big timers negotiating prices may be plausable, but i'm simply a little peon making a little extra change.
