2nd picture is a close up of what appears to be some kind of a gold plated chip and the socket it was in not sure what it is. it was in an older epson computer that didnt look anything like a modern desktop

The first one is an IDE (gold pin) to gold finger adaptor. They were mostly used when upgrading old computers to use floppy drives. The rest except for the drive one appear to be mid or high grade boards, but I'd have a buyer on here look. I have no idea on the chip, but it looks pretty high up there as far as price.

That last picture is a 186 chip. I believe one of the buyers here is paying 300+ per pound on them.

3rd picture has those IC chips with windows on it we were talking about awhile back.

He also will buy those ic chips with gold on them. I know many have been asking if anyone does.......

They are 350 /lb or roughly $3.00 ea. is what we pay.

The chip on the 3rd picture does not have a window on it, it is classified as a low grade IC chip. The 4th picture has 2 chip's on the right side of the boards with the window you are referring to, these are know as Eprom's and go for about 4.00 /lb.

That is correct, I just don't have them listed on the website yet.
