    I would not be so certain, i came across some 13 year old finger cards in a scrap lot i checked the value on and i just sold for $90 each. I am the process of negotiating to sell the other 20 that i have. at $50-$200 each.

    $270 per pound of finger cards is what it came out to

    well check to good ones out then, i hate to see anyone throwing money away. I had been scrapping all boards till i started looking up model numbers. Probably scrapped out $2000 worth of resellable boards in the last year alone. But live and learn.

    yep they sure are, most board buyers buy telecom/server, i think you can do better than green board price on them like $5-$6 pound
