My pleasure man. Happy to help and had fun making the vid. Thank you.
5:06 That is a floppy disk controller, and with respect to boardsort grading standards anyways, it is one of the only brown boards (or as you said, brittle) that will qualify for Peripheral High. It is due to the quality of the gold pins which must be present in order to make that grade.
9:01 Correct. This is one of a handful of exceptions to the quarter rule. There are several tell tales here, but a unique (and lesser known) method I can quickly share is to examine the keyboard connector. If you look at the connector, it is big and fat (we call it an XT keyboard connector) when compared to newer connectors. This is an indication of age. Most every motherboard manufactured as a Pentium III (P3) or before will be Large Socket. This keyboard connector was phased out in 1987, well before the small socket era. While you do not necessarily need to know the historical timeline of computing in order to grade MB's, it is just one more tool in your headbox to help you grade a motherboard.

Headbox I like that term 😂 great information Boardsort/Chris I love micro scrapping got a few totes saved up and kinda sorted as I watch and learn from these videos and the amazing comments like this! Here in Alberta 🇨🇦 we don’t have yards we can sell ewaste at we have to pay to recycle it 😂
#1 CD ROM I think. #3 is a SATA hard drive board. Nice package of stuff!
@sharkscrapper

Almost - the first two were HDD non-SATA or High Grade. You are correct for #3, HDD SATA or Low Grade.
5:55 Low Grade (SATA) Hard Drive Board. Notice the lack of pins in the data connector...instead they have single side plated fingers which contain a minimal amount of gold as compared to the fully plated IDE pins.
Well this was educational and love all comments from Boardsort with the time stamps👍👍👍

1:49 Item #1: That looks an HP Tape Backup controller board. While technically not a Hard Drive board, I would buy it as a High Grade Hard Drive board in this particular case. Not all TBB (tape backup boards) qualify as High Grade HDB as many will grade as Low HDB grade despite the IDE connector due to lower recovery values because tapes are slow thus not as many values are needed on board to ensure speedy data delivery.

Those double sided gold CPUs can be sold on Ebay, not sure if the price after fees and time listing outweighs the ease of selling them straight to Boardsort or not though. Prices are a bit wide but seen lot of 2 sell for $45 with shipping (listed as untested) and some single ones for $36 to 49 with ship.

Thank a lot for great overview of another lot sorting. Like it my guess: 1. HDD high grade + 2. HDD high 3. HDD low sata this id#1 is a an old nice ide hdd board. I would call id ' hdd high grade plus'. There are some fdd old cd-recorders and other controllers of the same chip outlook. I collect those as well as ide hdd to send them someday to boardsort 😁🤫 2. item#2 high grade ide hdd board collect them as we have no grades for them, and price in Europe is the same for low/high hdd boards 3. item#3 is a sata hdd (low). i collect them, price in Ukraine up to $15/kilo for any hdd(could be sata, laptop 2.5" sata). price in Germany is up to €22 per kilo, also could be SATA. hope this is useful to you 🤫😏🤑

How much does removing the ICs and flat packets from boards affect their value at the yard? Does it change their grading?
@sharkscrapper

Yes it changes the value of the boards. How much depends on how many you remove and your buyer. You can easily downgrade a higher grade board to low grade by removing the chips.

I so don't know what the mystery items are. I'm confused with board sort. Do they take pinless cpu? Do they take ram that isn't 8g? Should I send to Chris or just scrap what I have? Prices in NM suck. I have no idea how to grade boards. I'm trying to learn, but I feel stupid.

Joanie - please don't feel stupid. Chris, myself and others have been doing this for years. I still mess it up sometimes. The mystery items came off Hard Disk Drives (HDD). The first two were NON-SATA or high grade. NON-SATA refers to the pins on the board used to connect it. The older boards had gold plated pins and were called IDE. Item 3 was an example of a newer HDD boards with SATA pins - much smaller and very small flat pins. Yes, BOARDSORT will by pinless CPUs. They also recently started buying RAM of 8 GB or higher in their tested RAM program, so more valuable than scrap value. That's why I separate 8+GB RAM now. WOW, that was a long response, sorry about that.

Hey, pinless cpu are present in price. Just make sure there no newest cores or Sun cpus - this could have quite different pricing, but are mentioned in the payout list on the website. It is most effective to sign up at forum like boardsort and make a post in a relevant part/thread. Escappers are very responsive folks, I should say .

In the case of small socket motherboards, yes. They have less precious metal value than the green ones. Large socket motherboards can be any color as I mentioned in the video. Same for gold finger cards, they come in colors other than green but are still gold finger cards.

So much depends on the grade of the boards. A container like that blue bin could be worth anywhere from $40 to $200 depending on what type of boards are contained. If it was full of gold fingered RAM it could easily be a couple thousand dollars. I hope that helps.

Eric - I'll answer your recent questions in this response. Yes, your Boardsort username is your email. Identifying CDROM boards is easy after you've seen a few thousand of them 🤣 In the mean time, I recommend you keep some examples from CDROM's you get. Some older ones can cover the entire area of the bottom of the CDROM device. Others are about half that size and some newer ones are very small. Keep the examples handy, maybe even put them on a board near your work station. Feel free to email me questions at sharkscrapper@gmail.com.
