Thanks buddy. I appreciate you taking time to do this.
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.
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.
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.
Chris laying down some ewaste scrapper gold there. Thank you sir. Now the question is will my coconut retain 🤣
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!
Almost - the first two were HDD non-SATA or High Grade. You are correct for #3, HDD SATA or Low Grade.
Well this was educational and love all comments from Boardsort with the time stamps👍👍👍
Glad you liked it JRACAT. I really appreciate it when Chris takes the time to help us all out by sharing his knowledge in these videos.
@@sharkscrapper He has just educated over 1.5k people that could send him stuff . This will get every body on the same sheet of music less time sorting is more productive for everyone .
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.
Thanks for taking the time to lay down all the knowledge with us Chris. Greatly appreciated.
cool sorting is fun 👍
It really is fun.
I love the clinking sound of those old ceramic chips, kinda like gold coins😄
I agree - love that sound
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.
Interesting - I'll take a look. But I may just sell directly to a refiner.
cool video Shark Scrapper thanks for sharing
My pleasure
Hey! I wanted to stop by and say it was nice meeting you on the VidSum. You’re doing great mixing your job and passion. This will recoup itself on the long run 🏃♂️💯
Thank you it was great meeting you and having you drop in. I learned so much at VidSummit and trying to put it work. I already have my ticket for next year.
Cool video shot, thanks for sharing it with us, well done :)
Thank you, glad you enjoyed.
I also take apart flat screens too
I do those sometimes, but only when I have to.
Yay im so exited 😄 thank you shark
My pleasure, it was a lot of fun.
Nice little box of trinkets careful Cris be getting jelly LoL this was a very interesting and informative video thank you for sharing six Stars brother
Chris jelly? 🤣 He gets truck loads of this. Compared to Chris, I am but a Padawan learner.
@@sharkscrapper when you can snatch the stone from my hand then you will be ready grasshopper
3:06 Mystery Item #2? High Grade hard Drive Board (non-SATA). The 40 IDE pinned data connector is the giveaway here.
lots of circuit boards there my friend a modern problem
*full view😎Au👍thumbs up like☑*
Thanks 👍 it's a good problem to have.
@@sharkscrapper yes guess lucrative for a scrapper
Nice box Adam
Thank you
Thanks
WOW, thank you George. That is very generous.
New subscriber Great channel ! 👍You could call this box GoldFinger . 😀😀
No kidding, this was a good box load.
Always makes me sad we don't have any place to take ewaste up here in the North.
Become the place, you’ll make good money 🤙🏼
Here in BC, people give their ewaste away for free to the recyclers. From there it gets shipped in bulk to the US
@@Reasonist It definitely goes somewhere, a lot of red tape involved in trying to ship any kind of e-waste apparently though ?
I understand Cruiser
I've learned that Canada classifies all ewaste as hazardous. That explains all the red tape.
@@sharkscrapper We are funny that way .... I think it goes back to when we sent a bunch of e-waste to the Philippines and Duarte threatened to declare war on Canada if we did not take it back. Being the polite people we are we took it all back ! 😅😅😅
Where do t send the gold pieces that i took out of 34 tv's. I have been following all the scrappers on u tube my name is Jeannette. Oh and where do i send the transformers to also
If you want to send me a pic or two, sharkscrapper@gmail.com, I'll see if I can help you with that.
Just send pic of what you're calling gold pieces and the transformers so I know for sure what you mean.
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 .
@@simonkh7278 we do like helping eachother
Yeah nice to watch here🥰🥰🥰
Glad you liked it.
Sharky, sent your cut from my weigh in today.
thank you very much George
ID #1 is a high grade hard drive I think.
ID #2 is the same maybe?
ID #3 is low grade HD?
I could be totally wrong on all of those LOL
Spot on Alrik - you nailed it.
@@sharkscrapper you asking about the same twice in a row confused me a bit though 😜😅
Hello @shark scrap how can someone reach you
sharkscrapper@gmail.com
@@sharkscrapper thanks
Big money in Ewaste? Where do you sell your stuff to get big money?
I think on the Dark Web Mike ? 😁😁
@@CruiserMac i'll have to check that out. Tks
🤣
😂
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 🤫😏🤑
Wow a very thorough identification. Awesome
How much money per lb sir ???
I don't post or discuss prices much because they change so frequently and are different from yard to yard. I recommend you check BOARDSORT.COM for latest prices.
What was the payout?
I'm really sorry but that video was a while back and don't remember.
@@sharkscrapper do you have a rough guess , I’m wondering just to gauge what I could bring in in a similar scenario
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.
really you sort then just by color???
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.
😎👊🏻
What was the payout thanks for wasting my time
This video is pretty old now so I don't remember, sorry. I have loads of videos you can waste time with any time you need to.
please dony say "its pretty obvious" BECAUSR ITS NOT!
Fair enough, I'll avoid that in the future.
most of your mystery items are the more modern hdd boards
Yup, high and low grade.
