Need advice on some boards

To Depopulate or not to depopulate?

These were all sealed in antistatic bags therefore new, but in searching them I find very lil to no sold on ebay and I am torn between removing all the billions of pretty yellow caps and flatpacks and pins!

What would you guys do? Sell as is or depopulate?
The company is Melco Industries and the application is Embroidery machines?
These are just a couple of the different cards in the huge lot.

Are we talking pounds, hundreds of pounds or tons?

Are you setup to depo and recover that much?

If you sell as is all you are out shipping costs. Unless you bought them.

Send them to me! Just playing

I've got all kinds of different boards it's a nice load. I'm just trying to figure out whether I make more depopulating them and selling the components or just selling the boards as is. I've got motherboards laptop motherboards drive boards I mean a ton of Telecom you name it I've got boards daughter boards lots of fingerboards I'm just afraid I'm going to make the wrong choice on how to sell them I don't practice doing any processing anymore I have COPD so I can't

For example this board it has a 10 nice thick fingers has a ton of nice thick pins a bunch of the black chips the capacitors. I'm torn on what's more value.

 

[Rreyes097]

So selling them then?

 

[Theolderthegolder]

Yes either way but naturally would like to get the most value out of them and if there's not a big difference in value between whole or depopulated well then I won't ruin my hands trying to make a couple cents more

 

[Rreyes097]

I would think saving time by selling whole would be the best way. Since time is money! Plus I don't know if there's a buyer for everything on those beauties. But I don't know much.

By chance are these Motorola equipment, some of these look familiar.

 

[Theolderthegolder]

Melco, dell, others but I don't see any in this batch. I have like 10 times this or more.

Based on what I’ve read in your thread and what I see in the pictures I’d attempt to sell the whole boards.

I haven’t checked in the last couple hours but someone said last night on Facebook that the Boardsort site was down. I checked and verified that’s correct, my browser said their certificate is bad. Usually I get a choice to go to a site anyway if it was just an expired certificate for example, but it wouldn’t even let me go to their site.

I am having absolutely no problems at all logging onto Boardsort.com. I am not sure why you are having difficulties. Maybe try another browser?! Not sure. By the way, I am using Duck over chrome. Good luck my friend.

They still have a problem. I still can’t get into it at all from Safari. Firefox also gives me a message that the site is not configured correctly and it’s not trusted, but at least Firefox will let me choose to bypass the warning and go to the site anyway. Those are both from my iPad.

I’ve tried it from my desktop computer also and from Firefox which is recently updated it says security error certificate revoked. From Safari on the computer (which hasn’t been updated in at least 4 years) it works and I don’t get any warning. Maybe you just aren’t using a very secure browser, or yours is out of date also?
