Copperbill, Adding onto what Lostinlodos said: He's absolutely right about NOS anything (phones, cassette players, etc.) it sells fairly quickly, either to collectors or to folks that actually use the older stuff. Sanyo's stuff is usually pretty low end, both from a retail perspective and from a component perspective, so if there are loose boards directly from Sanyo, from what I'm seeing in the pics, there's not much there beyond midgrade, so your pile would be a good place to start if you wanted to "microscrap", as much I hate throwing that word around. Aside from e-waste, my main business is dealing with folks who are rehabbing vintage units (think TRS80, IBM 5150, era) and connecting them to the people and to the parts. Prices for anything working from the 70's and 80's, not just computer related equipment (I doubt you'll find anything in your pile aside from loose boards) but any consumer electronic, especially if the original packaging is still intact, are good even for the lower end of the market, and they have increased over the past few months because of increased boredom and extra money floating around from the CARES Act (I have things to say about that as well, but that's for another time and forum). Depending on where you are, and what gems are hidden in those boxes, I can help connect you to folks here in New England, I know a large number of collectors/hobbyists that are always looking for NOS things and curiosities.
