I have quite a few of these gold plated pins that are soldered onto different types of boards, usually for charging things like radios. I will post a picture of three boards together.My question is, should I remove the pins?And sell the pins and the board separately or just leave the pins on the board and sell it under a specific category? I just want to make sure i'm making the most money from my scrap. Also, i'm sure that I probably need to remove some of the components such as capacitors, if they aren't tantulum containing for example.

Generally, depopulating will make you more money but it usually makes for a worse hourly wage. If you have the time, then you might as well. I doubt that board would be anything other than high grade peripheral (if that, make sure to remove the capacitors). Maybe Telecom low/high if cleaned up.

Best bet is to email Chris and ask him what he thinks.

Okay I will email him. Thanks!
