I have the opportunity to buy these from a business, but I do not know how much per pound these would be or what they would be called. We are a recycling plant in Florida and a business has these for me. can someone please tell me what they are and what price range I would get for each one. The first two photos I believe are the same thing just front and back sides.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

you are looking at most likely peripheral grade boards. If I were in your situation, I would play it safe and not assume they are any higher than that. you "MAY" get something better, but i wouldn't put my own money on it.

Thank you so much for your help. So you would say about $1.20 per pound as charted on this site? they are suppose to have hundreds of pounds.

EDITED!!!! I have no idea what I was looking at but all periphial

1) peripheral. Unscrew the mounting, that's not what they mean by bracket. :)

2)remove the cables. What's on the other side? And again remove the heavy mounts.
Peripheral from what i can see.
Remove that tiny board attached as it will go telco.

3)peripheral

thanks lostinlodos this is all new to me, they want me to offer a bid on them and I have no idea what to offer.

I always take off the metal brackets as they weigh a lot and you usually loose PPP(price per pound) when they are left on.

I think my best bet is to ask what they want or are expecting to get per pound and go from there, I guess the term "You Live, You Learn" will come from this one LOL.

Assuming there's more quantity than what is posted...
Me personally, I'd shoot them 40¢-60¢ pound as is given the junk coming with it. once the metal and plastic is removed everything there will run $1.20-$4.xx a pound sorted and breaking the stufd down somewhat you've also got the excess wire that looks like it may be silver or ag/ni wires. Plastics and steel as well.

If that's all they got I'd give them whatever your cbm or board rate is. 25¢-45/50¢ Per lb.

Btw if they actually worked those (in order) network switches run $50-$100
The flypull board probably get a few bucks and the final bus card should run $10+
All as said if working and you're willing to sell them with some level of guarantee. ;)

Yes, I see nothing on those boards that warrants more than that. You will have to factor in the weight of the metal brackets in as well as your time and effort, and shipping as well.

As for trying to resell them, don't bother. Unless you can find a way to test them and guarantee they work, no one will be willing to pay you much for the items. Even if the top networking card and the fiber optic thingy work, they may not be up to date equipment... usually there is a reason companies get rid of old technology.

It's always worth checking model numbers with ebay, but you have to be reasonably certain of their origin and be willing to back up the equipment.

Thank you all so very much for helping me with this. I did go and pick it all up, there was around 850 pounds of it. I am in the middle of taking all the metals and plastics off of them, so far I have been at it for more than 3 days now. But wow there was so much more in the boxes, there happen to be 25 pounds of SRAM I have no idea what that is as it is priced like the same as regular RAM. So now i am on a search for this SRAM and what it is really. It is a lot bigger than regular ram but still has the gold fingers. So if the SRAM is about the same price as regular RAM that should pay for the whole load right there. I went with 30 cents PP on the boards with metals, the metal weighs almost the same as the boards. And 40 cents for the one without metal, I went low because I have to rent a truck and drive this stuff 2 hours away. Hopefully in the end it was all worth it. Without your help i could not have known what to even pay, so thank you all so much I really appreciate it.

Oh I even found 9 ceramic CPU 486, nice.

Here is the pic of the SRAM if anyone can tell me what it is worth.

The vast majority of those flat double height cards are going to go as telco or gold finger card. What you posted is telco.
REMOVE THE dallas BOX.
It's a battery backup unit for non-volatile ram memory.
