Empty CPU sockets still have scrap value

A motherboard without a processor is still a graded board, not trash.

The local take

Large-socket boards have paid about $8.50/lb; small P4 about $4.85/lb. The jackpot was the CPU — it is not required to make a $200 crate lot work.

What to do next

  1. Count desktops and laptops — five is the usual minimum unless I’m already on your block.
  2. Say if TVs are included. They are quoted.
  3. Book a pickup or use Hillsborough CCC / Pinellas drop-off for two intact items.
