Components

Memory, processors, graphics and accelerator cards, system boards and power supplies — the parts that routinely outlive the machines they were installed in.

What affects value here. Components are the clearest example of reuse-before-recovery. A board that has been pulled, sorted and described is worth many times its material value. Loose, unsorted mixed components are still bought, but sorting adds real value if you have the capacity for it.

Components questions

Does TAR buy loose, unsorted components?

Yes. Mixed component lots are bought regularly. Sorting by type increases value if you are able to do it, but it is not a requirement.

Are pulled parts from failed machines worth selling?

Often, yes. Memory, processors and power supplies frequently survive the failure of the system around them, and are among the most reusable parts in IT hardware.

What about GPUs and accelerator cards?

Bought. Describe the models and quantities; demand and value vary considerably across generations and markets.
