So, recapping might not be a money-making venture...

[dood]

I just sold one of my Gigabyte GA-7VKML boards on ebay.

Now, I got two of these, both with bad caps, for free, from the place where I work. I spent $10.20 in caps for each board... This board just sold for $17.10 . At least I didn't _lose_ money, as I had shipping on top of the sale price (I always do calculated shipping). But that's not a whole lot of profit for my time. I really didn't have anything to do with two of the same board, though. My search for cheap Socket A (462) procs has been coming up blanks, so that one board was just sitting around collecting dust.

Anyway, just thought I'd throw that out there...

Here's the link to the auction, btw- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...DME:B:AAQ:US:1

Someone got themselves a real sweet deal then. Maybe advertising the fact it's been recapped might raise a few enthusiast's brows?

Its done ok for me..... Sold MANY $5.00 VP6's for $150.00+ after recapping them.

I guess it just depends on what board it is, then. The old 7vkml isn't a very sought-after board
