Does anyone know what this is and if it might be worth anything? I have a whole big box of them, packed in anti-static bags. I suppose if no one wants them, I could always use 'em for shooting targets.

It's a random boards. PC boards without documentation -- or even with, if they implement some obscure or seldom-used function -- are generally worth less than cost of the components in them. You might see if your town has an electronics surplus store, and see what you could get for them there.-- Tim WescottWescott Design Services

That may be the same company, but, dicking around with optical disc drives

18 years ago and now specialising in LED lighting systems it is only the same in name.

Now I'm curious: What were these boards? the Link to the pictures didn't worked for me, so now I'm curious even more.

As somebody mentioned in his response, this board looked like to be part of a disk controller. To me, it is the power supply part of the disk controller, that is used to drive the motors. Look at those big capacitors. The MOSFET somebody mentioned, would be used as oscillator, then the high-freq (vs 60Hz) AC after transformer would be made DC again.

If you list them at a high price to start with, it's about $5 US to try.

BUT, if you list them at a penny and don't ask for any frills, it's a few thin dimes.

Plus a percentage (up to 5.25%) of the selling price if they sell.

Compares favorably with doing a garage sale in terms of time and yield if the stuff can be packed/shipped easily.
