What I honestly find worse than the people that gut old gear to sell, are
the ones that buy it. If you were going to make a profit scrapping the
stuff off ebay, wouldn't those ebay sellers just go and scrap it or whatnot
themselves? Obviously you're buying into a bad deal.

Ah, thanks for the heads-up!
Having had to scrap some S100 systems because no one was prepared to
pay the shipping, I thought I'd keep some of the cards and drives, etc. in
case someone needed them; I'd also have thought that offering that
calculator board (I happen to have one of those as well) on eBay was better
than throwing it in the trash.
But now that I know that buying and selling parts from gutted old gear are
'crimes', I'll throw them in the landfill first thing tomorrow morning
(after first using them for target practice of course). I certainly don't
want you, Dave, N0body H0me, etc. to think that I suck; bad enough to be
chastised by Dave for scrapping for parts some LA100s that I'd offered
several times with no takers.
