3 years old motherboard:

ASUS Sabertooth 990fx R2.0

Has problems booting - GPU LED is on (it does boot after 15-30 tries), but when it does boot everything is stable 100%.

For how much could I sell it for spare parts?

Did an upgrade, thus trying to get back as much money as possible.

Anybody with the know-how to fix it would want to pick it up real cheap to make it worth their time in fixing. Real cheap, like $15-20 cheap.

To anybody without the know-how to fix, it would be worthless.

Ultimately you can try to fix it yourself (knowing it stands as worthless) and learn from it. If it works - great! Sell as a working motherboard or keep as a spare. If you break it, well, it's still worthless. No harm in trying.

*EDIT* Didn't realize this thread was a week old.

Not many know how to repair a broken MB, so there might not be such a high demand for them. But maybe the BIOS is corrupted. You should try to see if you can repair it and then sell it as a working MB.
