I have 10 pounds of trimmed gold memory and 2 pounds of untrimmed (I know probably tin) I can't do anything with right now. Any suggestions?

I get the same price for tin memory as I get for the gold (about $10 lb).
Also memory without fingers I get half price(about $5 lb).
Just save it up until you get more.

i have been trimming memmory and thought I could save it as some boards seem to have gold under the coating on the back side.Of course I probably have to take off the chips before treating the boards to remove the solder resist using the recommended chem. by lazerer Steve.
Seems like a waste to dump them and then the tin one's what to do with them?

Read the posts above, the tin memory is worth the same as the gold, and trimmed memory is worth half.

Where do you find fingers for $100 a pound? Not that even $1000 a pound would matter on my pile I have already made the deal. But just curious for the future maybe :shock:

They go for even 200 a pound on eBay. You have to list and wait for crazies. :mrgreen:

I'm trying to work this equation out - So far, I've only been playing around with chemicals on gold-plated pins from mil-spec connectors. Our PCBs, gold fingers, computer parts etc. have been placed into storage in a conex container - waiting for our eventual attention. Are gold fingers currently selling for more than the value of their gold content? I hesitate to glom onto a market gone amok - but I have an eBay account - and I am a capitalist at heart...

I will give you $6.00 per pound for those IC's. I also pay $14 per pound for mixed memory, $6 per pound for the trimmed memory, but it sounds like you already sold it.

I sent a request through your site.

ok these 15 pounds 11 ounces of RJ45 jacks were trimmed from 1993 network cables, ( the cards were sold to aristo) I've read online, and here, that the pins are plated with anywhere 20 - 50 microns.
Any offers?
And Chris did you get my email from your site about the ICs?
ps trimmed memory are sold
Please note if you had not read elsewhere, this is for my kid's goal.

For the sake of accuracy, the plating is more likely 10-50 microinches - with most running 10-30 microinches. A micron is a millionth of a meter - while a microinch is a millionth on an inch. Confusing the two results in about a 39:1 error in estimated thickness. I'd love to find pins that are plated to 50 microns - thats 2 mils thickness of gold!

I am fairly certain I got your email. Sometimes it is hard to match the email names to the forum names, ya know what I mean? If I have yet to reply then by all means write me again as I answer all mail.
Glad to hear you were able to sell your trimmed memory.
Not sure if this would have made a difference, but as of today we are now paying $12 a lb for the trimmed memory, and $14 for whole, which is a substantial increase on the trimmed memory.
In fact, if you include one trimmed memory stick for every 2 whole sticks, we will pay $14 on both (wow!).

Shipping is the real problem, do you pay for shipping?
No, we do not cover shipping. All of our payout rates are quoted "as shipped".
We try to keep our prices as competitive as possible to help you defray the shipping costs. Most (if not all) of our customers have discovered dealing with us, even after considering shipping costs, has been worthwhile.
