I started buying silver plate recently and found there are huge amounts of it available I have a buyer for 2.25 per lb but I would prefer to refine it. I have accumulated roughly 10000 lbs and suggestions?
 
You can get $2.25 a pound for it --- what did you pay for it ?

how are you thinking of going about refining it ?

there are a LOT of different types of plated material out there so pics would be helpful

Tried to upload a photo from phone but failed so tonight at home will upload from computer. It's a collection of antique plates players goblets forks spoons tea pots and more. From electric plate to triple to quad to Sheffield with upwards of 10% possibly.

I prorate my pay

Under 25 lbs $1.00 per lb
25-50 $1.25
50-100 $1.50
Over 100 $1.75
 
The only method I know of to strip that is to use 95% sulfuric and 5% nitric and very hot :oops:
Not something I would want to do as the fumes are terrible and highly dangerous, I’m fairly sure most refiners would take the same view.
I’m not sure anyone has a better method but in my opinion sell the stuff take your profit and buy more.
