Hey Guys!
So iv been refining for about a year now but to be honest I haven't really been making a profit atall,
I started with refining with pentium processors and out of 30 intel pentium mmx processors the black top ceramic ones got 3.24 grams of gold at about 23karat (93% pure) it cost me about 200 for 2kg them so no profit there but I learned alot out of that experience so I didn't mind the loss and iv really learn to love refining and reading hokes book it feels like everything makes so much sense I just love the learning
But
It also has to be at least profitable right? That way i can continue to stay interested and continue to learn more
Now I think that I am over paying for these CPUs and I'm sure I can fine a source that will supply with a good price.
Also I'm in India so there are a good amount of scrap computers since the whole world out sources to India and it has technology hubs like mumbai, hydrabad, chennai and more.
A few weeks shot I had bought 10 intel pentiums for 7500rs which is about 125 dollars,
And I refined that and got about 2.3 grams out
And sold that or about 7k
Now within chemical cost which is just a couple bucks and isn't a big deal , but for conversations sake 10 bucks which is 630 rupees
So I spent 7630 and made 7000... Is it my process? I can explain that in detail too if you ask..
I use a simple poor mans ar process recovered with SMB and ALWAYS. Tested with Stanous chloride..
Now I went out yesterday and tried to find a new dealer.. Wasn't able to fine any but I got my hands on a few processors that I plan to do each individually but what I got was
2 intel pentium pros at 800rs a pop.. So 1600 that's about 23bucks
1 intel pentium mmx 150rs about 2.50
3 amd green fiber ones for 50rs each so 150 another 3 bucks.
And one iProcessor for 200rs 4$
Ill be workin on that soon .. Total cost 2100 which would be 33bucks
What do you think? Could I be looking at profit? Am I getting my processors at the right price?
Thanks for reading
Shawn
