From what I can tell in the pictures, Oi.
- Boards unsorted/unprocessed, $1.00/lb., loose packed as they appear I would estimate on low end of 500lb to a gaylord. $500/ Per Gaylord.
- Equipment with boards, as they appear, meaning... there is a lot of steel/tin etc. Averaging 10-20 cents/lb. A stacked pallet of that kind of material averages 800-1000lb. per pallet at a height of 4ft. that brings an average pallet value of $140/per 4ft. stacked pallet.

Semi load considered as (1) 53 ft. Dry Van, can transport 26 pallets across the floor, 52 double stacked
Semi load of boards - 52 Gaylords double stacked $26,000
Semi load of unprocessed equipment - 52 pallets (4ft. Height) double stacked $7,280

That is the actual valuation of your inventory as it currently sits in my industry.
Loads would be transported to the facility, and shredded on site. Add $25/hr. per 1 laborer to operate the shredder.
Hrs. required to shred material is determined by weight/workload.
You may add a second laborer for material handling/assistance to first laborer on shredder to speed up processing for an additional $25/hr.
Documentation of destruction is provided if needed.

A 15% charge is automatically deducted from final valuation for commission. This is non negotiable, and notarized signed documentation is required before any work of any kind is to start. Once the documentation is signed and notarized, you will be given the address to the facility. Any transactions with the facility in the future will also incur a deduction of 15% off of final valuation for commission. If at any time, an attempt to avoid paying this 15% were to happen, your load then, and in the future will be rejected, and you will be banned from the facility.

All estimates from the very few pictures available, and information provided are not final, and not to be considered an offer. Any numbers and information provided are purely for speculative and informational purposes only.

Edit* To clarify: This post was in response to the original poster, not anyone else that posted or shared pictures.
"Millions"..... I about spit my coffee out from laughter.

Just to put things in perspective - here are a couple pics of some of the very highest grade/value of boards you can find

If you had 1 - 1 & 1/2 semi truck load(s) of NOTHING BUT those boards you would have a load of boards worth around (plus/minus) a million dollars worth of boards

A semi truck load is (about) 20 tons - so you would need 20 - 30 tons of nothing but those boards to be worth a million (much let alone million(S)

nothing you have shown us comes even close to the value of these boards - in fact most of what you have shown us runs low grade to mid grade with "some" higher grade stuff - but nothing in the "highest" grade stuff like these boards

Now then - there is no question - that if you have 12 tons (of what you have pictured) you have a very fair amount of value - it's just is not worth million(s) --- not even close & that is because you have everything from the lowest grade of boards to some of the higher grade (but not highest grade) boards

now then - if you "really" want to find someone interested in buying your boards - you need to "sort" them into their different "value categories" & post a weight for each & every type/category board you have so that any potential board buyer can give you an actual (estimate) price quote of what you actually have

Let me put it this way - I can not quote you a price because in your pics you have a total mix if boards - worth 25 cent a pound - $1/# - $2/# - $3/# - $5/# - $7/# - $10/# etc. --- but I have NO idea how many pounds of each of those values you have --- so how do I give you a price quote on what you "actually" have

There is just no way to put a value on a barrel full of "mixed" boards --- they NEED to be "sorted" into there board value categories

I (& no one else) is going to quote you a telecom price on a barrel full of mixed boards because there are a few telecom boards on top of the barrel but the barrel is half full of power supply boards worth only 25 cents a pound

Right now - bases on the pics you posted - there is simply "no way" to quote a price/value on what you have because its a "total" mix of everything from the very lowest grade to "some" nice higher grade stuff

Even if you do a sort - at best you will only get an "estimate" quote --- before the buyer actually pays out - the buyer is still going want to go through your sort to make sure you did a true &/or proper sort on what you deliver

So - even after you deliver - it will take at least 2 weeks to a month before the buyer gets to & goes through your sort - to check your sort - & then pay out on your delivery

If you bring in a "mixed" load (as you have pictured) they will have to do the sort so it "may" take longer before you see your pay out - AND - they are going to charge you for doing the sorting

That is how this business works - there are no short cuts (as in - I have 12 tons of boards - they are worth millions - who wants to buy them)

Thank you Kurtak, may I call you Kurt?
I took this statement as a challenge to my line of work, thank you for the puzzle.
I believe the solution in my last post was adequate, or at least an idea of value.
If the guy was serious, I would actually consider the deal. I believe it's safe guarded.

Per the bold print - I don't have time to post much today but - yes you can call me Kurt

I will comment further in the next day or two as this looks like it will be good for further discussion !

I have an interest in purchasing several kilograms of the boards depicted in 3 or 4 of your photos. Are you willing to sell any of your PCBs? If you are willing to sell any quality of them, how might I contact you directly to discuss the details?

If anybody is intrestedo to by this type of boards simply send a message to pacinmarcin --> Gmail
I have better materiał to sell, 7-oz of Rhodium above 98% purity, Palladium, Platinum and other elements. Best way is Gmail to pacinmarcin.... com

What makes you think a heat sink would be made of silver - bottom line is that there is ABSOLUTELY NO reason to use silver for sinking heat away from the heat created during the operation/running of the circuit board

Copper &/or aluminum will do that job "perfectly fine" --- there is - NO - advantage - to using silver - for sinking heat --- therefore - why would "anyone" spend 10 times as much to make a silver heat sink when a copper or aluminum heat sink will work perfectly fine - for sinking heat :?: :?: :?:

Just NOT going to happen :!: :!: :!:



Before (about) 2007 - most solder used in electronics was a tin/lead alloy - after (about) 2007 - due to the concern of toxic lead they went to a solder alloy of 95% tin 5% antimony - IF (the BIG IF) silver solder is/was used the silver content of the solder only runs between 3 - 5% silver (MAYBE - 10%) with the rest being tin - but that is rare

as far as the yellow/gold "tint" you are seeing - that is one of two things - (1) it is the flux used during the soldering process that was not cleaned off after making the board(s) or - (2) it is a varnish coating used to prevent the tin/lead (solder) alloy from oxidizing which could cause the board(s) to fail

Do you know something about conduction in RFMW lowless technology? I think most of replays in this post is only looking on picture and " talking... " nothing worth to lie...
Go to Google and and serch " Huber Suhner Gold over palladium nickel alloy" Do something more and start to learn.... becouse $$$$ are crossing all of you like a BigFoot 🤣

Hi Pacin,

No offence mate but.....
If you are such a hot shot in this field, why are you trying to move your stuff here, thinking that the members of this forum have less to no knowledge about the things you are presenting.
If the stuff you want to move is so "hot deal" you could even sell it on the street corner near the grocery store and passing people would buy it.
With that attitude, i wouldnt take anything from you even if you would give it away for free..it is just not right. (i saw this attitude mostly with scammers when they failed in their quest to take your money)
IMHO if a deal is too good to be true....it usually is.

There is an old saying --- you can fool some people sometimes - but you can't fool everyone all the time !!!

There is another old saying --- a fool is soon parted from his money !!!

If you think money is crossing us all like big foot --- go sell your stuff to bigfoot !!!

I am sure bigfoot will pay high grade price for all your mid & low grade stuff !!!

Edit to add; - per the bold print - after posting what I did I went & looked at your pics - there is no question you have some nice stuff there (so I stand corrected)

If you really want to try to sell what you have then do this --------

Take a pic of each type item - post the weight of that item along with the price you are asking for that item --- you may actually get someone that is interested

However - after posting what you did in the above quote - you have more then likely already turned people off from wanting to do any business with you --- it's NEVER good business to treat people like they are idiots (which is what you have done)

But - you can TRY to redeem yourself by doing as I just suggested

Personally - because of you attitude - the only way I would do business with you is if you sent me stuff & then I would send money AFTER I received the stuff

In other words - because of your attitude - I most certainly would not send you money before received the stuff - having in my hands on it to be insured I am getting what I pay for

RFMW produce semi conductors and connectors for RF and microwave technology.
Huber and Suhner produces connectors and housing for mostly audio and video it seems.
There was no reference to heatsinks.

Most high end heat sinks are either pure copper or copper braced to aluminum with heat tubes. There is as Kurt say, no reason to use anything else today, if that should occur it will be silver.
Maybe some time in the future it could be some graphene or carbon nanotube product.
Still a long way from Gold and PGMs.

This is what I mean, start to read and start to serch. In the link it's only one of the hundreds connector from Huber Shuner made at individual production line: Largest Distributor of Electrical/Electronic components with more than 3 MILLION products

Most of the RFMW amplifires are made by lowloss tech. If you dont know why you didn't have PGM after XRF read the doc.
Second thing, what to do if you need to protect your amplif. from the electrostatic discharge at storm. Need to use connection witch is great conductivity, great lowloss proportis and have ability of catalitic proporties to do the ideal wether climat inside of the boxcase of your amlif.
At the end I can tell if you need to do metalic connection to send data, mesure temp. of connection to do Lowloss and it it's need to be a catalitic converter at all of the path you need to use PGM's
The XRF, XRD, edERX dont show you existation of the PGM becouse its a bimetalic structure witch is changing all of the electric proporties. To mesure the contamination of PGM's in this materials you need use ASA or wet path witch depends what material you need to check.
This is hi tech. eqiupment better then simply old militarny stuff 🤸‍♀️🙃

There was no bad attitude to anybody, it was olny to let all of the others know that this stuff is preaty precious but nobody know how its made and how to mesure contamination in this type of stuff.

Per the bold print - that is where you are absolutely wrong

There are a good MANY of us on this forum that have been members of this forum for MANY YEARS & have been discussing the recovery of PMs from electronic scrap - FOR YEARS

over the year there is little - OR NO - scrap that we have not seen & that has not been discuss in detail - as well as very detailed discussions on how to recover the PMs from just about EVERY kind of scrap you can imagine !!!

So - how dare you come on this forum - as a NEW member - & tell us we don't know anything & that we need to start doing our research - because - as you say ---

becouse $$$$ are crossing all of you like a BigFoot
For your information - I personally have been at this (& been a member of this forum) for 11 years - I used to handle literally TONS of circuit boards - every month

I - along with MANY members on this forum have not only seen - but have in fact PROCESSED some of the very highest grade E-scrap you will ever see - & made a living doing so

You are NOT the "Holy Man" of E-scrap !!!
--- coming on this forum - & acting as if you are the holy man of e-scrap is IN FACT an insult - not just to me - but to MANY members of this forum

So - get off your high horse - & start our own "research" - on this forum - & YOU might just learn something

Here are just "some pics" of VERY high grade stuff - & these pics are just the tip of the iceberg of stuff that I have seen & processed

Kurt

Just a couple more pics of VERY high grade (again just the tip of the iceberg) --- & for what it is worth I have run batches of pins that where so heavy with gold plating that they ran 5 grams gold per pound pins (so more then 10 grams per kilo)

So Mister Holy Man of E-scrap --- I want you tell me again how money is crossing my path like big foot

Because what I have just posted is a VERY SMALL example of the metals I have seen AND PROCESSED - from VERY HIGH GRADE STUFF !!!!!!!!!

Get my point Holy Man ???????

Edit to add; - in other words - you are NOT the holy man you THINK you are !!!!!
