In other words- more than the gold value. - Not to dig at Nik- this is what happens now- it sells for over it's real value on eBay- so find alternatives.
I know Boardsort seems to be the benchmark around here, but the are not the end all in pricing. Many other buyers can beat them on prices. I know that prices can get stupid on ebay sometimes, and it's a good place to sell small amounts of good scrap, but it's not the place to sell truckloads of it. Like I said, I have tons of it for sale, cash, come and get it.niks neims said:anachronism said:niks neims said:Shure and lots of it. Almost the whole spread of common e-waste...

c'mon of course it`s always more than gold value,
in a material like small socket motherboards gold constitutes only about 70 % of metals value...
And ceramic CPUs - I recently sold 1 Pentium Pro on e-bay for about 15 eur; according to sam's list there's less gold than that...
But yeah, Mfe18, let me give you a piece of advice - working on amateur level you won`t make any money refining e-scrap If you buy it here, on e-bay, or anywhere on the internet, really - I mean, there is places like boardsort.com with their prices posted public - and you probably can`t even meet those prices, why would anyone sell to you if the same shipping costs are involved?
Either work on gathering your material for free (or much cheaper) or your aim should not be refining but refurbishing or selling to computer collectors and the like...

That is honestly the hardest part of this business.
The funny part to me is that it's usually those on the bottom, that have the highest rate of return for money that they put out there...that want to realize full intrinsic value with no processing charges.
"I got this pound of sterling at the salvation army for $10...and in the next breath, no, I want more than 92% ASV"
Yes, I would say you do. As the alternative is always to buy pure gold at a lesser price, then you would have more value in the end no matter if the price of gold goes up or down.silversaddle1 said:Well that all depends. If you had bought 1000 pounds of clean fingers back when gold was 400 dollars an ounce, and say you paid over recovered value then, would you still be loosing money on them at 1300 dollar gold?

The Moderators come here to talk about refining. Members who do not follow the rules as stated, take away from the goal of this forum, which is “Refiners helping one another”. Whether they realize it or not, they are forcing the Moderators to be policemen when we are really here to discuss refining. We will enforce all of these rules, we will issue warnings and ban members who abuse the privilege, and we will continue to live up to the standard that has been created here.
niks neims said:I`d say I`ve been brainwashed by GRF - that large scale professional refinery/copper smelter is such an effective system (this is often used here as argument to deter amateurs from trying to process motherboards, for example) that it could successfully operate on >10% of yield... Or maybe it is harder on me because of my rather small volumes - but so far european processing plant offers have been unsatisfactory (but their customer-service is top-noch!), I am looking further away from home right now, but you must've forgotten how hard it was in the beginning Jon, when you did not have your ivory tower of "perspective, volume and ongoing hard data" yet, only a vague idea of values to go on
