Hey Roast
In my neck of the woods your question is in bad taste. It's the same as asking your co-worker how much they get paid, it's just not questioned.
What gold is worth is obvious and many have posted how much gold they have recovered from their actions. How much we make on ewaste has too many variables to answer with out specifics.

need a copy of my W-2? well i havent had one in about 7 years.

i understand your meaning but trying to not be unpatriotic or anything, most of the proceeds of this type work (Hobbyist refiner) would be considered "undeclared" income. good luck on getting people to declare how much they have made on an open forum on the internet.

I've lost money. Can I use that as a tax deduction :lol: :lol: :roll:

 

[Jimmy]

Since its a hobby no. :mrgreen:

 

[resabed01]

I've sold nothing so zero.

 

[ericrm]

up to today i have lost 10000 ... but someday i will become good at it :roll: edit: in fact 5 or 6k would be more realistic as i have sold gold in the past

im not ashamed but it is a very bad question to ask...

i must specifi that i have not realy "lost" that money it is just money that have gone in try and fail,equipment, chemical, material that was used to leach and never give the expected gold back etc etc...

What? You mean someone has figured out how to make money doing this? :lol:

Seriously though, when I sell my PM's its just to buy more supplies in order to keep having fun in this hobby.

Your question is wide-ranged. Now, personally, I'm 47 years of age, so, so far in my life I made lots of money. Not even a dent in dealing with precious metals or refining.

But many members are right, who would be foolish enough to tell you what they made doing this stuff? Then it might be

"Well, what materials did you use, and how much did you pay for it, and where and (or) who did you sell it to?"

Some questions are better off not asked, because it's almost like saying "I'm going to set you up, you just wait and see".

And believe me, no one here expects you to reveal how much money you've made, even though you never mentioned from what source you're talking about making money. Refining precious metals or money in general? I would assume you are assuming we should know that answer.

I know of a member or more here that talked about being a pilot, being an engineer, chemists, and on and on and on. I wouldn't bother asking a delicate question like that, even with 1 million posts.

A general question would work though, like:

How much do you generally get for 1 lb of cpu's?
How much silver can you get off of keyboard mylars?
How much .999 gold is in 14K gold by the gram?
...etc,.

Questions like that are shared here. Definitely not what you're asking.

It's quiet right now in the house, everyone else is sleeping, and I'm trying my best not to bust out laughing :shock:

Errf!dHey what's a w-2. I thought it was a w-4 or something
it really doesn't matter I did a job (plumbing) in 1986
On the side for $69,000.00 -my dad said "there gunna 1099 you boy"
I replied. "Nope got it right here on the contract ""WILL NOT 10-99 PLUMBER
Anyways after my 10-99 I owed like over $100,000.00
They use to offer me payments which I payed for a couple
years a few times
now they have not made contact in over 9-10 years
So I can honestly say I have spent more money
trying to make money than most people blow

Alright, I wasn't trying to offend anyone. I'm not getting personal. I am new to this and I was curious to see how successful people were at refining gold. Possibly for a little motivation. Thats all, I wont ask again.

 

[joem]

Good beasty. Now have a cookie. One thing for sure , you just have to ask any fine person here and they will freely tell you how to make that money you seek.
Or use the search function. lol

 

[roastbeast3000]

Hahaha! For sure.

 

[Palladium]

I will tell you this. Hard work and dedication in this field will pay off in spades! I wish i had learned what i know now 20 years ago. It takes applying yourself.

 

[Geo]

sweat never drowned anyone.

 

[steyr223]

1 thing I learned my life is it doesn't matter what you do
as long as you work you make money
And it seems you make almost the same amount of money I think it's probably because there's only 24 hours a day 7 days a week

 

[Pantherlikher]

You've all miss interperated the question.
It's not a Cash dollar value for anything.
How much do you value happyness?
Most of today's society measure happyness in how much you can purchase.
The real question is:
How much happyness do you get from this field? or life for that matter...

BS.
I'm 1 of the few richest men in the world and I can't put in my 2 cents...
