As I sit here and type this post, with my feet sitting on a tote that contains over 100 pounds of close-cut gold fingers! I just checked E-bay and fingers are getting $100.00 a pound or real close! You mean to tell me my feet are resting on $10,000.00 worth of scrap???!!! Well alright then! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
I would try to sell them outright here or in some other means then ebay otherwise your looking at 9000$ plus paypal fees if you use that too. Just wanting to let you know and not to mention if some one complains they can freeze your paypall account never a good thing.

Best regards,
Ross
 
I told my wife we had better get an inventory of all the gold bearing scrap we have around here. Looks like the prices are starting to get crazy. I'm sure I will be quite surprised with the totals I will come up with. :shock:

Sorry Just hate it when I sell stuff on there and lose that money really irks me and then they slap a 21 day holding on your paypal account. Didn't mean to insult anyone's intelligence. Just trying to look out for the great folks here.

Regards

The two totes are sitting under my desk. I use them at footrest. These are Rubbermaid 1721 Gray Palletote Boxes, each one is 1.3 cu. ft. The one tote has 71 pounds of fingers in it, the other has 160 pounds of fully plated pins in it. This is not all of it, just what is under my feet right now as I type. The Colt 45 1911 is for scale.

Thanks a lot. I have to get a new keyboard now. This one shorted out from the drool.... :|
 
Those are some low grade fingers you have there. I doubt i could get a
gram of gold per pound out of them. Send me 10 pounds or so and let
me try.

See the gun? That's to keep the robbers away!! :shock: :shock: :shock:
 
The gun is for robbers and the Forum is for the gullible. 8)

I know what it takes to get even a pound of fingers, so I can
really appreciate someone who has generated ten pounds of them
and has the patience to rest his feet on them and not refine them!

Kudos!

Try 70 lbs!!!

Must have taken some time.
It might be easier and more profitable to sell them on eBay in smaller lots rather than refining them, but this would take the fun out of refining them of course. edit> Or you could process them first then sell them to that idiot on eBay who bought the processed fingers and may twice your return.
 
Duh! A hundred pounds is what I thought I was typing. :roll:

Those pesky nerve synapses that go from the brain to the fingers! :lol:
 
Trust me, it has taken years to pile all this stuff up. I keep the best of the best and sell everything else to keep the business going. Been at it for 15 years now. I really think it would scare me if I did get all the stuff together and add it up. 8)
 
You probably must have over 15 troy ouces of gold under your feet.

And yes, I do feel envy. I wonder who doesn't :mrgreen:

Paypal often freezes the money even if no one complains. They say they are protecting the buyer, but i think it is more about holding your money for their own interest.
