Hi everyone.
Ill be franc, I am new to all this. I made my research, understood the process and found where to buy all the chemicals, tools and containers. I am currently looking for the scrap itself. While doing so, I stumbled upon a bunch of adds on eBay that sell actual gold bars they got by harvesting the electronic scrap. What caught my attention is the price though. It is extremely low.
For example, there is this listing "500 Grams Scrap Gold Bar For Gold Recovery Melted Different Computer Coin Pins" and the guy sells 500g for just 60$. I am completely lost because I thought that the gold obtained through processing CPUs and motherboards and such is very pure at the end. The add does specify that it is not pure gold. Am I missing something here? Where is the catch? The add title mentions melting computer pins, does it mean the guy just melted gold plated parts without extracting the gold?
Thank you for your answers.
