anachronism said:They are better than server or PC boards overall. I apologise in advance for not being specific however I make my living from refining this equipment and I'm not disclosing the exact figures on a forum. You can have the boards assayed or send a load into a refinery and then you will have your own data which I am sure you will then use to your own commercial advantage.
If anyone else wants to pitch in their figures than that's their business. 8)

However, and as no one needs to disclose the fair price for such items, I'll ask the question the other way around.
Is it a fair price to pay almost 17 USD per Kg of these boards ?
Hope to get an answer now :wink:
anachronism said:There's not a lot of point in guessing if you don't know the weight of the boards Arturs. That can get you into a lot of bother with pricing mate.
People naturally look at a number and remember it.

anachronism said:You cannot base a business model upon the yields posted "on t'interweb" as we say in the UK. Why? Simply because 99% of the posted yields are rubbish. They are rubbish because the guys who really know the yields won't post their results because it would remove commercial advantage, and the vast majority of what you see is similar to Wikipedia data which is often completely unsubstantiated.
To do this you would need to invest a few hundred thousand in buying refinery product, striking up a refinery deal, and over the course of a number of months determining your own yields BEFORE even considering the route of refining yourself
