Been lurking a little, and am hoping to be able to make some small contributions.
I'm a scrapper/recycler (for about the past 30 years), but not a refiner. As a matter of fact, my refining knowledge is elementary, and ancillary to what I've learned as a 'junk guy'.
I got started by managing a scrap film recycling business, quickly got into the catalytic converter business - back when I could pick them up all day long for FREE - then branched out into dental and a little electronics scrap - long before the advent of the PC and all the other personal electronics we enjoy today.
Rode the precious metals markets to the top the first time they exploded, and then straight back down, all the while making a good living at it.
There's something, in my opinion, inherently different about the current explosion in PM prices, something scary and portentious. This time it isn't getting the media attention it did last time, and I believe there's something scary about that - like it is finally becoming obvious how serious our economic condition is.
Whether you participate in this as a business or a hobby, I firmly believe you're going to be glad you have the knowledge to profit from the values found in an almost endless supply of valuable scrap materials.
