New Guy with Question

[djbradley61]

Alrite guys, I am new to electronics recycling and I am 100% in it for the gold. I got Hoke, read it, and I got lasersteves video on AP. Awesome stuff. I am a list and chart guy tho. Where can I find a good breakdwon on what boards and CPUs are worth what in a good easy to follow format? They don't have to be current, I just want to know. I found one on the assayers forum about motorola boards for 125/lb. What is that? I have read ALOT though these forums but i need some direction. Where else do i find gold? What should I pay without over paying for my gold?

welcome to the forum buddy

theres gold in almost all electronics, most popular are the cpu and circuit boards, theres just been a new search bar at the top, a goole one, and its brilliant ask it anything, lots off people on here have done lots of test with different electronics and different yields so all the info is there for you mate, also there's also other valuable metals in these electronics like silver and palladium to watch out for .

nice to meet you,
Dame

djbradley61,
Well if your paying for old scrap electronics (once considered trash), you are most likely paying too much) free is the price you would like to find it for.

You may get Ideas about how much some of the stuff is worth (by searching yields) and if you have an idea of what you are looking for (like memory fingers, CPU's, Gold fill, and so on), but where you really need to do is make your own list by what you recover yourself, this is the only way you will truly know what your yield should be based on, some of the charts may be inaccurate, or one member may post yield and be using a different process or just be better at squeezing out every drop of gold, or there can be wide ranges of the amount in the same type of material all scrap is not created equal your pins may be better than my pins.
