Should I buy this book

[golddie]

We have a whole bunch of information that is similar to what this person is selling but still I am tempted to buy this book
What do you folks think does it look like a good investment

Sounds good to me, could be some perspective (prospective) value there.
A one year money back guarantee. . . . (not backed by gold of course)

If you do buy it and its any good let us know. But I doubt it. These "guides" are always full of things that you probably already know or are just plain common sense. I bet you can find any information in that book somewhere here on the forum or there is a member that can shed light on it. Just imagine if the material on this forum was made into a book.

Trust me when I tell you, there is NOTHING in the general public that can compete with the information here. If you wish to spend a few bucks buy a DVD from Lazersteve or buy GoldSilverPro's guide. Either one will be far and away more informative than anything available on the the 'net at large

Do Not forget Hoke's, I like Ammens also.

most of what he says are in the book are already here in this site but there are a few things that are not here
for example
he says he will tell you where to sell
1 cell phones
2 electronic scrap
3 industrial and specialty alloys
I know you can sell electronic scrap on eBay and also go on forums to sell
other than that i done know where to sell cell phones and alloys

I have seen all of this discussed.

What are you buying?

What do you have for sale?

Hi qst42know
lets say i have copper wires and i have mixture of nickel alloy from here and there where could i sell this.
also where can you cell phones
Thanks

 

[qst42know]

So where are you from?

No scrap yards on your planet? :lol: (Sorry I couldn't resist)

Scrap yards buy any copper wire different sizes for different prices.

Is your nickel scrap in a recognizable form?

I've seen cell phones sold on eBay.

Some members here have scrap buyers for circuit boards.

Hi qst42know
I am in Canada and there are scrap yards and i never tried to sell them anything because i don't think you get the best return for your money
i think if i went to jewelers they would give me better return
the nickel is recognizable they are things like parts from lamps and plumbing parts
as for refining e-scrap sometimes it may be a better choice to sell it to someone else

I doubt a jeweler would want to buy scrap metal,except gold,silver or PGM's.
Lamp and plumbing parts are more likely to be brass, not nickel.A scrap yard is probably your best bet,you just have to find an honest one that you want to deal with.

Hi jimdoc
You are right about the yellow metals but copper is pure and that they will buy
are there any cell phones being sold as collectibles items
i know that people collect everything
I doubt if all cell phones are collectibles
i did a quick Google search and there are people selling these things

 

[jimdoc]

Brass can be nickel or chrome plated,and look like nickel.
You have to file into it to see it is brass.Then there is red
brass that pays more than the yellow or plated stuff.

If you want to gamble on cell phones being collectible,just
throw them in a box and forget about them for about ten years.

I have heard of scrap yards in remote locations taking advantage of being the only game in town. When copper was high a while back ($3.50/lb.) a friend told me his scrap yard never paid over $1.00.

About the only common high nickel scrap that comes to mind is non-magnetic stainless.

You may need to save up for a while and do a road trip to a more competitive area. Learn how they grade different types of scrap and call around.

 

[butcher]

copper and brass can be worth holding on to if you have room to store them, and sit on them till the price and demand peaks, like a small savings account.

I found this one on internet, but I couldn´t find a conclusion of this thread.

At the end, is this book something valuable, for a beginner, wanting to save some time? I know here there are an impresive amount of cummulated knowledge far away better than any other site or booklet around the internet.

I also know that steve is an active member of this forum.
